Atlantic Council of Canada F2313 Description and Finding Aid ROBERT A. SPENCER AND THE ATLANTIC COUNCIL OF CANADA FONDS F2313 Prepared by Sylvia Lassam and Marion Magee, 2014 TRINITY COLLEGE 6 HOSKIN AVENUE, TORONTO, ON, CANADA M5S 1H8 WWW.TRINITY.UTORONTO.CA [email protected] 416 978-2019 Robert A. Spencer and ACC fonds ROBERT A. SPENCER AND THE ATLANTIC COUNCIL OF CANADA FONDS Dates of creation 1954-2001, predominantly 1990s Extent 4.23 m of textual records 3 graphic items Biographical sketch Robert Allan Spencer, historian, educator and administrator, was born in Montreal on 9 November 1920. Following his undergraduate degree from McGill (BA 1941), he served with the Canadian Forces in Britain and Northwest Europe (1942-1946). After obtaining his MA in 1947 (University of Toronto) and his DPhil (St John's College, Oxford) in 1950, he joined the Department of History at the University of Toronto. He held various administrative posts in the Department and in the University during his career culminating in his years as the director of the Centre for International Studies (1976-1986). Between 1959 and 1984 he was co-editor of International Journal. His main field of historical scholarship, German studies, led to active involvement in the Atlantic Brücke, the annual Canada-Germany symposium. The links he developed with the Federal Republic of Germany earned him the Goethe Medal and the Commander’s Cross of the Order of Merit. He wrote or edited works in the areas of German affairs and Canadian foreign policy. A founding member of the Atlantic Council of Canada, he served as Secretary, Secretary-Treasurer, Vice-President and President over the period from 1966 to 1990. In 1998 he was given an Honorary Fellowship by Trinity College. In 1948 Professor Spencer married Ruth Margaret Church. The couple had three children, Charles, Valerie Spencer Keyes and Katherine Spencer-Ross. Professor Spencer lives in Ottawa. Administrative history The Atlantic Council of Canada (ACC) developed out of the Canadian Atlantic Coordinating Committee (CACC) which was formed in 1954 under the leadership of Professor Edgar McInnis of the Department of History, University of Toronto (later the first full-time president of the Canadian Institute of International Affairs - CIIA). In doing so he acted at the suggestion of the Secretary of State for External Affairs, Lester B. Pearson, his friend and former colleague, who had recognized that as the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) 2 Robert A.

  • Canadian Arctic Sovereignty and Security
    Journal of Military and Strategic Studies, Spring 2009, Vol. 11, Issue 3. IN DEFENCE OF DEFENCE: CANADIAN ARCTIC SOVEREIGNTY AND SECURITY LCol. Paul Dittmann, 3 Canadian Forces Flying Training School Since the Second World War, Canada‟s armed forces have often represented the most prominent federal organization in the occupation and use of the Canadian Arctic. Economic development in the region came in fits and starts, hindered by remoteness and the lack of any long-term industry base. Today the Arctic‟s resource potential, fuelled by innovative technological advances, has fed to demands for infrastructure development. New opportunities in Canada‟s Arctic have, in turn, influenced a growing young population and their need for increased social development. Simultaneously, the fragile environment becomes a global focal point as the realities of climate change are increasingly accepted, diplomatically drawing together circumpolar nations attempting to address common issues. A unipolar world order developed with the geopolitical imbalance caused by the fall of the Soviet Union. This left the world‟s sole superpower, the United States (US), and its allies facing increased regional power struggles, international terrorism, and trans-national crime. Given the combination of tremendous growth in the developing world, its appetite for commodities, and the accessibility to resource-rich polar regions facilitated by climate change, Canada faces security and sovereignty issues that are both remnants of the Cold War era and newly emerging. The response to these challenges has been a resurgence of military initiatives to empower Canadian security and sovereignty in the region.

Much of the Bill is similar to its predecessor – Bill C-42, Public Safety Act. To the extent that Bill C-55 has not addressed our concerns, we rely on our previous submission concerning Bill C-42 (a copy of which is attached), which we provided to the government in February 2002. This letter provides additional comments which principally address the differences between Bill C-42 and Bill C-55. Airline Passenger Information Bill C-42 permitted collection and use of airline passenger information in two contexts – transportation security (proposed section 4.82 of the Aeronautics Act, in clause 5 of Bill C-42) and immigration (proposed section 88.1 of the Immigration Act, in clause 69 of Bill C-42, which Page 2 applied to all transportation companies).

  • Ministerial Error and the Political Process: Is There a Duty to Resign? Stuart James Whitley
    Ministerial Error and the Political Process: Is there a Duty to Resign? Stuart James Whitley, QC* In practice, it is seldom very hard to do one’s duty when one knows what it is. But it is sometimes exceedingly difficult to find this out. - Samuel Butler (1912) “First Principles” Note Books The honourable leader is engaged continuously in the searching of his (sic) duty. Because he is practicing the most powerful and most dangerous of the arts affecting, however humbly, the quality of life and the human search for meaning, he ought to have – if honourable, he has to have – an obsession with duty. What are his responsibilities? -Christopher Hodgkinson (1983) The Philosophy of Leadership Abstract: This article examines the nature of the duty to resign for error in the ministerial function. It examines the question of resignation as a democratic safeguard and a reflection of a sense of honour among those who govern. It concludes that there is a duty to resign for misleading Parliament, for serious personal misbehaviour, for a breach of collective responsibility, for serious mismanagement of the department for which they are responsible, and for violations of the rule of law. The obligation is owed generally to Parliament, and specifically to the Prime Minister, who has the constitutional authority in any event to dismiss a minister. The nature of the obligation is a constitutional convention, which can only be enforced by political action, though a breach of the rule of law is reviewable in the courts and may effectively disable a minister. There appears to be uneven historical support for the notion that ministerial responsibility includes the duty to resign for the errors of officials except in very narrow circumstances.

  • 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.

  • Chronology of Events January 2003 – December 2003
    14 Chronology of Events January 2003 – December 2003 Aron Seal and Michael Munroe An index of these events begins on page 379 8 January Federal Justice Minister Martin Cauchon announces that Gun Control the federal gun registry will remain, despite demands from eight provincial governments that spending on the pro- gram be halted. The provinces say they may refuse to prosecute those who fail to register their weapons. They seek the program’s suspension pending a full audit of spending. 13 January Federation of Saskatchewan Indian Nations (FSIN) Chief Aboriginal Peoples Perry Bellegarde calls for the First Nations Governance Act to be entirely rewritten, warning that Aboriginal people and organizations will enthusiastically oppose it in its cur- rent form. The Act, he argues, violates the treaty rights of Aboriginal bands while doing little to address First Na- tions issues. 14 January Liberal leadership contender Allan Rock withdraws from Political Parties the Liberal leadership race. Rock is believed to have been in second place. Among his reasons for dropping out of the race, Rock cites the difficulty of fundraising against the clear favourite, Paul Martin. Rock states that he will continue his campaign for re-election in his riding of Etobicoke Centre. 356 Aron Seal and Michael Munroe 15 January Sheila Copps, in a speech to the Vancouver Board of Political Parties Trade, outlines her platform for the Liberal leadership campaign. Included are commitments to recognize gay marriage and efforts to increase the percentage of women in Parliament. 18 January The British Columbia Federal Liberal Council votes to Political Parties amend the party’s membership rules to increase to 1,000 the number of membership forms that declared leader- ship candidates can collect at once.
