  • Indigenous People and Parliament P. 24 Moving Forward Together
    Canadian eview V olume 39, No. 2 Moving Forward Together: Indigenous People and Parliament p. 24 The Mace currently in use in the Legislative Assembly of Saskatchewan was made in 1906 and used for the first time in March of that year at the opening of the First Session of the First Legislative Assembly. Purchased from Ryrie Bros. Ltd. of Toronto at a cost of $340.00, it is made of heavy gold-plated brass and is about four feet long. The head consists of a Royal Crown with the arches surmounted by a Maltese cross and bears the Royal Coat-of-Arms on the top indicating the Royal Authority. Each side is decorated with a sheaf of wheat, representing the province’s agricultural wealth, a beaver representing Canada and the monogram E.R. VII, representing the sovereign at the time, Edward VII. The shaft and base are ornamented with a shamrock, thistle and rose intertwined. A Latin inscription around the Royal Coat of Arms reads in English, “Edward the Seventh, by the Grace of God of British Isles and Lands beyond the sea which are under British rule, King, Defender of the Faith, Emperor of India”. Monique Lovett Manager of Interparliamentary Relations and Protocol Legislative Assembly of Saskatchewan Courtesy of British Columbia Legislative Library Stick Talking BC Legislature, The Canadian Parliamentary Review was founded in 1978 to inform Canadian legislators about activities of the federal, provincial and territorial branches of the Canadian Region of the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association and to promote the study of and interest in Canadian parliamentary institutions.

  • 200 Anniversary of the Ontario Legislative Library P. 28 200
    Canadian eview V olume 39, No. 3 th 200 Anniversary of the Ontario Legislative Library p. 28 2 CANADIAN PARLIAMENTARY REVIEW/FALL 2016 Manitoba’s original Mace was carved out of the hub of a Red River cart wheel by a soldier with the Wolseley Expedition Force (sent out to deal with the Riel Rebellion in 1869). This Mace was used for a period of 13 years between March 15, 1871 and March 12, 1884. In December 1873, when a fire destroyed the first home of the Legislature, the Mace was the only object to survive the flames. It remains on display in the Speaker’s office to this day. Manitoba’s current gold-plated Mace debuted in 1884. Standing five feet tall and weighing 28 pounds, it repeats themes found on the original Mace. The head of the current Mace displays four emblems: the Rose, the Thistle, the Harp, and the Fleur-de-lis. These same emblems are found engraved on the staff of the Mace, with the exception of an Irish Shamrock replacing the Harp. On the top, a crown symbolizes the Monarch, while four beavers represent the province’s place as part of Canada. Finally, an orb and a cross represent the spiritual and religious aspects of Manitoba life. This Mace was made to celebrate the opening of the second Legislative building. The initials V.R., representing the reigning Monarch Queen Victoria, are engraved on its head. The Table Officers have a tradition of rubbing various symbols on the Mace with their robe sleeves while waiting for the Speaker’s Parade to start, in order to summon good luck for the sitting day.

    The Honourable Brian Pallister The Honourable Ron Schuler Premier of Manitoba Minister of Infrastructure 204 Legislative Building 203 Legislative Building 450 Broadway 450 Broadway Winnipeg, MB R3C 0V8 Winnipeg, MB R3C 0V8 [email protected] [email protected] Dear Premier Pallister and Minister Schuler, I am writing to you concerning the recent announcement by Greyhound that it would cease providing passenger service in Manitoba and most of western Canada October 31, 2018. The loss of this important service will cause hardship for many of our citizens, particularly the most vulnerable Manitobans, and hence it is the responsibility of political leaders to take action. Intercity mass transportation is an absolutely essential vital service for many Manitobans, particularly for: ● those that rely on Greyhound for transportation to employment or medical appointments, ● senior citizens who may no longer drive, ● children who are below the legal driving age and may rely on Greyhound to visit family and friends, ● those that cannot afford a vehicle, and ● those that choose to take mass transportation for environmental or other reasons to name but a few examples. We need to recognize that intercity mass transportation services, are in fact an integral and vital part of our road infrastructure. Encouraging more mass transportation reduces the number of vehicles on the road, which reduces the risks of collisions, reduces wear and tear on roads, and reduces greenhouse gas emissions. I was therefore disappointed by recent remarks attributed to the Honourable Ron Schuler, to the effect that he “hoped” companies would come forward with business plans to fill the gap left by Greyhound.

    Green Party of Manitoba PO Box 26023 RPO Maryland Winnipeg MB R3G 3R3 January, 28, 2021 Hon. Sarah Guillemard Minister of Conservation and Climate Room 344 Legislative Building 450 Broadway Avenue Winnipeg, Manitoba R3C 0V8 Email: [email protected] -delivered via email- RE: Manitoba Hydro’s Application for a Final License for the Augmented Flow Program for the Churchill River Diversion/Missi Falls Dam - Application for Final License The Water Power Act Please accept this letter as an official comment on the final licence decision for the Churchill River Diversion (CRD) project, and place it in the public registry under The Water Power Act. We note that the process for issuing renewal or termination of the final license in accordance with section 46 of the Water Power Regulation has not started because the CRD still operates on an interim license nearly fifty years later. We also note the situation is also very similar for Lake Winnipeg Regulation (LWR). Although, we are generally focussing these comments on the CRD, frankly, you really cannot talk about the one project without the other as the two projects are fundamentally linked together. In fact the only proper analysis is to look holistically at the entire watershed and the entire hydroelectric system together. Not taking such a holistic systems approach does a disservice to all Manitobans. In 1973 Manitoba Hydro was granted an interim license under The Water Power Act to operate the CRD. The CRD diverts most of the water from the Churchill River into the Rat River–Burntwood River–Nelson River system.
