This works out to about 87 working days Senate of Canada darkens somewhat the reputation that we have as a annually, or roughly one-third of what the average Canadian works. beacon of democracy. When Canada is facing increasing pressure in its manufacturing In the 21st century, it is unacceptable that one-half of our and forestry sectors, and Canadians are struggling to get by each day, Parliament, the Senate, is unelected and unaccountable. That is why it is utterly ridiculous that senators are guaranteed their $120,000 per today, I am pleased to open debate in this House, first on our Senate year salaries until the age of 75. 970 COMMONS DEBATES November 16, 2007 Government Orders Yes, that is right. Once appointed to the Senate, senators sit until This simple, straightforward piece of legislation would end the the age of 75, which results in terms of up to 45 years. I hope all terms of up to 45 years for senators that Canadians simply cannot members will agree that 45 year terms are unacceptable in a modern accept. It would also allow the Senate to be consistently replenished democracy. with new people, with different perspectives and modern views. The Senate has remained virtually unchanged since Confedera- Ï (1010) tion. That is over 140 years. It is arguably the most powerful upper [Translation] chamber in the world and it has powers nearly equal to those of this House. Hon. members will recall that the bill on Senate tenure was first For example, the Senate can block legislation passed by this introduced in the Senate in May 2006. However, the unelected House, the democratically elected and accountable House of Liberal senators blocked and delayed its adoption for over a year Commons, and we have seen that happen just in this past year.

Although the government was disappointed at these tactics, it before Senate committees. The Senate can propose and pass had expected them somewhat. legislation, and send it here for approval. Clearly, the increasingly aristocratic Liberal senators are not In its current form, where its members are not elected by democratic and do not believe in basic democratic principles such as Canadians and therefore not accountable to the Canadian people, it is accountability, and as the legislative successors of the nobility, who unacceptable. The fact remains, the Senate is an artifact of a long ago ruled by means of arbitrary decisions, they do not believe they have time when aristocrats and nobles wielded influence and power to bow to public opinion. without being accountable to anyone. That is why we decided to introduce our bill on Senate tenure in I should clarify what I said earlier that it will delay, obstruct, not this House. make decisions or block legislation. When it did it earlier this past year, it was not a bill that came from the House of Commons and it [English] was not a bill that came from the government.

As societies evolved, so did diplomacy. In the context of the relationship between Canada and the United States the issue of acid rain resulted in some unusual diplomatic tactics being employed by Canada.

For over a decade, the CPCC has represented copyright holders before the Copyright Board of Canada. The Board establishes the levies that may be collected after trial-like hearings where experts, representing music rights holders and organizations that represent consumers and businesses that sell leviable blank media, present evidence and are cross-examined. The private copying levy has been an important part of the Canadian copyright regime since 1999, when the first private copying tariff was certified by the Copyright Board, following amendments made to the Copyright Act (the “Act”) in 1997 to allow for a levy to be placed on blank audio recording media. Currently, the levy only applies to blank CDs and MiniDiscs, at a rate of 29 cents per unit, and is paid by manufacturers and importers of these blank media to the CPCC for distribution to rights holders. The private copying levy has provided an effective mechanism whereby consumers are allowed to make copies of music for their personal use without infringing copyright and, in exchange, music creators receive royalties that recognize the value of private copies of their work.

  • Quantitative Measurement of Parliamentary Accountability Using Text As Data: the Canadian House of Commons, 1945-2015 by Tanya W
    Quantitative measurement of parliamentary accountability using text as data: the Canadian House of Commons, 1945-2015 by Tanya Whyte A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of Political Science University of Toronto c Copyright 2019 by Tanya Whyte Abstract Quantitative measurement of parliamentary accountability using text as data: the Canadian House of Commons, 1945-2015 Tanya Whyte Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of Political Science University of Toronto 2019 How accountable is Canada’s Westminster-style parliamentary system? Are minority parliaments more accountable than majorities, as contemporary critics assert? This dissertation develops a quanti- tative measurement approach to investigate parliamentary accountability using the text of speeches in Hansard, the historical record of proceedings in the Canadian House of Commons, from 1945-2015. The analysis makes a theoretical and methodological contribution to the comparative literature on legislative debate, as well as an empirical contribution to the Canadian literature on Parliament. I propose a trade-off model in which parties balance communication about goals of office-seeking (accountability) or policy-seeking (ideology) in their speeches. Assuming a constant context of speech, I argue that lexical similarity between government and opposition speeches is a valid measure of parlia- mentary accountability, while semantic similarity is an appropriate measure of ideological polarization. I develop a computational approach for measuring lexical and semantic similarity using word vectors and the doc2vec algorithm for word embeddings. To validate my measurement approach, I perform a qualitative case study of the 38th and 39th Parliaments, two successive minority governments with alternating governing parties.
