Baffinland suggested in its motion that it is fair to all parties for the Board to reconvene the Public Hearing for the Phase 2 Proposal on October 30, 2020. We submit that it would be premature to schedule a Hearing until such time as a Technical Meeting and Pre-Hearing Conference are held to determine whether the proposal is sufficient to be heard at a hearing, and to determine issues such as the timing, location and format of a Hearing. It would also be inappropriate for the NIRB to determine next steps based on a mo- tion from Baffinland. It is not fair to all parties to reconvene the Public Hearing in October. Many organizations par- ticipating in the ongoing assessment of Phase 2, including our Hamlets and HTOs, have suf- fered significant limitations on our ability to engage in a normal workload while still remaining vigilant in addressing Covid-19 related safety measures.

    evue canadienne V olume 41, No 1 Arbre généalogique politique: Les liens familiaux au sein du Parlement du Canada 2 CANADIAN PARLIAMENTARY REVIEW/SPRING 2017 La masse actuelle de la Chambre d’assemblée de la Nouvelle Écosse est en usage depuis qu’elle a été offerte à l’Assemblée le 5 mars 1930 par le juge en chef Robert Edward Harris, quatorzième juge en chef de la Nouvelle Écosse, et sa femme. 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. Harris, juge en chef de la Nouvelle Écosse, et par Mme Harris, en mars 1930.
