6 CHAPTER III the FACTUAL BACKGROUND 19. This Chapter
6 CHAPTER III THE FACTUAL BACKGROUND 19. This chapter sets out the backgroundto the 1964Stanfieldproposal,the context in which it occurred and the subsequenthistory of discussionsrelating to the "Stanfield line." 20. This factual backgroundis based on infonnation availableto Newfoundland and Labrador from sources in the National Archivesof Canada,from provincial archives and from other government sources. There has not been any general discoveryof documents between the parties. 21. What was in issue at the time of the Stanfieldproposal and later was not the division of resource revenuesbetween Canadaand the Atlantic Provinces,or even the management of explorationand development,butthe rightto fullownershipandjurisdiction ofthe offshore and its mineral resources. It was in the context of attempts to have Canada recognize provincial ownership andjurisdiction of the offshore and its resources that interprovincial boundaries were discussed. I. The ConstitutionalFramework 22. At Confederation in 1867, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and the Province of Canada (consistingofOntarioandQuebec)joined to fonn the DominionofCanada. Later,Manitoba (1870), British Columbia (1871), Prince Edward Island (1873), Alberta (1905) and Saskatchewan (1905) joined the Union. In 1949, Newfoundland and Labrador became the tenth province. 23. Under the Constitution Act, 1867, the federal government had a number of specific powers relating to the offshore: including the power to pass laws in relation to trade and commerce; 7 militia,militaryandnavalserviceanddefence;beacons,buoys,lighthousesandSableIsland; navigation and shipping; and sea coast and inland fisheries.9 24. Neither the territorial limits of the provinces in respect of the offshore nor interprovincial offshore boundaries were set out in the Constitution. 25. The ConstitutionAct, 1867didnotprovideforextendingorchangingprovincialboundaries. This was correctedby section3 ofthe ConstitutionAct, 1871underwhich Parliament could alter provincial boundaries with the consent of the legislaturesof the provinces affected.

Canada and the Middle East Today: Electoral Politics and Foreign Policy
CANADA AND THE MIDDLE EAST TODAY: ELECTORAL POLITICS AND FOREIGN POLICY Donald Barry Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper came to power in 2006 with little experience in foreign affairs but with a well developed plan to transform his minority Conservative administration into a majority government replacing the Liberals as Canada’s “natural governing party.”1 Because his party’s core of Anglo-Protestant supporters was not large enough to achieve this goal, Harper appealed to non- traditional Conservatives, including Jews, on the basis of shared social values. His efforts were matched by those of Jewish leaders and the government of Israel to win the backing of the government and its followers in the face of declining domestic support for Israel and the rise of militant Islamic fundamentalism. These factors accelerated a change in Canada’s Middle East policy that began under Prime Minister Paul Martin, from a carefully balanced stance to one that overwhelm- ingly favors Israel. Harper’s “pro-Israel politics,” Michelle Collins observes, has “won the respect—and support—of a large segment of Canada’s organized Jewish community.”2 However, it has isolated Canada from significant shifts in Middle East diplomacy and marginalized its ability to play a constructive role in the region. Harper and the Jewish Vote When he became leader of the Canadian Alliance party, which merged with the Progressive Conservatives to form the Conservative Party of Canada in 2004, Tom Flanagan says that Harper realized “The traditional Conservative base of Anglophone Protestants [was] too narrow to win modern Canadian elections.”3 In a speech to the conservative organization Civitas, in 2003, Harper argued that the only way to achieve power was to focus not on the tired wish list of economic conservatives or “neo-cons,” as they’d become known, but on what he called “theo-cons”—those social conservatives who care passionately about hot-button issues that turn on family, crime, and defense.

The Modern Senate of Canada: a Study in Functional Adaptability
The Modern Senate of Canada: A Study in Functional Adaptability THE HONOURABLE DAN HAYS SPEAKER OF THE SENATE The Modern Senate of Canada: A Study in Functional Adaptability. The Senate of Canada was a defining element, or “deal breaker,” in the negotiations that led to the creation of our country in 1867, since Confederation would not have been taken place without it.1 Indeed, as Senator Lowell Murray has said: “Quebec and the Maritimes insisted on an Upper House with equal representation from the three regions as a counterweight to Ontario’s numerical advantage in the House of Commons. The Fathers of Confederation wanted to create a further check on the executive and its elected Commons majority. They decided this would best be accomplished by an appointed Senate whose members had life tenure.”2 And since its creation in 1867, the Senate of Canada has evolved into a modern and efficient legislative body. Although it remains a rare example of an unelected second chamber, along with Great Britain’s House of Lords3, it has adapted to changing times through a variety of administrative reforms that have allowed it to better play its legislative role and represent the interests of all Canadians more effectively. And even if it has been the subject of 28 major reform proposals over the past 30 years4 – all of which have failed to produce the changes sought – it continues to make an important and valuable contribution to public debate, and remains a cornerstone of Canada’s system of government. The failure of these proposals is likely due to the absence of a broad consensus on precisely how to reform the Senate, and to the considerable difficulty of amending Canada’s constitution.
