    Foreign Policy White Papers and the Role of Canada’s Parliament: Paradoxical But Not Without Potential Gerald J. Schmitz Principal analyst, international affairs Parliamentary Information and Research Service Library of Parliament, Ottawa Annual Meeting of the Canadian Political Science Association University of Western Ontario, London Panel on “International and Defence Policy Review” 3 June 2005 Note: This paper developed out of remarks to a conference in Quebec City in May 2004 on the subject of white-paper foreign policy management processes, and is a pre- publication draft of an article for the fall 2005 issue of Études internationales. The views expressed are the author’s alone. Please do not cite without permission. Introduction to the Paradoxical Actor on the Hill The observations that follow draw on several decades of direct experience working with that paradoxical, and sometimes overlooked, actor in the foreign policy development process, namely Canada’s Parliament. During that time concerns about the alleged weaknesses of parliamentary oversight of the executive have become a commonplace complaint. They seem also to be a staple assumption in the academic discourse on Canadian foreign policy, when the legislative role merits any mention at all. (Frequently it does not.) Yet if one believes the renewed rhetoric emanating from high places about redressing “democratic deficits” in the Canadian body politic, this was all supposed to change. At the end of 2003, a new prime minister ushering in a new management regime, or at least a different style of governing, said that he and his government were committed to changing the way things work in Ottawa.

  • Ministerial Staff: the Life and Times of Parliament’S Statutory Orphans
    MINISTERIAL STAFF: THE LIFE AND TIMES OF PARLIAMENT’S STATUTORY ORPHANS Liane E. Benoit Acknowledgements Much of the primary research in support of this paper was gathered through interviews with more than twenty former and current public servants, lobbyists, and ex-exempt staff. I am sincerely grateful to each of them for their time, their candour and their willingness to share with me the benefit of their experience and insights on this important subject. I would also like to acknowledge the generous assistance of Cathi Corbett,Chief Librarian at the Canada School of Public Service,without whose expertise my searching and sleuthing would have proven far more challenging. 145 146 VOLUME 1: PARLIAMENT,MINISTERS AND DEPUTY MINISTERS And lastly, my sincere thanks to C.E.S Franks, Professor Emeritus of the Department of Political Studies at Queen’s University, for his guidance and support throughout the development of this paper and his faith that, indeed, I would someday complete it. 1 Where to Start 1.1 Introduction Of the many footfalls heard echoing through Ottawa’s corridors of power, those that often hit hardest but bear the least scrutiny belong to an elite group of young, ambitious and politically loyal operatives hired to support and advise the Ministers of the Crown. Collectively known as “exempt staff,”1 recent investigations by the Public Accounts Committee and the Commission of Inquiry into the Sponsorship Program and Advertising Activities,hereafter referred to as the “Sponsorship Inquiry”, suggest that this group of ministerial advisors can, and often do, exert a substantial degree of influence on the development,and in some cases, administration, of public policy in Canada.

  • 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.

  • Government Mismanagement: Minister Besieged
    Contents Government Mismanagement: Minister Besieged An audit of the federal job-creation grant program reveals what has been described at best as sloppy bookkeeping. As the current Minister for the Department of Human Resources, Jane Stewart must defend not only her own political reputation but that of the entire Liberal government. This story reveals how ministers of the Crown become especially accountable to the general public, the media, and opposition forces whether or not they personally are responsible for perceived errors or mismanagement. This aspect of political noblesse oblige and the parliamentary tradition of not holding a minister responsible for policy and practices once he or she has left a particular portfolio highlight the degree of responsibility that elected government officials must assume in order that the integrity of the democratic process be protected.
