  • Standing Firm on Free Trade Interview with the Right Honourable Brian Mulroney
    A DECADE OF FREE TRADE Standing Firm On Free Trade Interview with the Right Honourable Brian Mulroney Brian Mulroney will likely go down in Cana- dian history as the Prime Minister who introduced the most controversial changes in economic policy in the last half century, especially the Canada-US Free Trade Agree- ment. Many Canadians voted against free trade in the 1988 federal election, and some continue to argue against it. But with the benefits of the actual deal now showing themselves, the historical epitaphs will sure- ly recognise the value of Mulroney’s political courage and economic foresight.

  • Commercializing Canadian Airport, Port and Rail Governance - 1975 to 2000
    Changing Course: Commercializing Canadian Airport, Port and Rail Governance - 1975 to 2000 By Mark Douglas Davis, B.Sc. (Hons.), M.A. A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Public Policy Carleton University Ottawa, Ontario © 2016 Mark Douglas Davis Abstract This thesis examines the historical public policy circumstances surrounding the Government of Canada’s decision to commercialize Canadian National (CN) Railways, as well as federal airports and ports over the period 1975 to 2000. Its focus is on testing one specific empirical hypothesis: That the commercialization of federal airport and port assets between 1975 and 2000 occurred primarily due to: (i) federal government concerns over the growing size of the national debt and deficit; and (ii) the emergence of the neoliberal ideology in Canada and its growing influence throughout federal policy making, as witnessed by the swift 1995 privatization of CN Railways. In particular, this thesis considers the role and influence of various policy factors, such as efficiencies, governance challenges, organizational cultures, stakeholder behaviours, ideological pressures, and political realities encountered by senior federal transportation bureaucrats and the political leadership during this period. The selection of CN Railways, airports, and ports also provides a window into Transport Canada’s repeated attempts at developing an integrated and multi-modal national transportation policy. This thesis conducts a rigorous, forward-looking deductive analysis using a meso institutional framework to examine the interactions of the major micro and macro circumstances surrounding federal transportation commercialization. The three modal case studies apply the meso framework to each unique case with special consideration of the context and causality of each major reform.

  • 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.

    Pat Carney and the Dismantling of the National Energy Program TammyNemeth* ABSTRACT: The Progressive Conservative energy policy initiative of 1984-1985 represented a distinct change not only in how policy was formulated but also in the party's vision of Canada. The Tories endeavoured to decentralize government, encourage cooperative federal-provincial relations, and develop an energy policy outside the bureaucracy through consultation with the oil industry. Patricia Carney played a vital role first as opposition energy critic and then as minister of Energy, Mines and Resources. She emphasized consultation and cooperation with industry and the provinces and accepted most of their input uncritically. These developments are explored through an examination of the policy-making process developed by the Conservatives in opposition, and then put into practice after they took power in 1984. Tuesday, 4 September 1984 ushered in a dramatic change in Canadian politics when the Progressive Conservative party (or pcs), headed by Brian Mulroney, won an overwhelming majority in the federal election. The pcs captured 211 seats out of a possible 282 with 58 of those seats located in Western Canada.1 Although the pcs did not make energy the focus of the 1984 election campaign, energy policy was certainly a priority before, during and after the election. While in opposition from 1980 to 1984 most of the strong and consistent Conservative support was from Western Canada, representing 52 out ofthe total 101 pc seats. Western Canadians believed that the Liberal party's National Energy Program (nep) discriminated against them, and the oil and gas industry viewed the nep as an unnecessary government intrusion into their business: both interests wanted the nep dismantled.2 After Mulroney was elected as leader of the opposition in the spring of 1983, he appointed Patricia (Pat) Carney as opposition Past Imperfect.
