Over the past six months we have met with many people who graciously gave of their time, on our schedule, to share their expertise on this topic. We express our thanks to Steven R. Wolff and John Ross of the Nova Scotia Pension Agency, Gordon D. Hebb, Q.c., Chief legislative Counsel and Mel Bartlett, Partner, Morneau Shepell limited and the many people in his office who worked tirelessly on this project. We greatly appreciated the written submissions received from Nova Scotians and from former MlAs. Current and retired MlAs spoke with us candidly and privately of their experiences. This input helped guide us in our deliberations. We are of the view that MlAs have a unique and demanding job in today's Nova Scotia and as a result their retirement package must be reasonable, fair and transparent.

  • Ahead to the Past: the Return of the Delegated Leadership Convention
    Canadian Political Science Review 4(1) March 2010 Ahead to the Past: the Return of the Delegated Leadership Convention Ian Stewart and David K. Stewart (Acadia University, University of Calgary)* Abstract Since Confederation, the electorate responsible for the selection of Canadian political party leaders has progressively widened; by the end of the twentieth century, most parties were employing some variant of the universal ballot (thereby giving all party members a voice in leadership selection). Nevertheless, the 42 person executive of the Nova Scotia Progressive Conservatives rolled back this democratic tide by organizing a delegated convention to replace departing leader John Hamm. The Conservatives justified their decision by claiming that such a convention would be the most fair, the most equal, and the most exciting way to select their new leader. This article demonstrates, however, that these claims are difficult to substantiate. There was much drama on voting day, but the Conservatives were, in fact, very fortunate in that respect. Equality between constituencies was heightened, but only at the cost of introducing a substantial inequality between individual party members. As to fairness, it seemed entirely irrelevant to the proceedings. Ultimately, not even a majority of delegates approved of the change in process. Even in “counter-revolutionary” Canada, democratizing claims are difficult to resist. Since Confederation, changes in the federal franchise have widened the pool of Canadian citizens able to participate in the electoral process by eliminating restrictions based on class, gender, and race. Once members of a social group have become eligible voters their subsequent disenfranchisement has rarely been contemplated and never achieved.
