Four years of work on this project has produced a superb product. The author, who is a retired lawyer, is well qualified to write this book. Redway was a member of the East York council from 1972- 82, that borough’s mayor from 1977-82 (dur- ing this period also a metro councillor and a member of its executive committee), then for almost ten years an MP, who laterally served as Minister of State (Housing) in the Mul- roney federal government. For both non-To- ronto and Toronto residents, Redway’s book provides an invaluable background to, and a history of, how the current amalgamated City of Toronto came to be. In addition, the author uses his intimate knowledge of municipal politics to explain how and why this happened and, importantly, provides Toronto area changed dramatically as pros- personal insight about manoeuvrings which perity returned.

  • Ministerial Error and the Political Process: Is There a Duty to Resign? Stuart James Whitley
    Ministerial Error and the Political Process: Is there a Duty to Resign? Stuart James Whitley, QC* In practice, it is seldom very hard to do one’s duty when one knows what it is. But it is sometimes exceedingly difficult to find this out. - Samuel Butler (1912) “First Principles” Note Books The honourable leader is engaged continuously in the searching of his (sic) duty. Because he is practicing the most powerful and most dangerous of the arts affecting, however humbly, the quality of life and the human search for meaning, he ought to have – if honourable, he has to have – an obsession with duty. What are his responsibilities? -Christopher Hodgkinson (1983) The Philosophy of Leadership Abstract: This article examines the nature of the duty to resign for error in the ministerial function. It examines the question of resignation as a democratic safeguard and a reflection of a sense of honour among those who govern. It concludes that there is a duty to resign for misleading Parliament, for serious personal misbehaviour, for a breach of collective responsibility, for serious mismanagement of the department for which they are responsible, and for violations of the rule of law. The obligation is owed generally to Parliament, and specifically to the Prime Minister, who has the constitutional authority in any event to dismiss a minister. The nature of the obligation is a constitutional convention, which can only be enforced by political action, though a breach of the rule of law is reviewable in the courts and may effectively disable a minister. There appears to be uneven historical support for the notion that ministerial responsibility includes the duty to resign for the errors of officials except in very narrow circumstances.

May 2, 2012, 4-6 PM, Room 208N, Munk School of Global Afairs, 1 Devonshire Place, Toronto. *Please do not cite without permission: [email protected].* - Thanks to Enid Slack and the Institute on Municipal Finance and Governance. - Thanks to Diamante Development Corporation for funding fellowship. - Pay tribute to its namesakes, Blanche and Sandy van Ginkel. - How to finance the Metrolinx regional transportation plan is a hot topic. - Also interesting that Minister of Transportation (Chiarelli) has stated that the governance question is back on the table. 2 - Why is transportation a hot topic? - In two years since a TTC collector struck a nerve by falling asleep in his booth, Torontonians have awakened to transportation challenges facing the region. - Frustration with service quality has broached broader public debate about sustainability of current approaches. - Perception that “the city that works” has become a city falling behind. - Toronto sufering from range of transportation-related social, economic, and environmental costs. 3 - We're familiar with them because they’ve made the headlines again and again. - David Hulchanski’s analysis of income polarization: poverty has shifted from city’s centre to its edges where transit access is poor. - OECD has pegged productivity losses and economic costs resulting from congestion in the region at $6 billion / year.
