Le président joue un rôle crucial dans le bon fonctionnement de la Chambre des communes, qui est au cœur du système fédéral de gouvernement au Canada. Il exerce de nombreuses autres fonctions et occupe une place essentielle dans le régime parlementaire canadien. Origines de la présidence Les origines de la présidence remontent au moins à l’Angleterre du XIVe siècle. En 1376, sir Peter de la Mare fut choisi comme porte-parole par la Chambre des communes britannique, et en 1377 son successeur, sir Thomas Hungerford, fut le premier député sur plus de 150 à porter le titre de « Speaker » (président). À cette époque, les présidents, chargés de représenter les Communes auprès du roi, se trouvaient dans une position délicate : entre 1399 et 1535, sept présidents furent décapités, un autre fut tué pendant la guerre des Deux-Roses et un dernier, assassiné. Le rôle du président prit véritablement forme en 1642 : Charles Ier fit son entrée à la Chambre et ordonna d’être informé Qu’il plaise à Votre Majesté, je n’ai de l’endroit où se trouvaient cinq parlementaires d’yeux pour voir et de langue pour parler pour qu’ils se livrent à lui. Le président, William que selon le bon plaisir de la Chambre, Lenthall, refusa de lui donner l’information, dont je suis ici le serviteur; et j’implore prononçant des paroles historiques qui ont été humblement le pardon de Votre Majesté reprises occasionnellement à la Chambre du si je ne puis Lui fournir d’autre réponse Canada pour définir la relation entre celle-ci et à ce qu’Elle juge bon de me demander. la Couronne : 3 © Collection de la Chambre des communes, OttawaCollection de la Chambre L’urne pour l’élection du président de la Chambre des communes La présidence existait déjà dans les premières assemblées législatives coloniales du Canada. Le premier président a été Robert Sanderson, un marchand de Boston, choisi pour présider la première assemblée législative représentative de la Nouvelle-Écosse en 1758. Dans les années qui ont précédé la Confédération, les prési- dents des assemblées législatives de l’Amérique du Nord britannique consolidèrent l’indépendance, l’impartialité et la nature non partisane de leur fonction, en parallèle avec l’évolution de la présidence au Royaume-Uni.

  • The Use and Misuse of Members' Statements
    The Use and Misuse of Members’ Statements by Evan Sotiropoulos On February 26, 2009, House of Commons Speaker Peter Milliken issued instructions to House Leaders regarding Standing Order 31 – Statements by Members. In it, he reminded them that “personal attacks are not permitted” and that he will “vigorously enforce the authority given to him to cut off Members if, in his opinion, improper statements are made.” This article looks at the 2009 CanLIIDocs 316 background to his instruction including an analysis of some 4000 Members’ Statements during the two previous minority parliaments. It considers whether Members have abused the rules relating to Members’ Statements and whether the Standing Orders relating to Members’ Statements should be reconsidered. he Daily Proceedings, one of five categories of • Congratulatory messages, recitations of poetry activities in the House, comprise three events: and frivolous matters are out of order.

  • “Anglo-Conformity”: Assimilation Policy in Canada, 1890S–1950S1
    Jatinder Mann “Anglo-Conformity”: Assimilation Policy in Canada, 1890s–1950s1 Abstract In the late nineteenth century Canada started to receive large waves of non- British migrants for the very first time in its history. These new settlers arrived in a country that saw itself very much as a British society. English-speaking Canadians considered themselves a core part of a worldwide British race. French Canadians, however, were obviously excluded from this ethnic identity. The maintenance of the country as a white society was also an integral part of English-speaking Canada’s national identity. Thus, white non-British migrants were required to assimilate into this English-speaking Canadian or Anglocen- tric society without delay. But in the early 1950s the British identity of English- speaking Canada began to decline ever so slowly. The first steps toward the gradual breakdown of the White Canada policy also occurred at this time. This had a corresponding weakening effect on the assimilation policy adopted toward non-British migrants, which was based on Anglo-conformity. Résumé À la fin du 19e siècle, pour la première fois de son histoire, le Canada commençait à accueillir des vagues importantes d’immigrants non britanni- ques. Ces nouveaux arrivants entraient dans un pays qui se percevait en grande partie comme une société britannique. Les anglophones canadiens se con- sidéraient en effet comme une composante centrale de la « race » britannique mondiale. Les francophones, en revanche, étaient de toute évidence exclus de cette identité ethnique. Par ailleurs, une autre composante essentielle de l’identité nationale canadienne anglophone était la pérennité du pays en tant que société blanche.
