EDITED BY J- GBMMILL, Barrister-at-Law. ESTABLISHED, 1862. OTTAWA: CT. DTJBIE & SOU 1883. TLs DH- /«3 Entered according to the Act of Parliament, in the year thousand eight hundred aud eighty-three, by J. A. GEMMILL, In the Office of the Minister of Agriculture, at Ottawa. MONTREAL: PRINTED BY THE GAZETTE PRINTING COMPANY. III. PREFACE. The copyright of The Canadian Parliamentary Com¬ panion having been purchased from Mr. C. H. Mackintosh, M. P., the new edition is now issued under the editorship of the present proprietor. The Companion, established as long ago as 1862 by Mr. Henry J. Morgan, has attained a high character as an accurate and trustworthy record of the matters and things coming within its scope. It is now regarded as one of the indispensable adjuncts of Parliament, and no Library, public or private, can be said to be complete without it. It will be the aim of the new proprietor to en¬ deavor to sustain the high character of The Companion which long years of patient labor on the part of its founder and its subsequent proprietor had achieved for the book—and if possible to add to and improve it. The present edition, owing to the recent General Elec¬ tions for the Dominion and the Provinces, is almost entirely made up of new matter. The facts have been carefully collated from the most reliable sources, and can be entirely depended on. In preparing future editions the editor would be glad to receive assistance in the way of data or suggestion from such as take an interest in his labors. Rideau Club, Ottawa, 15 March, 1883. IV.

Prime Ministers all : (l-r) Trudeau, future leaders John Turner and Jean Chrétien, and Trudeau's predecessor, Lester B. The Liberals won mostly on the strength of a solid performance in the eastern half of the country. His energetic campaign attracted massive media attention and mobilized many young people, who saw Trudeau as a symbol of generational change. His father was a French-Canadian businessman, His mother was of Scottish ancestry, and although bilingual, spoke English at home. He defeated several prominent and long-serving Liberals including Paul Martin Sr. He immediately called an election. For information about the 28th Parliament, to , see 28th Canadian Parliament. Ignatieff resigned as party leader immediately after the election, and rumours again circulated that Trudeau could run to become his successor. Over a five-week period he attended many lectures and became a follower of personalism after being influenced most notably by Emmanuel Mounier. In this and other forums, Trudeau sought to rouse opposition to what he believed were reactionary and inward-looking elites. If you see something that doesn't look right, contact us! In his next election, in at the height of Trudeaumania , he received Trudeau, in an attempt to represent Western interests, offered to form a coalition government with Ed Broadbent's NDP, which had won 22 seats in the west, but was rebuffed by Broadbent out of fear the party would have no influence in a majority government. Trudeau criticized the Liberal Party of Lester Pearson when it supported arming Bomarc missiles in Canada with nuclear warheads.

TRURO, N. S. Printed by Doane Bros., 1894. PREFACE The committee in charge of the publication of this pamphlet, in per- forming their duty, exceedingly regret that the delay has rendered it im- possible to furnish the "Guardian's" account of Truro's eventful Natal Day, as well as to give the address delivered by F. A. Ljaurence, Esq., Q. C, on the memorable occasion, published in September or October, 1882, in that newspaper. After much diligent inquiry for the missing num- bers of the "Guardian," by advertisement and otherwise, they are not forthcoming. If not discovered in time for the present publication the committee hope that the matter of a supplementary nature in the form of an appendix, will be found of sufficient historical importance to, in some measure, compensate for that which has been lost.

The steps taken by Governor Carleton in calling this assembly are detailed in his letter of October 25, 1785, to Lord Stanley in the Colonial Office at London: "My Lord, I have the honor to inform your Lordship that having completed such arrangements as appeared to be previously requested, I directed writs to issue on the 15th instant for convening a General Assembly to meet on the first Tuesday in January next. In this first election it has been thought advisable to admit all males of full age who have been inhabitants of the province for no less than three months to the privilege of voting, as otherwise many industrious and meritorious settlers, who are improving the lands allotted to them but have not yet received the King's Grant, must have been excluded. … The House of Representatives will consist of 26 members, who are chosen by their respective counties, no Boroughs or cities being allowed a distinct Representation. The county of St. John is to send six members, Westmorland, Charlotte, and York four members each, Kings, Queens, Sunbury and Northumberland, each two members.

The change in constructions of official Canadian identity was due to pressures from an ongoing dialogue in Canadian society that reflected the larger geo-political shifts taking place during the period. This dialogue helped shape the political discussion, from one focused on maintaining an out-dated national identity to one that was more representative of how many Canadians understood Canada to be. This change in political opinion accordingly transformed the official identity of the nation-state of Canada. Les années 1960 ont été une période tumultueuse qui a fait passer l'identité officielle canadienne d'une identité essentiellement britannique à une identité reflétant la diversité du Canada.

    What to do about Question Period: A Roundtable Michael Chong, MP; Marlene Jennings, MP; Mario Laframboise, MP; Libby Davies, MP; Tom Lukiwski, MP On May 7, 2010 a motion calling for the Standing Committee on Procedure and House Affairs to recommend changes to the Standing Orders and other conventions governing Oral Questions was introduced by the member for Wellington–Halton Hills. Among other things the Committee would consider ways of (i) elevating decorum and fortifying the use of discipline by the Speaker, to strengthen the dignity and authority of the House, (ii) lengthening the amount of time given for each question and each answer, (iii) examining the convention that the Minister questioned need not respond, (iv) allocating half the questions each day for Members, whose names and order of recognition would be randomly selected, (v) dedicating Wednesday exclusively for questions to the Prime Minister, (vi) dedicating Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday for questions to Ministers other than the Prime Minister in a way that would require Ministers be present two of the four days to answer questions concerning their portfolio, based on a published schedule that would rotate and that would ensure an equitable distribution of Ministers across the four days. The motion was debated on May 27, 2010. The following extracts are taken from that debate.
