  • Examining the Use of Ontario Parliamentary Convention to Guide the Conduct of Elected Officials in Ontario
    Understanding the Unwritten Rules: Examining the use of Ontario Parliamentary Convention to Guide the Conduct of Elected Officials in Ontario by Ian Stedman A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Master of Laws Faulty of Law University of Toronto © Copyright by Ian Stedman 2015 Understanding the Unwritten Rules: Examining the use of Ontario Parliamentary Convention to Guide the Conduct of Elected Officials in Ontario Ian Stedman Master of Laws Faculty of Law University of Toronto 2015 Abstract Government ethics legislation in Canada guides and restricts the conduct of parliamentarians. Ontario established an independent officer of the legislature in 1988 who is responsible for administering its government ethics legislation. In 1994, an undefined behaviour-guiding standard called “Ontario parliamentary convention” was added to the legislation. This paper explores the history of Ontario’s government ethics regime and examines its response to specific scandals, in order to describe the emergence of Ontario parliamentary convention as a ii standard of conduct. It then provides a full discussion and complementary summary of the specific parliamentary conventions that Ontario’s legislative ethics officers have determined must guide the conduct of Ontario’s parliamentarians. This discussion and summary illuminate the problematic and inconsistent use of this standard by Ontario’s legislative ethics officers. Two sets of recommendations are then offered to help modernize and strengthen the legislation for the benefit of Ontario’s parliamentarians. iii Acknowledgments I am deeply indebted to my wife and children for their support and patience throughout the completion of this thesis. Aimy, Lia and Ivy have spent a great deal of time this past year without their husband and father and this accomplishment is as much theirs as it is mine.

  • The Use of Personal Anecdotes in the Ontario Legislative Assembly
    The Use of Autobiographical Stories in First Speeches to the Ontario Legislative Assembly Belinda Ellsworth 2011-2012 Intern Ontario Legislature Internship Programme (OLIP) 1303A Whitney Block, Queen’s Park Toronto, Ontario M7A 1A2 [email protected] www.olipinterns.ca Draft version: Please do not cite without the author’s permission Paper presented at the Annual Meeting of the Canadian Political Science Association, 15 June 2012, Edmonton, Alberta Introduction Brian Mulroney famously once said, “When I was driving a truck, John Turner was dancing with Princess Margaret.”1 This strategic reference to two contrasting personal histories allowed Mulroney to draw a sharp contrast between himself and his opponent. The inferences here regarding their differing values and capacities to understand the struggles of average citizens are apparent without being explicit. The intersection between the public and private spheres in political settings can be tense ground, and examples such as this one show how autobiographical anecdotes can be rendered politically relevant. Private lives are used as shorthand for political values and suitability for public office. To better understand how autobiographical stories can be invoked in the public sphere, this paper will analyze the use of personal details in parliamentary first speeches, also known as maiden speeches. By analyzing 168 first speeches delivered by newly elected members of the Ontario Legislative Assembly during four different sessions, this will provide insight into the act of “strategic self disclosure” as practiced by elected officials in the Ontario context. These Members of Provincial Parliament (MPPs) lack established records as legislators, so instead they must leverage examples from their personal and professional experiences to assert an identity and demonstrate their credentials.
