House of Commons Debates VOLUME 147 Ï NUMBER 138 Ï 2nd SESSION Ï 41st PARLIAMENT OFFICIAL REPORT (HANSARD) Tuesday, November 4, 2014 Speaker: The Honourable Andrew Scheer CONTENTS (Table of Contents appears at back of this issue.) 9137 HOUSE OF COMMONS Tuesday, November 4, 2014 The House met at 10 a.m. The Speaker: I have not heard anything that would constitute a point of order, yet. The member for Winnipeg North was about 20 seconds into his speech. I know over the last few days, some of his colleagues have reminded him about the rules of relevance, and I Prayers have confidence that today he will do his best to speak to the subject matter of the sixth report. As the member for Burnaby—New Westminster has pointed out, the motion to concur stands in his ROUTINE PROCEEDINGS name as well, so I think that is something we can all point to as a sign of optimism. Ï (1005) [English] I will give the floor back to the hon. member for Winnipeg North.

Mr. Peter Julian: Mr. Speaker, on a point of order, this motion is actually in the name of the member for Winnipeg North.

If he has something to say actually moved concurrence on this particular report. Therefore, it on the motion for concurrence in the committee report, he should should not be a surprise.

Then I think the House's patience will not be further tested. The hon. member for Winnipeg North is now responding to the point of order. Mr. Kevin Lamoureux: Mr. Speaker, I think it is most Mr. Kevin Lamoureux: Mr. Speaker, I can assure members that I inappropriate for the NDP House leader to seem to want to disrupt am somewhat familiar with the report. One of the things we should my right to address the House on a wide variety of important issues, start off with is a letter that was provided to the committee chair. I and we have seen this over the last couple of days, know there are some nervous Nellies in the New Democratic fold, so I will cite some specifics coming from a letter that was addressed to I was maybe 30 seconds into my comments before he was up on the committee. It is on an important issue dealing with wills and his feet, eager to cause confusion among members of the House of estates, which is the name of the report itself, and I ask that members Commons. I would ask, with all due respect, that I be allowed to be patient because it is a somewhat lengthy letter, but it is something deliver my comments without interruption by the NDP House leader. that is important to share at this time. 9138 COMMONS DEBATES November 4, 2014 Routine Proceedings It is important to recognize that the Government of Canada would working with the many different strong personalities within our first like to thank the members of the standing committee, which is a nations and aboriginal communities. general acknowledgement, for its study on the report entitled “Wills and Estates”, tabled on May 30.

The government states, through the chair, that it is trying to build capacity and autonomy for first nations to improve well-being and Some hon. members: Oh, oh! provide first nations with self-determination, such as the expansion of the First Nations Land Management Act, the Yale First Nation Final Agreement Act, and the Sioux Valley Dakota Nation Mr. Kevin Lamoureux: The members laugh, Mr. Speaker.

If only they were to consult with the first nations, as we did communities. I think we are selling them short. The government is in opposition. I can assure members of the fine work that the first missing a real opportunity to make a very strong, tangible difference nations critic from the Liberal Party did in terms of consultation and in not working with the leadership and trying to build a consensus.

  • Entangling the Quebec Act

    Entangling the Quebec Act

    1 INTRODUCTION Entangling the Quebec Act Ollivier Hubert and François Furstenberg Although it features in many historical accounts, the Quebec Act too often remains on the sidelines. National narratives – which most often structure historical writing – highlight other foundational events instead. Quebec and Canadian history both make La Conquête a central turning point: the conquest of 1759–60, when New France fell, and landed (providentially or tragically, depending on one’s perspective) in the British Empire. In Native American history, the Royal Proclamation of 1763 stands as a milestone: indigenous resistance to British power resulting in the creation of a Native American territory off limits to European settlement, establishing land and treaty rights that would persist into the present. The United States, meanwhile, dates its foundation from 1776, the year when settler resistance to British power culminated in a Declaration of Independence and a war for nationhood. As for the British Empire, 1783 marks the date at which the first empire ended and the second began. Even the events of 1812 have recently joined the mix, now reframed as “the fight for Canada” waged by the nation’s three founding peoples, French, English, and Native American. In these and other narratives, the Quebec Act of 1774 plays a bit part – if it plays any at all.1 Thus does the Quebec Act fall through the scholarly cracks. (The last sustained analysis of the Act is now thirty years old.2) And yet today, more than ever, there are good reasons to question its marginality. Recent attempts to approach history from transnational perspectives offer an opportunity to reinterpret the Quebec Act across these and other historiographical boundaries.

    fjuh^^-^^ :t^^2^ Quebec A "Brief History of tlie Province SS=^Si< //?/</ Preface The object of this little booklet is to show why the French language is the NATIONAL language of Quebec Province. Also, why it is as much the OFFICIAL language of Canada as ENGLISH, both of which are printed side by side when reporting upon Government matters. A thorough understanding of this will help us to value the power of the French Press and Quebec Province as a commercial power and asset to the Dominion. If this is accomplished, the Author will be gratified. I am indebted to the Promotion and Editorial depart- ments of LA PRESSE of Montreal, also to the TORONTO TELEGRAM for some of the matter appearing herein. HENRY W. KING. Toronto, 1914. Brief Histcry of Quebec Long before the North American Continent was known to the British, the shores of Canada and Newfoundland were visited by the fishermen of France in search of new fishing grounds. These were the people who awakened the daring and adventurous of France to an interest in that part of North America now known as Canada. In 1534 Jacques Cartier planted the standard of Francis I of France upon the shores of New Brunswick, and a year later discovered the St. Lawrence River. His attempts at colonization were without success until the time of Samuel de Champlain, who established the city of Quebec and laid the foundation of the Empire of New France. For two centuries and a quarter, Arcadie (New Bruns- wick) and Canada were provinces of New France, but in 1759 passed to English Rule.
