  • The Impact of Elected Women on Parliamentary Debate and Policymaking in Canada
    Women in the House: The Impact of Elected Women on Parliamentary Debate and Policymaking in Canada by Erica Jane Rayment A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of Political Science University of Toronto © Copyright by Erica Jane Rayment 2020 Abstract Women in the House: The Impact of Elected Women on Parliamentary Debate and Policymaking in Canada Doctor of Philosophy, 2020 Erica Jane Rayment Graduate Department of Political Science University of Toronto This study examines the impact of elected women in Canada on patterns and processes of parliamentary debate and policymaking from 1968 to 2015. It argues that women’s presence in parliament matters for the substantive representation of women, particularly under conditions of threat to women’s equality. The study refines core concepts in the literature on women’s political representation to explain how the substantive representation of women occurs in Canadian parliamentary institutions. It disaggregates the concept of substantive representation and expands the scope of the critical actors framework to include actions that defend women’s equality against regressive policy initiatives. Building on these refinements, the study argues that gender is a key factor in determining whether an MP will represent women in parliamentary debate, but the institutional role MPs occupy and the political context in which they operate influence the mechanisms they use to advocate for women’s equality in policymaking and their chances of success. Through an automated analysis of the content of nearly 50 years of parliamentary debate, the study finds that women MPs, regardless of party affiliation, are consistently more likely than their male colleagues to make representative claims about women.

  • Judicial Selection and Democratic Theory: Demand, Supply, and Life Tenure
    JUDICIAL SELECTION AND DEMOCRATIC THEORY: DEMAND, SUPPLY, AND LIFE TENURE Judith Resnik* ABSTRACT How ought a democracy select its judges? Critics in Canada, England, and Wales invoke the democratic values of accountability and transparency to call for a diminution in prime ministerial control over judicial appointments. In the United States, Article III of the Constitution's text directs that the President nominate- with the advice and consent of the Senate-life-tenured federal judges. Bitter conflicts about particular nominees have produced many proposals for changes of that system. And in those states that rely on various forms of judicial election, concerns focus on funding and campaigning. In short, both globally and locally, democracies debate the legitimacy and wisdom of various methods used to endow individuals with the state's power of adjudication. This diversity of techniques for judicial selection illuminates the complex relationship of adjudication to democracies. Democracy tells one a good deal about rights to justice, equality before and in the law, and constraints on the power of the state, its courts included. But absent a claim that all government officials in a democracy must be elected, it is difficult to derive from democracy any particular process for picking judges. In contrast, democratic principles do rule out a few procedures for judicial selection-such as by inheritance or through techniques that systematically exclude persons by race, sex, ethnicity, and class. In addition to examining the interaction between democratic theory and * Arthur Liman Professor of Law, Yale Law School. © Judith Resnik 2005.

  • Bill C-49: a Victory for Interest Group Politics
    BILL C-49: A VICTORY FOR INTEREST GROUP POLITICS Robert Martin* I intend, in this essay, to address the origins of Bill C-491 and then turn to an analysis of its adoption as an amendment to the Criminal Code.2 My aim is to show how both thë public debate about Bill C-49 and its enactment illustrate the power of interest group politics in Canada. I will also make some observations about the meaning of Bill C-49. My purpose in making these observations will be to demonstrate how Bill C-49 is an expression of the ideology of the interest group which created and supported it. I will conclude with some thoughts on whether this is a sound way to make criminal law. The Content of Bill C-49 Before looking in detail at where Bill C-49 came from, it is essential to have a clear idea of what it does. The legislation contains two types of provisions, which I differentiate simply as procedural and substantive. a. Procedural The purpose of the procedural elements of Bill C-49 is to establish a new “rape- shield” law to replace the one which was struck down by the Supreme Court of Canada in R. v. Seaboyer.3 Indeed, the language of the new provision is largely based on the Court’s judgments. There are flaws in these aspects of Bill C-49, but it is not within my purpose to comment on them. I would only note the apparent impossibility of inducing Canadian journalists to abandon convenient, but misleading, tags like “rape- shield.” The phrase “rape-shield” literally suggests that a law of this nature seeks to protect rapists.
