The following report taken from the Montreal Gazette of J uly ~nd , 1895, ha s been adopted for th e purpose; and in ord er that th e memory of Sir Geo. Carticr, K. C. :M. G., so long the colleag ue and personal friend of Sir J ohn Macdonald, may be on this occasion, as so often during life, conn ected with that of hi s distingui shed colleag ue, it has been considered proper th at th ere should be app ended to this report, the speech de­ livered by Sir J ohn Macdonald on th e occasion of the unveiling of th e statue of Sir Geo.

OTTAWA, J uly l.-The distinctive feat ure of Dominion day celebration here was the unveiling of the statue of Sir J ohn Macdonald, erected by the people of Canada in loving memo ry of the great statesman, to whom more than to any other one man the Dominion owes its existence. The day was perfect, the attendance large, fully five thousand persons being on the grounds, and the ceremony passed oft' without the slightest hitch or flaw to mar it. The platform, erected at the south­ east corner of the Senate, exactly opposite the monument, was comfortably filled, but not overcrowded, as is so frequently the case at such ceremonies, and every window in the Senate wing and Eastern block, from which a view of the monument could be obtained was occupied. On the platform were nearly all the senators and members who had not taken advantage of the parliamentary holiday to run home, amongst them being Sir Mackenzie Bowcll, Sir A. P. Caron, Hon. John Costigan, Hon. T. Mayne Daly, Hon. Geo. E. Fo"ter, Hon. Dr. Montague, Hon. A. R. Angers, HOIl. A. R. Dickey, Speakers Hoss, of the Senate, and White, of the Commons, Senators McRay, Read, Olemow , and others. Amongst the members of Parliament present were Messrs. Tay lor, 'I'isdale, Prior, Mills (Annapolis), Cochrane, Robillard, Cargill, Sir James Grant, etc. ; Hon. 'vVm. McDougall, Chief J ustice Sir Henry Strong, Archdeacon 6 U.\TEI LLYO OF THE JIOXUJIEXT Lauder, R ev. Mr. Bogart, Rev. Mr. Snowdon, R ev. ,V. ,V. Carson, of Detroit. Three provinces, Ontario, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island, were represented by their lieuten­ ant-governors, Messrs. Kirkpatrick, Daly and IIowlan. Shortly before twelv e the military, consisting of the local corps and the Roy al Scots, marched into the g rounds and took up a position on the lawn in front of the b uildings, forming th ree sides of a squa re: and as the midday g un announced the hour of noon, the Ottawa F ield Battery, whi ch was stationed to the east of the Eastern block, fired the customary salute of twenty-one guns. This is the first time that a Dominion da y salute has been fired from P arliament hill, the salute being usually fired from N epean point. The troops in line t he n gave three hearty cheers and the hand played "God Save the Queen." LO RD ABERDEEN'S TELE GRA~I. SIR MACKENZIE BOWELL, wh o was warmly received on coming forwa rd to address the gathe ring, said :-- I regret exceedingly the unav oidabl e absence ofRis Excellency as the representative of the Crown up on this memorable occasion, for the reason given in the followin g tel egram :- Q UE nJW, .I uue :~ O, ISO:;.

(Cheers). TO SIR JOHN,A. lIfACDONALD 7 SIR .TOHN MACDONALD'S LOYALTY. The Premier continued :-If there was one characteristic of Sir John Macdonald more marked than all the others it may fairly be said to have been his loyal devotion to the Crown and his constant care for the interests of the British Empire. And if that loyalty was so marked and so produc­ tive of good for the Empire, it was in return loyally recog­ nized. The honours which, towards the close of his active life, were showered upon Sir John Macdonald by the Queen, by learned bodies, and by his own country, were splendid rewards for splendid service. (Oheers.) I n the letter which Her Majesty wrote to Lady Macdonald on July 2nd, 1891, the Queen said :-"I wish also to say how truly and sincerely grateful I am for his devoted and faithful services which he reudered for so many years to his sovereign and the Duminion." Her Majesty has seen many great men come and go, in her service, during the last half century; but we may fairly claim that among them all, no man contributed more to strengthen the arm of Great Britain or to increase respect for British in­ stitutions and traditions than did Sir John Macdonald. When the bust of Sir John Macdonald was placed in the crypt of St. Paul's, in London, where the sun may be seen shining upon it always on a fine morning, Lord Rosebery, in the course of a speech which I hope will never be forgotten in this country, said :-"W e are gradually collecting within this cathedral the household gods of our commonwealth. Up above, there sleep Wellington and Nelson, those lords of war who preserved the Empire; below, we have the effigies of Daly and Macdonald who did so much to extend it. We have not indeed their bodies. These rest more fitly in the regions were they lived and laboured ; but here to-day we con­ secrate their memory and their example. We k now nothing of party politics in Canada on this occasion. We recognize only t his, that Sir John Macdonald had grasped the central 8 [J },T E ILl xa OP THE MOX[.J.l1IEXT id ea that the British Empire is the greatest secular agenc}' for good now known to mankind; tha t that was the secret of hi s success ; that he determined to die under it, and strove that Canada should live under it." (Applause.) ,Ve are here to-day for a like purpose and in a like manner. No one has embalmed th e memory of Sir J ohn Macdouald in nobler language than th e present lead er of the Opposition, whose address in 1891, when referring to th e loss wh ich Canada had sustained in hi s death, will not soon be forgotten. I regret sincerely his engagements which have prevented his presence on thi s occasion; but his absence, I venture to say, does not depri ve us of his sympathy. \Ve all recogni ze the fact that th e labou rs of the dead man were labours for our common country, and that the honours whi ch he wore were honours paid to our comm on public service-to that service in whi ch, with different policies, we who are in public life have devoted ourselve s. The generation is now growing old which is in a condition to bea r personal testimony to the labours and anxieties of those who fram ed the constit ution and institutions of the Dominion of Canada.

    From DeMt to Donutiorc The ~a&nul~rchives' Acquisitions Strategy for Papers of Cabinet Ministers by CARMAN V. CARROLL* Four newspaper headlines, in the aftermath of the 1979 and 1980 federal general elections, provide rather interesting contrasts in attitudes to cabinet ministers' papers and archival collecting. On the one hand, two of the headlines read, "BONANZA FOR THE ARCHIVES7'' and "EX-MINISTERS HAVE A FRIEND AT THE ARCHIVES,"* whereas two others read, "DOCUMENTS FOUND IN DUMP JUST DUPLICATES, CULLEN SAYSw3and "LIBERALS CREATE PAPER MONSTER."4 To some the flood of parliamentarians' papers received by the National Archives of Canada (NA) at federal election times is indeed a bonanza; to others it is akin to the paper monster. My own view is that the truth lies somewhere in the middle, leaning slightly towards the bonanza, although there were times, usually very late at night during that first hectic week of collecting after an election, when the paper monster analogy seemed closer to the truth. The purpose of this paper is to review the National Archives of Canada's involve- ment - more specifically the Manuscript Division's involvement - in the acquisition of ministerial records and papers over the past thirty years with particular attention to the deposit or security storage programme as an acquisitions tool. It will trace the deposit programme from its inception in 1957, touch on its strengths and weaknesses, and offer comments on future directions. The paper also briefly reviews changes in federal records management regulations, policies, and several pieces of legislation which have had an effect on collecting ministerial private papers5 For those not familiar with the internal organization of the NA a word of explanation is in order.

  • Upper Legislative Houses in North Atlantic Small Powers 1800–Present Edited by Nikolaj Bijleveld, Colin Grittner, David E
    Reforming Senates This new study of senates in small powers across the North Atlantic shows that the establishment and the reform of these upper legislative houses have followed remarkably parallel trajectories. Senate reforms emerged in the wake of deep political crises within the North Atlantic world and were influenced by the comparatively weak positions of small powers. Reformers responded to crises and constantly looked beyond borders and oceans for inspiration to keep their senates relevant. Nikolaj Bijleveld, historian, is a staff member at the University of Groningen. Colin Grittner teaches Canadian history in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, and has held postdoctoral fellowships at the University of British Columbia and the University of New Brunswick. David E. Smith is a former president of the Canadian Political Science Association and the author of a number of books on the Canadian Parliament and Canadian federalism.

  • Rediscovering Constitutional Law: Succession Upon the Death of the Prime Minister
    REDISCOVERING CONSTITUTIONAL LAW: SUCCESSION UPON THE DEATH OF THE PRIME MINISTER Adam M. Dodek* Introduction Canadian legal academics have become mesmerized by the seductive dance of the Charter. Before the Charter■'s enactment in 1982, Canadian constitutional law was a rather arcane subject consisting almost solely of division of powers questions. Perhaps not surprisingly, the pronouncements of esteemed members of the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council on such exhilarating subjects as grain and margarine failed to capture the hearts and minds of generations of law students or legal academics. As the Bill of Rights proved to be no more than a cruel tease, it took the Charter to make constitutional law respectable, indeed popular, in the legal academy. However, in its excitement to embrace “the new Constitution”, the legal academy has almost wholly abandoned entire areas of constitutional law. Constitutional law consists of more than the coupling of traditional issues of federalism and the newfound infatuation with the Charter. Dicey defined constitutional law as including “all rules which directly or indirectly affect the distribution or the exercise of the Sovereign power in the State.”1 This definition of constitutional law has not shrunk over the years. Peter Hogg defines the subject as “the law prescribing the exercise of power by the organs of a State.”2 Yet like long- lost relatives, whole areas of constitutional law have been forgotten by the current *B.A. (McGill); J.D. (Harvard); S.J.D. Candidate (Toronto). I am most grateful to John Courtney, Judy Dodek, Nicole Goldstone, Richard Goldstone, Henry Molot and Pippa Reybum for reading earlier drafts of this article and providing helpful comments.
