Topic: Nickle Resolution


In the News (Mon 13 Oct 08)

  
  Resolution (law) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A resolution is a written motion adopted by a deliberative body.
Such a resolution, when certified by the corporation's secretary, gives assurance to the other side of the transaction that the sale was properly authorized.
The resolution is often used to express the body's approval or disapproval of something which they cannot otherwise vote on, due to the matter being handled by another jurisdiction, or being protected by a constitution.

 Nickle Resolution - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
As a resolution rather than an Act of Parliament, the Nickle Resolution's chief importance is in having established a policy precedent whose application has had a varying degree of success and enforcement in governing the granting and use of titular honours in Canada, and of their receipt and use by Canadians, under successive Canadian governments.
The Nickle Resolution was a motion put forward in the House of Commons by a William Folger Nickle, a Conservative MP who would later serve as Attorney-General of Ontario.
Nickle concluded that the practice was inconsistent with democratic values and successfully moved a resolution through the House to end the practice of appointing Canadians to knighthoods and peerages.

A resolution would have to be agreed to threefold because the actions of a chamber usually take the form of a motion; they are either orders or resolutions.
Every bill entails so many motions and resolutions, but to have permanence a resolution must be agreed to by this house, the House of Commons and Her Majesty, that is an act of Parliament.
The action is that of the Prime Minister; he must assume the responsibility, and the responsibility too for advising the crown that the resolution passed by the House of Commons was without validity, force or effect with respect to the sovereign's prerogative.

The resolution asks the state legislature to impose a moratorium on executions at least until tquestions of fairnes, racial bias, executions of innocent or mentally retarded people, and other concerns can be addressed.
The mayor asked Council to consider forwarding the resolution to Raleigh anyway, if it passed, reminding everyone that the resolution is about a moratorium, not the death penalty.
People of Faith organizer Noël Nickle used her allotted three minutes to report, "We have the support of 17 community groups and over 2,000 petition signers." She also cited a Charlotte Observer poll in which 62 percent of the respondents favored a moratorium.

The yearly budget resolution process has peaked the interest of the automobile industry as the budget calls for changes to the Death Tax.
Senate Budget Committee Chairman Don Nickles (R-OK) revealed this week that the budget would include $80 billion in tax cuts, of which $2 billion is to accelerate full Death Tax repeal by one year to 2009.
This, however, seems to no longer be an option with Nickles giving this year’s budget resolution only a 5-year window of authority from 2004 through 2009, and not the usual 10-year window.

"The Nickle Resolution, passed in 1919 by the House of Commons, directed that the practice of bestowing titles of honour by foreign governments on Canadians be discontinued."
Chretien has vehemently denied that the action he took was personally motivated, and to back those claims his office re-issued copies of the Nickle Resolution, the 1919 parliamentary motion that asks the Crown not to bestow titles on British subjects living in Canada.
That resolution was never passed into law, but the Prime Minister's Office also released reaffirmations of the policy created in 1968 by the Liberal government of Lester B. Pearson and in 1988 by the Conservative government of Brian Mulroney.

 Real Women of Canada - Newsletters - The Order Of Canada Is A Curious Affair
In February 1929, a debate was held on the issue in the House of Commons, under Liberal Prime Minister MacKenzie King, as to whether the Nickle Resolution should be reconsidered.
However, four years later, on May 17, 1933, then Conservative Prime Minister Richard B. Bennett, advised the House of Commons that the Nickle Resolution had, in fact, no force or effect because it was a Resolution of the House of Commons only and that such resolutions end when Parliament is dissolved.
Blair, reminded him of the now-famous Nickle Resolution (even though apparently overridden by a later vote of the House of Commons), and stated that "conferring titles on Canadians is not compatible with the ideals of democracy as they have developed in Canada."

But a spokesman for Canada's Privy Council said that the government considered that the "Nickle Resolution", passed in 1919, prevents its citizens from receiving peerages.
However, in a 1933 debate of the Canadian House of Commons the then prime minister, Richard Bennett, said that the Nickle Resolution did not limit the sovereign's exercise of rights, which could be done only by statute.
But, the Privy Council spokesman said that the Canadian government considered the resolution to have legal force and to apply to all Canadian citizens.

U.K. Prime Minister Tony Blair told Black in May 1999 that he would be elevated to a peerage, which would give him an appointment to the British House of Lords, on the condition that he became a U.K. citizen.
Black did so, but on the day before his peerage appointment, Chrétien invoked a decades-old precedent called the Nickle Resolution, which blocks the monarch from conferring titles on Canadian subjects.
The Ontario Court of Appeal ruled Friday that the prime minister's decision to block Black's peerage is beyond the influence of the courts.

 Art meets technology at the Nickle
The Nickle Arts Museum boasts an astonishing array of visual art and one of the finest collections of ancient coins in North America; but, like most museums, the majority of its collections are not readily accessible to the casual viewer.
This past year, the museum's staff began a series of explorations to test, evaluate, and develop the use of new technologies as a means of enhancing access to our collection and of raising the public profile of museum as an important learning resource within the university.
Thanks to the generosity of the Nickle Family Foundation, we were able to replace our aging computers with new hardware and software.

Black's lieutenant and closest confidante, David Radler, has pleaded guilty to charges of mail fraud in the US and is expected to testify against Black, whose future and reputation remain clouded pending investigation by the U.S. Justice Department and numerous lawsuits filed by Hollinger shareholders.
Black's initial attempt to assume a British peerage was thwarted by Canadian Prime Minister Jean Chrétien, who invoked the Nickle Resolution which disallows Canadians from holding British titles.
However, this tactic was unsuccessful and Black then initiated a lawsuit against Chrétien, arguing that Chrétien's strict interpretation of the Nickle Resolution was payback for Black's political opinions and past criticism of Chrétien.

On the day before he was to be appointed to the House of Lords, Black was informed that Chrétien had invoked a 1919 precedent to block the peerage.
The so-called Nickle Resolution was a request from the Canadian government that King George not confer titles on Canadian citizens.
Black attacked Canada's universal health-care system, and "soft-left" policies that he said were driving as many as 100,000 skilled workers a year to the United States.

It pointed out that the Nickle Resolution, which the Prime Minister’s office was citing as the source for its objections, was simply a resolution passed by one house, not a law that bound subsequent parliaments.
Even if the Nickle Resolution had been binding, Black’s lawyers argued, it was, in effect, reversed in 1977: if you permit a Canadian to be a citizen of another country, how can you limit the citizenship rights he enjoys in that country?
Such a limitation would result in Black’s being what he later characterized as “the only sane, solvent, unincarcerated adult citizen of the United Kingdom ineligible for an honor for the sole reason that I was also a citizen of another country that shared a chief of state with the United Kingdom.”

In August of that year, Black launched a lawsuit against Chrétien for "abuse of public office" and sought a declaration that the Canadian government lacks authority to advise the Sovereign not to confer an honour on a British citizen or a holder of dual nationality.
To justify his actions, Chrétien cited an old House of Commons motion -- the Nickle Resolution of 1919 -- a request made to the British government that they not confer titles on Canadian subjects.
Chrétien's decision to halt Black's ascension to the House of Lords had nothing to do with respecting this ancient parliamentary decree.
