CANADA House of Commons Debates VOLUME 140 Ï NUMBER 099 Ï 1st SESSION Ï 38th PARLIAMENT OFFICIAL REPORT (HANSARD) Monday, May 16, 2005 Speaker: The Honourable Peter Milliken CONTENTS (Table of Contents appears at back of this issue.) All parliamentary publications are available on the ``Parliamentary Internet Parlementaire´´ at the following address: http://www.parl.gc.ca 5979 HOUSE OF COMMONS Monday, May 16, 2005 The House met at 11 a.m. Opposition to allot a day for the discussion of such a motion. In allotting a day for this purpose the Government is entitled to have regard to the exigencies of its own business, but a reasonably early day is invariably found. This convention is founded on the recognized position of the Opposition as a potential Government, which guarantees the legitimacy of such an interruption of the normal course of business. Prayers For its part, the Government has everything to gain by meeting such a direct challenge to its authority at the earliest possible moment. Ï (1100) We regret that after the issue of confidence became a question, that [English] it will take nine days to resolve it. This is not in keeping with our conventions and it is not at all respectful to our system of BUSINESS OF THE HOUSE government. Hon. Tony Valeri (Leader of the Government in the House of Commons, Lib.): Mr. Speaker, I rise on a point of order. After I would note in closing that it has now been some six weeks since consultation with all parties, I believe you would find unanimous the official opposition has had an allotted supply day, five weeks consent to adopt the following unanimously without debate or since the Bloc Québécois had its last day and that is out of the amendment. -

Can Parliamentarians Become Real Players?
Can Parliamentarians Become Real Players? by J. Patrick Boyer For the first time in twenty-five years Canadians elected a House of Commons where no single party has enough seats to command a majority. The advent of minority government is an opportunity for Members of Parliament to overcome problems that have undermined confidence in the House as a political institution. This article argues that in a House of Commons which is again at political centre stage, MPs need quality information about the workings of government. This will enable them to be real players in evaluating the effectiveness of programs and the efficiency of operations. y way of background let me set out the broad Second, ‘value for money’ legislative audits have in- Bcontext in which members of the new Parliament creasingly documented serious shortfalls both in effec- find themselves.

Should Canada Consider Proportional Representation?" March 15, 2002
Fourth Annual Mel Smith Lecture Trinity Western University "Should Canada Consider Proportional Representation?" March 15, 2002 Nick Loenen Contents Lack of an Alternative Government 6 Objections Considered 11 Excessive Concentration of Political Power 17 Political Disengagement 21 Mel Smith’s Contribution 26 End Notes 31 1 The invitation to give the fourth annual Mel Smith Lecture is a singular honour of which I am deeply appreciative. Mel Smith was imaginative and gifted. When Mel Smith spoke he spoke with authority, because he was an authority. He was devoted to a strong West within a strong Canada. To him, it is fair regional representation at the centre that makes Canada strong, it is also what he considered to be most lacking. He promoted reform through constitutional means. I seek reform through parliamentary and particularly electoral means. Our journeys are complimentary, two means to the same end, our paths crossed, and I gained a colleague and friend. His friendship enriched my life to this day. Mel Smith, as befits his legal profession, was careful to stipulate the purpose of this annual lecture. It is to focus, in his words, “on a national issue from a decidedly Western perspective.” This then is my assignment. I have selected three current, national trends that bode ill for our body politic if left unattended. This paper suggests that a switch to proportional representation can reverse those trends. The trends are: y Lack of an alternative government. y Excessive concentration of power in the PMO. y Growing political disengagement. In closing, the paper suggests that proportional representation might also attain some of the goals Mel Smith advanced throughout his professional life; in particular it shows how changing our voting system relates to Mel's many proposals to effect a more meaningful role for the West within confederation. -
