Political Family Tree: Kinship in Canada’S Parliament Canadian eview V olume 41, No. 1 Political Family Tree: Kinship in Canada’s Parliament 2 CANADIAN PARLIAMENTARY REVIEW/SPRING 2017 The current Mace of the Nova Scotia House of Assembly has been in use since it was gifted to the House on March 5, 1930 by Chief Justice Robert Edward Harris, the fourteenth Chief Justice of the Province and his wife. It is silver gilt, measuring four feet in height and weighs approximately 18 pounds. The four sides of the Mace depict the Royal Crown, the Armorial Achievement of Nova Scotia, the present (before Confederation) Great Seal of the Province, and the Speaker in his robes of office. Also found on the Mace is the floral emblem of Nova Scotia, the mayflower and the Scottish thistle. The Mace was manufactured in England by Elkington and Company, Limited. The Chief Justice and Mrs. Harris wanted to remain anonymous donors of the Mace, but the Premier, in agreeing to this, requested that someday a suitable inscription be made on the Mace. Thus, in his will the Chief Justice directed his executors to have the Mace engraved with the following inscription and to pay the cost for the engraving out of his estate: “This mace was presented to the House of Assembly of the Province of Nova Scotia by the Hon. Robert E. Harris, Chief Justice of Nova Scotia, and Mrs. Harris, March 1930”. The Chief Justice passed away on May 30, 1931. Annette M.

Following this successful gathering of 24 delegates, a proposal to establish this group under the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association was accepted by the CPA’s executive committee for further review and discussion at the association’s upcoming meeting in Mauritius. Hon. Kevin S. Murphy, MLA or a democracy to adequately represent and serve its people, it stands to reason that the Felected officials within that democracy would need to be as diverse in background as the people they serve. When done correctly, this allows for the wide range of experiences and expertise found within a community to have a place at the table where policy is made, leading to the development of policy that better reflects the needs of the community. Through my experiences as a person with a disability, both as a private citizen and as an elected official, I have witnessed firsthand how a diverse government can have a significant impact not only on what policy is put forward, but on the procedures and practises of government itself, leading it to become more inclusive. The path forward for improving the representation and services for persons with disabilities is through their greater participation in our parliaments. It was with this goal in mind that I sought to organize the first conference for Commonwealth Parliamentarians with Disabilities (CPwD). Held in Halifax, Nova Scotia from August 30 to September 2, 2017, the conference served as an opportunity for persons with disabilities to share our experiences from across the different parliaments of the Commonwealth, establishing our common challenges and sharing what practises our members have found to be successful. Additionally, we Hon.

A two-body Legislature is known as a bicameral Legislature. PEI’s first Governor, Walter Patterson, was instructed to establish a House of Assembly in which representatives were popularly elected (unlike Council members, who were appointed). The combination of a Council and House was a requirement for the enactment of legislation under British law. Though Patterson became Governor in 1769, the first House of Assembly was not elected until 1773. Early sessions of the Assembly met in private homes and taverns. A Sergeant-at-Arms of the time commented that this made for a “damn queer parliament”. By 1825, the House of Assembly was working on establishing its rights and privileges, particularly in terms of self- regulation and authority.
