    1 the Crown and Honours

    The Crown and Honours: Getting it Right Christopher McCreery I N T R O D U C T I O N In the words of that early scholar of Commonwealth autonomy, Sir Arthur Berridale Keith, “The Crown is the fount of all honour.”i The role of the Crown as the fount of all official honours in Canada is a precept that is as old and constant as is the place of the Crown in our constitutional structure. Since the days of King Louis XIV residents of Canada have been honoured by the Crown for their services with a variety of orders, decorations and medals. The position of the Crown in the modern Canadian honours system is something that is firmly entrenched, despite consistent attempts to marginalize it in recent years. Indeed honours are not something separate from the Crown, they are an integral element of the Crown. A part that affords individuals with official recognition for what are deemed as good works, or in the modern context, exemplary citizenship. Just last year we witnessed the Queen’s direct involvement in the honours system when she appointed Jean Chrétien as a member of the Order of Merit. While many commentators and officials in Canada seemed confused as to just what this honour is – the highest civil honour for service – people did realize how significant it was, in large part because it came not from a committee or politician, but directly from the Sovereign. With this paper I will delve into the central role the Crown and Sovereign play in the creation of honours and I will also explore the areas where attention and reform are required in the Canadian honours system.

    Sacrifice and Recognition

    Absolutely spot on! This deserves the widest possible support IMHO Subject: Sacrifice and Recognition Hi All, Just posted a question to Libby Trickett nee Lenton at the Daily Telegraph website live blog. 1:08[Comment From Ray] G'day Libby. Do you think it's appropriate that first time Olympic gold medal winners are awarded the Order of Australia Medal (OAM) given most are in their late teens/early twenties? 1:10 Hi Ray. I think they are definitely deserving, even though are so young they have worked very hard to achieve their amazing results. Just because they are young, does not mean they are not deserving. The youngest OAM Olympian is 18. Questions sent to the Honours and Awards people at the Governor Generals office on the 4th April are still yet to be answered. Now read on. Yours Sincerely Ray Brown National President Injured Service Persons Association (Peacetime Injuries) Www.ispa.asn.au (02) 9833 8485 043 833 8486 ISPA PO Box 1164 St Marys NSW 2760 We Served - We Gave - We Care True Sacrifice and Recognition There is no greater sacrifice than that where a man or woman gives his or her life for their country. A little over 102,000 Australian men and women have done just that in war, peacekeeping and peacetime service. Training for war is not without its costs with over 550 men and women paying the ultimate price in the ongoing service of this country. This is not done for personal gain and accolades or in competition to beat others to become the best.
