A two-body Legislature is known as a bicameral Legislature. PEI’s first Governor, Walter Patterson, was instructed to establish a House of Assembly in which representatives were popularly elected (unlike Council members, who were appointed). The combination of a Council and House was a requirement for the enactment of legislation under British law. Though Patterson became Governor in 1769, the first House of Assembly was not elected until 1773. Early sessions of the Assembly met in private homes and taverns. A Sergeant-at-Arms of the time commented that this made for a “damn queer parliament”. By 1825, the House of Assembly was working on establishing its rights and privileges, particularly in terms of self- regulation and authority.

Faite de vermeil, elle mesure 4 pieds de hauteur et pèse environ 18 livres. Ses quatre faces représentent respectivement la couronne royale, les armoiries de la Nouvelle Écosse, le grand sceau actuel de la province (celui conféré avant la Confédération) et la silhouette d’un Président vêtu de ses habits officiels. Sont également gravés sur la masse la fleur de mai, emblème floral de la Nouvelle Écosse, et le chardon écossais. La masse a été fabriquée en Angleterre par Elkington and Company, Limited. M. et Mme Harris souhaitaient que leur don de la masse reste anonyme. Le premier ministre de l’époque a respecté leur désir, mais a demandé que leur legs puisse être reconnu ultérieurement au moyen d’une inscription gravée sur la masse. Par conséquent, dans son testament, le juge en chef a chargé ses exécuteurs de faire graver l’inscription suivante sur la masse et d’assumer les coûts des travaux à même sa succession : « Cette masse fut présentée à la Chambre d’assemblée de la province de la Nouvelle Écosse par l’honorable Robert E.

I have invited the leader of the official opposition, Peter Bevan Baker, and the leader of the Third Party, Sonny Gallant, to join these committees. This new Emergency Contingency Fund is a first step in our efforts to support Islanders as we get through this unprecedented event together.” Several specific measures are being put in place as part of the province’s response to COVID-19 and were highlighted by several Cabinet Ministers. A highlight of measures currently being implemented include: Establishing a $25 million COVID-19 Emergency Contingency Fund Establishing a toll-free number to assist employers in addressing their concerns and support needs Actively monitoring the supply chain impacts Exploring compensation plans for childcare staff Moving provincial government departments and agencies to essential services Cancelling all government initiated public consultation sessions More details on these urgent actions being put in place will be shared with Islanders in the next 24-hours.

  • Political Family Tree: Kinship in Canada’S Parliament
    Canadian eview V olume 41, No. 1 Political Family Tree: Kinship in Canada’s Parliament 2 CANADIAN PARLIAMENTARY REVIEW/SPRING 2017 The current Mace of the Nova Scotia House of Assembly has been in use since it was gifted to the House on March 5, 1930 by Chief Justice Robert Edward Harris, the fourteenth Chief Justice of the Province and his wife. It is silver gilt, measuring four feet in height and weighs approximately 18 pounds. The four sides of the Mace depict the Royal Crown, the Armorial Achievement of Nova Scotia, the present (before Confederation) Great Seal of the Province, and the Speaker in his robes of office. Also found on the Mace is the floral emblem of Nova Scotia, the mayflower and the Scottish thistle. The Mace was manufactured in England by Elkington and Company, Limited. The Chief Justice and Mrs. Harris wanted to remain anonymous donors of the Mace, but the Premier, in agreeing to this, requested that someday a suitable inscription be made on the Mace. Thus, in his will the Chief Justice directed his executors to have the Mace engraved with the following inscription and to pay the cost for the engraving out of his estate: “This mace was presented to the House of Assembly of the Province of Nova Scotia by the Hon. Robert E. Harris, Chief Justice of Nova Scotia, and Mrs. Harris, March 1930”. The Chief Justice passed away on May 30, 1931. Annette M.

  • May 17, 2019 Dear Premier King, on Behalf of the Greater Charlottetown
    May 17, 2019 Dear Premier King, On behalf of the Greater Charlottetown Area Chamber of Commerce’s 1,000 members, congratulations on being elected Premier of Prince Edward Island. The Chamber welcomed the spirit of collaboration demonstrated throughout the election campaign. We echo this sentiment and believe our economy is stronger when government and private sector efforts align. As you may recall, in March the Chamber shared a series of policy recommendations in support of local economic development. We were pleased to see several of our recommendations appear in your platform and campaign announcements. As such, we look forward to the implementation of the following: • A reduction of the small business tax rate from 3.5% to 1% by January 2020, making it the lowest rate in Atlantic Canada. • Improved affordability for Island families and workers by increasing the Basic Personal Amount to $12,000 over the next three years and tying further increases to the Consumer Price Index. • A commitment to work with organizations such as the Greater Charlottetown Area Chamber of Commerce and Downtown Charlottetown Inc. to evolve regional economic development. The Chamber also welcomes additional platform commitments in support of the private sector such as: the private retail sale of alcohol; high-speed internet for all Island communities; support for the tourism industry; and interest- free loans for young entrepreneurs. We look forward to working with you and your government over the course of your mandate. On the short-term, we welcome the opportunity to meet with you to discuss these action items and other issues of importance to the local business community.
