Four years of work on this project has produced a superb product. The author, who is a retired lawyer, is well qualified to write this book. Redway was a member of the East York council from 1972- 82, that borough’s mayor from 1977-82 (dur- ing this period also a metro councillor and a member of its executive committee), then for almost ten years an MP, who laterally served as Minister of State (Housing) in the Mul- roney federal government. For both non-To- ronto and Toronto residents, Redway’s book provides an invaluable background to, and a history of, how the current amalgamated City of Toronto came to be. In addition, the author uses his intimate knowledge of municipal politics to explain how and why this happened and, importantly, provides Toronto area changed dramatically as pros- personal insight about manoeuvrings which perity returned.

  • Ministerial Error and the Political Process: Is There a Duty to Resign? Stuart James Whitley
    Ministerial Error and the Political Process: Is there a Duty to Resign? Stuart James Whitley, QC* In practice, it is seldom very hard to do one’s duty when one knows what it is. But it is sometimes exceedingly difficult to find this out. - Samuel Butler (1912) “First Principles” Note Books The honourable leader is engaged continuously in the searching of his (sic) duty. Because he is practicing the most powerful and most dangerous of the arts affecting, however humbly, the quality of life and the human search for meaning, he ought to have – if honourable, he has to have – an obsession with duty. What are his responsibilities? -Christopher Hodgkinson (1983) The Philosophy of Leadership Abstract: This article examines the nature of the duty to resign for error in the ministerial function. It examines the question of resignation as a democratic safeguard and a reflection of a sense of honour among those who govern. It concludes that there is a duty to resign for misleading Parliament, for serious personal misbehaviour, for a breach of collective responsibility, for serious mismanagement of the department for which they are responsible, and for violations of the rule of law. The obligation is owed generally to Parliament, and specifically to the Prime Minister, who has the constitutional authority in any event to dismiss a minister. The nature of the obligation is a constitutional convention, which can only be enforced by political action, though a breach of the rule of law is reviewable in the courts and may effectively disable a minister. There appears to be uneven historical support for the notion that ministerial responsibility includes the duty to resign for the errors of officials except in very narrow circumstances.

  • How Do Governments Decide When Ministers Must Resign?
    GOVERNMENT DECISION-MAKING AND MINISTERIAL RESIGNATIONS DEBUNKING DECISION-MAKING: HOW DO GOVERNMENTS DECIDE WHEN MINSTERS MUST RESIGN? By: ROBERTO P. LEONE, B.A., M.A. A Thesis Submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy McMaster University © Copyright Roberto P. Leone, April 2009 DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY (2009) McMaster University (Political Science) Hamilton, Ontario TITLE: Debunking Decision-Making: How do governments decide when ministers must resign? AUTHOR: Roberto P. Leone, B.A. (McMaster University) M.A. (University of Guelph) SUPERVISOR: Barbara Wake Carroll NUMBER OF PAGES: x,246 11 ABSTRACT Commentators of parliamentary democracy in Britain and Canada tend to agree that parliament is an old institution that is in desperate need of renewal. Contrary to this perspective, there are those who believe that parliament is an evolving institution which has been susceptible to change over time. Given the disagreement posed above, there is a need to develop a method to measure which side has it right. This dissertation seeks to establish such a method. By using organization theory to explain organizational change, this research will establish both the rationale for why insti.tutions change and the decisions that led to that change. Change is defined as the difference between present organizational configuration from the original. If there is a difference, then change is present. To understand the original configuration of parliamentary institutions, the dissertation looks at "foundational principles" to parliamentary democracy. Of these foundational principles, the doctrine of ministerial responsibility is the one analyzed here. In analyzing government decisions that lead to ministerial resignations, this dissertation builds a decision-making matrix that will compare organizational theories of decision-making and analyze the level of rationality applied when governments decide to require a resignation from one of its members.

Last year's report coincided with the fifth anniversary of the framework established in 1984 for the control and accountability of Crown corporations. My predecessor noted at that time that considerable progress had been made towards effective management of the Government's portfolio of Crown corporations. This view was subsequently supported by the Auditor General in a chapter in his October 1989 report to the House of Commons devoted to an assessment of the implementation of the framework.
