The appointment of counsel and other matters were settled between us and David C. Day, Q.C. of the bar of Newfoundland and Clay M. Powell, Q.C. of the bar of Ontario decided upon. A minute of the Order in Council appointing these gentlemen and myself was dated on April 14, 1989. Thereafter our dealings were with the Deputy Minister of Justice, Ronald J. Richards, Q.C. and his officers as the minister became increasingly preoccupied with the general election campaign. Mr. Powell and I flew from Toronto on April 18 to confer with Mr. Day and with Herbert A. Vivian, Executive Secretary designate to the Royal Commission, a senior officer of the Department of Justice and former member of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. The date for the first organization meeting of the commission was set for May 8, 1989. Mr. Powell and I returned to Toronto on April 20 at which time the government of the day was defeated at the polls. The new ministry was as committed as its predecessor to the establishment of an inquiry into the response of the administration of justice and social services to complaints emanating from residents of Mount Cashel Orphanage and other sources, and indeed pledged to enlarge its scope, but v Criminal Justice and Complaints naturally required time to consider to what extent it would adopt the terms of reference contained in the commission issued to me under the great seal of Newfoundland and dated March 31, 1989. In due course this was superseded by a new commission dated June 1, 1989 which is reproduced at the front of this report. While the earlier document is not reproduced it is desirable to point out the differences in emphasis and detail contained in its successor. These documents are divided after preamble into articles I to IV in the case of the version of June 1 and articles I to III in the case of that of March 31, 1989. The opening recital in both are the same. To the second of June 1 has been added the second and third recitals now appearing, the fourth recital being identical with the first of March 31. The first words of article I "to inquire into... " are the same in both documents and paragraphs (cj, (e) and (g) of the second are identical with paragraphs somewhat differently identified in the earlier version. Paragraph (a) discarded the words "then prevailing" which originally followed "police policies". Paragraph (b) is new while paragraph (d) has added the police report of December 18, 1975 to the former reference only to that dated March 3, 1976. In paragraph (f) of article I the reference to files has been changed to "handled in the normal manner" from "registered in the Department in the normal manner" and in paragraph (h) the words "if so, the terms of such bargain" have been substituted for "in return for any reciprocating action" with a notable improvement in style. In the March 31 version paragraph (j) reads as follows: "whether the Director of Child Welfare was aware of the allegations investigated by the police in 1975, and if so, how he was made aware of these matters and what actions, if any, were taken." This was discarded for the existing paragraph VI Introduction (i) of article I of the current terms of reference. Article II is wholly new and greatly enlarges the original charge. Article II of the earlier version which required recommendations as to compensation which might be paid to the complainants was removed; article III is new and article IV of the present version is the same as article III of its predecessor. For the rest nothing was changed except the final paragraph which at March 31 read "AND FURTHER, \ve require you to report your findings with as little delay as possible", on June 1 altered to read in the final version "AND FURTHER, \ve require you to report your findings within ninety days of the commencement of Hearings". In short order it became apparent that this change was unrealistic in view of the mass of evidence offered and uncovered and the provision was removed in its entirety by Order in Council 1166 of 1989, dated December 29, 1989. Henceforth the commission's business with the Government was conducted with and through the Honourable Paul D. Dicks, Q.C., Minister of Justice and Attorney General in the Ministry headed by the Honourable Clyde Wells, Q.C., and his Deputy Minister Mr. James Thistle, Q.C.. The co- operation of government departments with its investigations in compliance with an Order in Council dated April 14, 1989 was abundantly forthcoming. A further Order in Council dated June 2, 1989 seconded Mr. Herbert Vivian to the position of Executive Secretary of the Royal Commission, provided it with a budget of $500,000, and authorized the acquisition of premises without the need for public tender, and the hiring of staff with preference for secondment from the public service. It was now possible to advertise in the Newfoundland Gazette and the provincial press June 28, 1989 as the date of the first organization meeting of the VII Criminal Justice and Complaints commission, setting out the terms of reference and inviting those who wished to seek standing to appear at its public hearings and participate in its proceedings.

  • If We Could All Be Peter Lougheed” Provincial Premiers and Their Legacies, 1967-2007 1
    “If we could all be Peter Lougheed” Provincial premiers and their legacies, 1967-2007 1 J.P. Lewis Carleton University [email protected] Paper for Presentation at The Annual Meeting of the Canadian Political Science Association Concordia University, Montreal June 2010 Introduction For a variety of reasons, the careers of Canadian provincial premiers have escaped explicit academic attention. Premiers are found frequently in Canadian political science literature, but more for direct roles and actions – in questions of the constitution, federalism, public policy and electoral and legislative studies – instead of longitudinal study and analysis. This fits a pattern of neglect in the field; some academics have lamented the lack of direct attention to provincial politics and history (Brownsey and Howlett 2001). The aggregate imprints of premiers are relatively ignored outside of regional and provincial treatments. No pan- Canadian assessment of premiers exists, and probably for good reason. The theoretical and methodological concerns with asking general research questions about premiers are plenty; leadership theory and historical approaches provide some foundations but any approach is going to confront conceptual challenges. This is where this study is found – in a void of precedents but a plethora of qualitative data. 2 Regardless of methodological challenges, some historians, political scientists and members of the media have not shied away from ranking and assessing national leaders. Some of the more popular treatments (from the popular culture version to the more academic approach) include Ferguson’s Bastards and Boneheads , Granatstein and Hillmer’s Prime Ministers: Ranking Canada’s Leaders , and Bliss’s Right Honourable Men . Bliss (xiv), the esteemed historian, is skeptical of such endeavours, “While this is Canadian history from Parliament Hill, I am not a Hegelian and I do not believe that political leaders, least of all prime ministers of Canada, are personifications of the world spirit.

  • How the Catholic Church Sexual Abuse Crisis Changed Private Law
    CARDINAL SINS: HOW THE CATHOLIC CHURCH SEXUAL ABUSE CRISIS CHANGED PRIVATE LAW MAYO MORAN* ABSTRACT For several decades now, the unfolding of the Catholic Church sexual abuse crisis has been front-page news. It has wreaked havoc on hundreds of thousands of lives, cost the Church billions of dollars, and done irreparable harm to a once-revered institution. Along the way, it has also helped to transform the all- important private law of responsibility. When the crisis began to break in the early 1980s, the few survivors who sought legal redress faced a daunting array of obstacles. Limitations periods alone had the effect of barring almost all child sexual abuse claims. Immunities also helped to shield the Church. Private law itself was generally hostile to institutional liability, particularly where the harm resulted from the criminal act of an individual. All of that has changed. Among the catalysts for change within private law, the Catholic Church sex abuse crisis looms large. The scale of the crisis and the universal nature of the Church were certainly both important factors, but so too was the Church's response. From the initial impulse to cover up instances of abuse to choices made in the legal and political arenas, it appeared willing to do almost anything to protect itself. Yet the Church had traditionally bene®ted from special treatment precisely on the ground that it was not an ordinary, self-interested legal actor. The tension between the Church's mission and its approach to covering up abuse began to attract notice. Courts and legislators were prompted to act.

  • Clergy Sexual Abuse: Annotated Bibliography of Conceptual and Practical Resources
    Clergy Sexual Abuse: Annotated Bibliography of Conceptual and Practical Resources. Preface The phenomenon of sexual abuse as committed by persons in fiduciary relationships is widespread among helping professions and is international in scope. This bibliography is oriented to several specific contexts in which that phenomenon occurs. The first context is the religious community, specifically Christian churches, and particularly in the U.S. This is the context of occurrence that I best know and understand. The second context for the phenomenon is the professional role of clergy, a religious vocation and culture of which I am a part. While the preponderance of sources cited in this bibliography reflect those two settings, the intent is to be as comprehensive as possible about sexual boundary violations within the religious community. Many of the books included in this bibliography were obtained through interlibrary loan services that are available at both U.S. public and academic libraries. Many of the articles that are listed were obtained through academic libraries. Daily newspaper media sources are generally excluded from this bibliography for practical reasons due to the large quantity, lack of access, and concerns about accuracy and completeness. In most instances, author descriptions and affiliations refer to status at time of publication. In the absence of a subject or name index for this bibliography, the Internet user may trace key words in this PDF format through the standard find or search feature that is available as a pull-down menu option on the user’s computer.

  • Truth Commissions and Public Inquiries: Addressing Historical Injustices in Established Democracies
    TRUTH COMMISSIONS AND PUBLIC INQUIRIES: ADDRESSING HISTORICAL INJUSTICES IN ESTABLISHED DEMOCRACIES by Kim Pamela Stanton A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Juridical Science Faculty of Law University of Toronto © Copyright by Kim Pamela Stanton 2010 Truth Commissions and Public Inquiries: Addressing Historical Injustices in Established Democracies Doctor of Juridical Science Kim Pamela Stanton Faculty of Law University of Toronto 2010 ABSTRACT In recent decades, the truth commission has become a mechanism used by states to address historical injustices. However, truth commissions are rarely used in established democracies, where the commission of inquiry model is favoured. I argue that established democracies may be more amenable to addressing historical injustices that continue to divide their populations if they see the truth commission mechanism not as a unique mechanism particular to the transitional justice setting, but as a specialized form of a familiar mechanism, the commission of inquiry. In this framework, truth commissions are distinguished from other commissions of inquiry by their symbolic acknowledgement of historical injustices, and their explicit “social function” to educate the public about those injustices in order to prevent their recurrence. Given that Canada has established a Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) on the Indian Residential Schools legacy, I consider the TRC’s mandate, structure and ability to fulfill its social function, particularly the daunting challenge of engaging the non-indigenous public in its work. I also provide a legal history of a landmark Canadian public inquiry, the Mackenzie Valley Pipeline Inquiry, run by Tom Berger. As his Inquiry demonstrated, with visionary leadership and ii an effective process, a public inquiry can be a pedagogical tool that promotes social accountability for historical injustices.

  • The Newfoundland and Labrador House of Assembly
    The Newfoundland and Labrador House of Assembly Alex Marland The purpose of this paper is to describe and analyze the Newfoundland and Labrador House of Assembly to increase public awareness of its procedural functions and provide the basis for a comparative analysis with other legislatures. The article includes a history of the legislature; the socio-demographics of MHAs; the resources of MHAs and party caucuses; and the relationship between government and opposition. The analysis includes the role of the Speaker, legislative committees, the procedure for bills, and the difficulties of mounting an effective opposition amidst lopsided majority governments. t is said that the Newfoundland and Labrador choice to election officials.
