  • Translating the Constitution Act, 1867
    TRANSLATING THE CONSTITUTION ACT, 1867 A Legal-Historical Perspective by HUGO YVON DENIS CHOQUETTE A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Law in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Master of Laws Queen’s University Kingston, Ontario, Canada September 2009 Copyright © Hugo Yvon Denis Choquette, 2009 Abstract Twenty-seven years after the adoption of the Constitution Act, 1982, the Constitution of Canada is still not officially bilingual in its entirety. A new translation of the unilingual Eng- lish texts was presented to the federal government by the Minister of Justice nearly twenty years ago, in 1990. These new French versions are the fruits of the labour of the French Constitutional Drafting Committee, which had been entrusted by the Minister with the translation of the texts listed in the Schedule to the Constitution Act, 1982 which are official in English only. These versions were never formally adopted. Among these new translations is that of the founding text of the Canadian federation, the Constitution Act, 1867. A look at this translation shows that the Committee chose to de- part from the textual tradition represented by the previous French versions of this text. In- deed, the Committee largely privileged the drafting of a text with a modern, clear, and con- cise style over faithfulness to the previous translations or even to the source text. This translation choice has important consequences. The text produced by the Commit- tee is open to two criticisms which a greater respect for the prior versions could have avoided. First, the new French text cannot claim the historical legitimacy of the English text, given their all-too-dissimilar origins.

  • AC Buchanan and the Megantic Experiment
    A. C. Buchanan and the Megantic Experiment: Promoting British Colonization in Lower Canada J. I. LITTLE* Between 1829 and 1832 a British settler colony was established on the northern fringe of Lower Canada’s Eastern Townships, in what became known as Megantic county. The main aim of the chief instigator and manager of the project, “emigrant” agent A. C. Buchanan, was to demonstrate the viability of state-assisted “pauper” colonization, as long advocated by Colonial Under- Secretary Robert Wilmot-Horton. Buchanan’s project was successful insofar as he convinced over 5,300 immigrants, the majority of whom were Irish Protestants, to follow the Craig and Gosford roads to the uninhabited northern foothills of the Appalachians. But the British government failed to apply this “experiment” elsewhere in Lower or Upper Canada, and the British settler community did not expand far beyond the townships of Leeds, Inverness, and Ireland because of their isolation from external markets. Instead, French-Canadian settlers moved into the surrounding townships, with the result that the British-origin population became a culturally isolated island of interrelated families that slowly disappeared due to out-migration. De 1829 à 1832, une colonie de peuplement britannique a vu le jour au Bas- Canada, en périphérie nord des cantons de l’Est, dans ce qui deviendra le comté de Mégantic. L’instigateur et chef du projet, l’agent d’émigration A. C. Buchanan, avait pour objectif premier de prouver la viabilité, avec le soutien de l’État, de la colonisation par les « pauvres » que préconisait depuis longtemps le sous- secrétaire aux Colonies Robert Wilmot-Horton.

    CHANGES IN THE SOCIETY AND TERRITORY OF QUEBEC 1745-1820 TEACHER’S GUIDE Geography, History and Citizenship Education Elementary Cycle 3, Year 1 http://occupations.phillipmartin.info/occupations_teacher3.htm Canjita Gomes DEEN LES Resource Bank Project 2013-2014 1 Released under a CC BY-NC-SA 3.0 licence http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/3.0/ Clip art by Philip Martin is under CC BY-NC-ND 3.0 licence. http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/ IMPORTANT POINTS TO CONSIDER 1. This Learning and Evaluation Situation should only be considered after the period of Canadian society in New France around 1745 has been taught and evaluated. This is because this LES demands a certain amount of prior historical knowledge of this period. 2. The LES emphasizes Competency 2 by the very nature of its title, although the other two competencies are also present. 3. The heading of each unit consists of one or two guiding questions. The students are expected to answer these guiding questions after scaffolding has been done through a series of activities that continuously increase in difficulty and sophistication as they unfold. These guiding questions embrace the whole concept under discussion, so view them as complex tasks. 4. The evaluation tools are found at the end of this Teacher’s Guide. They are to be used at the teacher’s discretion. 5. The bibliography is unfortunately limited to everyday life during the periods in question. English works on societal change between 1745 and 1820 are nonexistent.

It locates these constitutional foundations in the text of key constitutional documents and in the history and the traditions of the courts in Canada. It compares the features of the Canadian Constitution that provide the foundation for the conflict of laws with comparable features in the constitutions of other federal and regional systems, particularly of the Constitutions of the United States and of Australia. This comparison highlights the distinctive Canadian approach to judicial authority-one that is the product of an asymmetrical system of government in which the source of political authority is the Constitution Act and in which the source of judicial authority is the continuing local tradition of private law adjudication.

  • Understanding Canadian Bicameralism: Past, Present and Future
    1 Understanding Canadian Bicameralism: Past, Present and Future Presented at the 2018 Annual Conference of the Canadian Political Science Association Gary William O’Brien, Ph.D. June, 2018 Not be cited until a final version is uploaded 2 Studies of the Senate of Canada’s institutional design as well as the proposals for its reform have often focused on the method of selection, distribution of seats and powers.1 Another methodology is the use of classification models of bicameral second chambers which also explore power and representation dimensions but in a broader constitutional and political context. Although such models have been employed to study Canada’s upper house in a comparative way,2 they have not been used extensively to understand the origins of the Senate’s underlying structure or to analyze reform proposals for their impact on its present multi-purposed roles. This paper proposes to give a brief description of the models which characterize pre- and post-Confederation second chambers. Given that many of the legal and procedural provisions concerning Canada’s current upper house can be traced back to the Constitutional Act, 1791 and the Act of Union, 1840, it will place Canadian bicameralism within its historical context. The Senate’s “architecture”, “essential characteristics” and “fundamental nature”, terms used in the 1980 and 2014 Supreme Court opinions but with no link to pre- Confederation antecedents, cannot be understood without references to Canadian parliamentary history. Finally, it will provide some observations on the nature of Canadian bicameralism and will conceptualize various reform proposals in terms of classification models.
