  • Hansard: March 03, 1964
    LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY OF SASKATCHEWAN SIXTH SESSION – FOURTEENTH LEGISLATURE 19th Day Tuesday, March 3rd, 1964 The Assembly met at 2:30 o’clock p.m. On the Orders of the Day WELCOME TO STUDENTS Mr. Arthur Thibault (Kinistino): — Mr. Speaker, before the Orders of the Day, I would like to introduce a fine group of students in the Speaker’s gallery. They are from Kinistino and are accompanied by their teacher, Mr. Richert, bus driver, Mr. Bridor and I know the house will join with me in wishing them a very pleasant trip her and I hope it will be an informative and a profitable one. Some Hon. Members: — HEAR! HEAR! Hon. O.A. Turnbull (Minister of Education): — Mr. Speaker, I would like to bring to the attention of the house a group of students in the Speaker’s gallery, led by Mr. W.A. Ross, their teacher. This is a group that will have particular interest perhaps to the assembly, in that they are two classes representing a total of four classes that exist in the city and are listed as a vocational up-grading group. The ages of this group are between 18 and 40, they represent an unemployed group. I think it is commendable that they have availed themselves of their opportunities to take this line of training, which is in the math., sciences, English, record keeping, for a three month course and I hope that their stay here is profitable and informative. Some Hon. Members: — HEAR! HEAR! Mrs. Gladys Strum (Saskatoon City): — Before the Orders of the Day are called, I would like to bring to the attention of the house two groups of students in the west gallery from King George School, 35 students under Mrs.

    The Saskatchewan Institute of Public Policy Public Policy Paper Series The Death of Deference: National Policy-Making in the Aftermath of the Meech Lake and Charlottetown Accords by Ian Peach September,2004 Public Policy Paper 26 $5.00; ISBN# 0-7731-0493-3 SIPP www.uregina.ca/sipp The Death of Deference: National Policy-Making in the Aftermath of the Meech Lake and Charlottetown Accords SIPP Public Policy Paper No. 26 September 2004 Ian Peach* Saskatchewan Institute of Public Policy Senior Fellow ISBN# 0-7731-0493-3 ISSN# 1702-7802 * This paper is based on presentations given at conferences in Regina and Edinburgh. The author would like to thank all of the staff and Fellows at the Saskatchewan Institute of Public Policy and Tom McIntosh for their helpful comments on earlier drafts of the presentations and the paper, and Ross Macnab of the Constitutional Law Branch of the Saskatchewan Department of Justice for kindly tracking down difficult-to-find case citations. Any errors or omissions that remain are strictly those of the author. It has been suggested that there has been a decline in Canadians’ traditional deference to elites in recent decades, and that the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms (the Charter) is either a reflection of the decline in deference or a cause of it.1 Deference, however, seems not merely in decline; it is not “pining for the fjords”, as Monty Python would put it, but is “pushing up the daisies”. It is dead; it was a lingering death, one which lasted between June 1987 and June 1990, and the deathbed was the Meech Lake Accord.

  • Part A. Canadian Experience in Constitutional
    Public Policy and Aboriginal Peoples 1965-1992 € Aboriginal Peoples and Constitutional Reform By Peter Russell and Roger .Iones i\'lareh. jl)C)) RCAPNOTES INTRODUCTION The Terms of Reference of the Royal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples clearly contemplates the intervention of the Commission on matters of constitutional reform concerning aboriginal matters. In this regard we were invited to prepare a research paper on the desirability and nature of future aboriginal constitutional reform efforts. In accepting the invitation and embarking on the project, we understood that the primary focus of our work would be on matters of process rather than on the content of constitutional amendments. We did our best to conduct a broad interview process including participants of the Charlottetown Accord process, the leaders of national aboriginal organizations, leaders of various provincial and/or regional aboriginal organizations, representatives from aboriginal communities, aboriginal advisors, federal and provincial government ministers and senior public servants. We believe that the interview process and the project overall was aided by the fact that we assured all interviewees that anonymity would be maintained. Some of the interviewees were quick to advise that their responses and views expressed during the interviews did not necessarily reflect the views of the governments or organizations with which they were associated. Rather, there was a common understanding that it was the personal experience of the participants that informed their responses and views. We would like to express our gratitude to the Royal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples for the opportunity to work on a project of this nature. We would also like to express our gratitude to the participants that kindly gave of their time to participate in the interview process despite the reality of constitutional fatigue and the significant period of time that had elapsed since the last round of constitutional meetings.

  • Women As Executive Leaders: Canada in the Context of Anglo-Almerican Systems*
    Women as Executive Leaders: Canada in the Context of Anglo-Almerican Systems* Patricia Lee Sykes American University Washington DC [email protected] *Not for citation without permission of the author. Paper prepared for delivery at the Canadian Political Science Association Annual Conference and the Congress of the Humanities and Social Sciences, Concordia University, Montreal, June 1-3, 2010. Abstract This research identifies the obstacles and opportunities women as executives encounter and explores when, why, and how they might engender change by advancing the interests and enhancing the status of women as a group. Various positions of executive leadership provide a range of opportunities to investigate and analyze the experiences of women – as prime ministers and party leaders, cabinet ministers, governors/premiers/first ministers, and in modern (non-monarchical) ceremonial posts. Comparative analysis indicates that the institutions, ideology, and evolution of Anglo- American democracies tend to put women as executive leaders at a distinct disadvantage. Placing Canada in this context reveals that its female executives face the same challenges as women in other Anglo countries, while Canadian women also encounter additional obstacles that make their environment even more challenging. Sources include parliamentary records, government documents, public opinion polls, news reports, leaders’ memoirs and diaries, and extensive elite interviews. This research identifies the obstacles and opportunities women as executives encounter and explores when, why, and how they might engender change by advancing the interests and enhancing the status of women. Comparative analysis indicates that the institutions, ideology, and evolution of Anglo-American democracies tend to put women as executive leaders at a distinct disadvantage.
