 The Opposition in a Parliamentary System (BP47e)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
Parliament, after all, is fundamentally about debate – "rhetoric" in the classical Greek sense – and the transacting of the people’s business in public.
The 33rd Parliament was not noticeably less partisan or adversarial than the one which preceded it, to the chagrin of those impatient for further reform.
Parliament exists not only to transact the business of state, but to provide a forum in which all legitimate points of view can be expressed.

 Canada's Flag
Many Canadians were strongly attached to the Red Ensign - the British Union Jack and the Canadian coat of arms on a red field.
It was that flag that Parliament approved on December 15, 1964, and that Queen Elizabeth II proclaimed on January 28, 1965.
Those ceremonies were replayed countless times across the country that day as Canadians gathered together in small towns and villages and in city neighbourhoods to celebrate a flag that was of their own making and uniquely Canadian.

 THE PARLIAMENT, THE EXECUTIVE AND THE COURTS: ROLES AND IMMUNITIES, Brennan CJ
Parliament is responsive to the popular will, and Parliament initiates the laws that the regime implements and enforces.
Nowadays, one of the most important functions of members of Parliament is performed in the party rooms when the members caucus as an electoral college for the choice of a leader or leaders to whose fortunes their own fortunes are linked.
The powers, privileges and immunities of the Houses of Parliament are the constitutional underpinning of the system of responsible government for they ensure that the manner in which the people's forum exercises its constitutional functions is immune from interference by either the executive or the judicial branch of government.

 The Orthodox Presbyterian Church - Papers - Rev Richard Pot Online
It then asked whether the Canadian Reformed Churches were really prepared to say of the OPC, in terms of their witness over nearly forty years and their current testimony in their nation and in the world, that it shows the marks of the false church as given in Article 29 of the Belgic Confession.
Some insisted that since the Canadian Reformed Churches had recognized the OPC as a true church in 1977, the church of Denver had no good grounds not to join the OPC, and could not be admitted into the federation of the Canadian Reformed Churches.
It should be agreed, however, by the Canadian Reformed Churches and the OPC that all who profess their faith accept the doctrine of God’s Word as summarized in the confessions (standards) of the churches.

 THE COMMON LAW CONSTITUTION IN CANADA: RETURN OF LEX NON SCRIPTA AS FUNDAMENTAL LAW   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
Parliament's origins lay in the feudal curia regis, a customary assembly of freehold tenants in capite whose attendance at the feudal court of their lord, the King, was simply an incident of land tenure.
In suggesting that Parliament was bound by natural law, perhaps Coke was simply restating accepted doctrine articulated by Fortescue and St. German in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries – statements that, in turn, adopted the orthodox medieval view advanced by Aquinas.
For Otis, however, Parliament was the foe, and the assertion of lex non scripta as fundamental law was intended not to buttress Parliament's authority but to deny it, at least in relation to the American colonies.

 The Queen of Canada?
Aimers is regularly consulted by Canadian media outlets for his expertise, and on the Queen's Golden Jubilee visit he served as a CTV commentator with Lloyd Robertson.
It could be considered ironic that it takes the split of the Canadian population on an issue to bring the leaders of the two diametrically opposed groups together.
If current Canadians, historians, and organizations are divided on the monarchy, then perhaps the future of the debate lies in a generation of younger Canadians.

Procedural rules of the Pan African Parliament must ensure that private members’ bills are debated and come to vote, and are not subsumed under constituent state sponsored bills, committee motions, or government sponsored motions (when parliament elects its officers).
In many parliaments around the world private members bills are not allowed, or even when they are on the Order Paper of the legislative houses, never come to a vote because precedence is given to government or party bills.
In many places, members of parliament are not even elected but are merely appointed by the head of state to vote for whatever the president wants.

 1911 Canadian Pattern Silver Dollar
Of note is the 1911 pattern dollar listed as the rarest Canadian coin which was - coincidentally (?) - also owned by the author of this list.
It is also interesting to note that the dollar coin is omitted from the listing which may lead one to surmise that there were not - even at that time - plans to produce this denomination in the foreseeable future.
The author was President of the Canadian Numismatic Association from 1979 – 1981.

Parliament is expected to approve additional legislation in the near future extending copyright protection to 70 years, and introducing a new neighboring right for film producers, provisional measures to preserve evidence of IPR infringement and special border measures.
The Canadian government contends that, as a result of this legislation, Canadian producers have a greater decision-making role in the operations and general policy direction of the CWB.
In addition, Canada also retained a requirement for "Canadian control" of basic telecommunications facilities (at least 80 percent of the members of a board of directors must be Canadian citizens), and a routing restriction to promote the use of Canadian facilities.

His role was long misunderstood by Canadian historians, who regarded him as a proponent of Maritime union and an opponent of a broader scheme.
Although he was disappointed that unification of the eastern provinces had been brushed aside, he was reassured when Alexander Tilloch Galt* and John A. Macdonald* insisted that they intended a strong central government, with the local legislatures having a subordinate status similar to that of municipalities.
Though ultimately he had helped to place the colony on the path to confederation, in line with the wishes of the imperial government, Canadians, and the provincial Liberals, he had failed to raise the level of political ability and morality in the province through the abolition of the local legislature.

 The Treaties of Canada with the Indians of Manitoba and the North-West Territories
In 1870 the Parliament of Canada created the requisite machinery for the Government of the Province of Manitoba and of the North-West Territories respectively, giving to the former a Lieutenant-Governor and Legislature, and to the latter, a Lieutenant-Governor and Council, Executive and Legislative—the Lieutenant-Governor of Manitoba being ex officio Lieutenant-Governor of the North-West Territories.
The Indians inhabiting the region covered by the treaties in question, extending in Canadian territory from Lake Superior to the foot of the Rocky Mountains, are composed of distinct tribes having different languages.
I think the survey of the tract should be made so as to interfere as little as possible with their respective clearings and that those who can show a fair claim to the favorable consideration of the Government should be liberally dealt with.

Reading the conference brochure, I see that this is not some fringe event: I know many of the speakers personally, and they include well-known Canadian academics, politicians, and religious leaders.
There is, however, one problem: a day before the conference is set to begin (that is, today), the Holy Cross order has decided to pull the plug on the conference by no longer allowing the use of St. Joseph's Oratory as the main venue.
I was chatting with a colleague in hospital chaplaincy, and she referred me to the web site of the Canadian Association for Pastoral Practice and Education (CAPPE).

Belinda Stronach, Member of Parliament for Newmarket-Aurora, and Minister responsible for Democratic Renewal, challenged Stephen Harper to commit to Canadians today in advance of January 23 that, if elected, a Conservative government would enact all of the recommendations of the second Gomery Report due February 1, 2006.
Then Canadians can judge his sincerity, she concluded.
What PM didn't calculate is that the Canadian public would lose track of who was a good Liberal and who was a bad Liberal, and determine that all Liberals were corrupt (Harper and team helped move this along very well).

 New Media Copyright Extensions Would Harm Canada (Submission of Matthew Skala)
We then discuss how the proposed reforms fit into the framework of the Canadian Constitution; provide answers to the discussion paper questions; give some case studies illustrating how "new media" copyright reforms have gone horribly wrong in the U.S.A.; and conclude with biographical notes on the author and a summary of points made.
The fact that most Canadians may not be able to read and understand software is no more relevant than the fact that most Canadians may not be able to read and understand a letter written in Inuktitut: both are nonetheless forms of expression and fully protected by the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
Because protection of DRM would infringe the rights guaranteed in the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, we suggest that the appropriate level of legal protection for DRM is "none at all".

To evade opposition the upper house (the House of Lords), which was willing to impose additional restrictions but not a complete ban, the Labour government invoked the rarely-used Parliament Act to bypass the House of Lords.
As one high-ranking Labour MP recently admitted, the fox-hunting ban is less about animal welfare than about urban-based Labour’s class warfare on the rural population.
