NOTES ON THE PARLIAMENTARY DEMOCRACY AND THE LEGISLATIVE PROCESS

1. Canadian government is based on the rule of law and it is within representative legislative institutions that laws are created and legitimized.

2. Parliament is the center -it consists of 3 distinct institutions a. Queen (her representative -Governor -General) b. Senate and the House of Commons.

3. The consent of all three is required before a billl: a proposed piece of legislation--becomes an Act of Parliament and thus part of the legal sturcre of the Canadian state.

4. British North America Act 1967- now called 1867 Constitution Act: product of British constitutional theory and practice have shapred our politcal landscape-ceremonies within Parliament - such as Opening of Parliament;. Speech from the Throne -connected to Great Britian.

5. Parliament embraces responsible govenrment: the government of the day holds office only so long as it is able to command majorty support in or the confidence of the House of Commons. If the government is unable to secure majority support in the House, the Prime MInsiters is expected to tender his or her resignation to the governor general who dissovlves the Hose and calls for a general election.

6. Canadian parliamentary democracy embraces representative government. Citizens elect representatives who legislate on their behalf, provide parliamentary support for the government and are answerable;to the electorate in periodic elections. Parliamentary governement is based on indirect rather than direct democracy--- we elect reps who vote on our behalf on matters of pubic policy. Question: Should the House of Commons represent women or racial groups in proportion to their population??

7. Direct Democracy: -ideas from the Greek City State: Athens: citizens to govern directly -Should wer use teledemocracy: vote by the Internet?? ( Would it be secure?? and give true results?? Can take many forms- referenda or plebiscites in which citizens vote on measures introduced by governments or legislative assembles, ( binding or consultative) --Should Quebec stay in Confederation- 1980/1995) Refernda are used routinely by local municpalites to address such mattes as the funding of major public workds.

Initiatives provinde a measn by which a predetermine dnumger of votes can put an issue oon the ballot subject to a binding vote. (Stockwell Day=Doris Day)

Recall would enable a predetermined number of votes to require that their rep to resign before the next elections and face the voters in a by-election.

8. THE HOUSE OF COMMONS: : symbolic and physical centerpiece for Canadian politics. Two principles structure the debate: a. representativesness and b.adversarialism

Reps: "the essential day to day businesss of teh cCandian House of commons is note decsion-making but represtation "

The House was based on the rep by pop. There are currently 301 seats in the House of Commons -(Complete)- Ontario......... Quebec...........B.C..............

There is a"grandfather"provision: ensures that when redistribution occurs the number of seats held by Manitoba New Bruns......... Newfoundland Nova Scotia and Saskatchewan will not be reduced below the number to which they were entitled in 1974.

Should the House reflect the social diveristy of Canada beyond its regional and linguistic composition?. Members of Parliament ( M.P.s have been overwhelmingly males white and from professional and business backgrounds

women, aboriginals, ethic groups? persons with disabilities, sexual orientation

Adversarialism: Parliamentary democracy is adversarial in theory and even in architectural design. Government and opposition Mps face on antoher across a neutral no- man's land separated by the length of two swords, two opposing sides to the issue . The speaker an Mp elected to this position by the House serves as a referee but not a judge The electorate is the judge The House in its procedures resembles a court of law.

-reflected in title- Her majesty's loyal Opposition--- has a constitutional mandate to oppose not to cooperate. -catcalls and often abusive language of parliamentary debate debate -=

fighting baby behaviour style contributes to a growing disenchantment with parliamentary institutions and representative government.

Federal Cabinet Composition Oct 2002

Notes on the Canadian Cabinet (Executive Branch)

Cabinet government rests upon the firm foundation of party discipine in the House of Commons.

• The ability of the cabinet to govern rests upon its capacity to control the legislative agenda and the output of the House!
• Party discipline is super important!
• Party discipline could be eroded if minority governments are elected in the future!
• some Members of Parliament may break party discipline to demonstrate to their electorate that constituency interests come first!
• The Cabinet fusion of executive and legislative power is the most outstanding feature of Canadian parliamentary democracy-one that concentrates power in the hands of cabinet and the hands of the prime minister!
• Major difference between American model!-Executive and legislative powers in the U. S. are lodged in distinct branches of governemment the Presidency and Congress-with thier own institutions--separation of powers designed to prevent the very concentration of power that Canadian parliamentary institution ensure!

Character and Composition of Cabinet

• selected by the P.M. and continue to serve in cabinet only so long as they enjoy the prime minster's confidence.
• no legal or constitutional requirement that cabinet ministers have seats in either House or Senate
• convention: will seek a seat in House at first availabe opportunity.
• Senators cannot appear on the floor of the House thus limit are weaken in authority!
• American system: cabinet is composed on nonelected secretaries appointed by the president--act as extensions of the presidentt executive authority
• size of Canadian cabinets grew considerably over time(13 in J.A.Macdonald's) B. Mulroney's largest-40
• 1950"s J. Diefenbaker appointed the first woman, Ellen Fairclough to cabinet!
• recently smaller-public demand for fiscal restraint and smaller government!
• P.M. must represent all provinces around the Cabinet table
• need to represent the two national, linguistic communites.- Quebec reps must notly only be included in cabinet but also in large numbers!
• represent provinces proportionate to their size Ontario #1
• Religious considerations? Catholics, Protestants, Sikh, etc.
• must represent the party's major ideological camps (enemies and friends!)
• attention to competence,-respect to key porfolios
• gender issues?

• Operation of Cabinet Government
• Media ( Newspapers and T.V) use phrases " cabinet met to decide" ..continued...
• inner cabinet members: brief their colleqgues and exchange information rather than to make decisions.
• become too large and cumbersome!
• all cabinet documents are prepared in both official languages and simultaneous translation is provided!
• P. Trudeau: changed elaborate committee structure, restructure the machinery of government corresponds to leadership style
• J.Chretien reduced and simplifying the cabinet
• vast differences size and impact: Minister of Human Resources 30 000 employees/budget of $ 70 Billion!
• Cabinet decisions are taken by consensus: the prime Ministerr articulates the consensus and ministers are expected to accept the PM articualtion or resign from cabinet!
• This decision-making style reflects the basic institutional reality of responsible government; the cabinet speaks with a single voice, and thus the search for consensus in an institutional necessity.

• discussions within cabinet and related documents are subject to strict secrecy-speak with a single voice!-can lead to major problems!

• Prime Minister has supreme power! Canadian government can be seen as prime-ministerial government rather than cabinet government!

• The Prime Minister is the focal point of the Party's electoral strategy and the lightning rod for public discontent!

1. Federal Elections Notes
   Our system of government is essentially an indirect democracy. Citizens do not govern themselves directly, instead they elect represenatives to govern them

2. The right of adult citizen to elect the govenrment in periodic competitive elections is the most fundamental of all democratic rights./

3. Should there be a high level of citizen involvement and participation in all aspects of collective welfare not just elections??
4. The electoral system is subject to variations and has alternatives.

5. generates a lot of controversy (urban/rural) regional differences)

6. electoral system --votes are translated into seats in a legislative assembly.

7. single preference, voter identify one and only one of the candidates as the preferred candidate -this may lead to strategic voting ----voting for the candidate most likely to defeat a strongly disliked candidate!

8. Electoral Districts: -how many seats are allocated to each dfistrict. ( single or jultimember districts -called constituencies or ridings.

9. Plurality system -one who receives more votes than the other contestants -must get more than 50% of the votes. used in federal provincial and municpal levels in Canada.

10. Sometimes in elections the party wins the popular vote ( absolute # of actual vote cast) but this does not equal the most seats in the House of Commons!

11. A lot of regional distortion of votes-Liberals and Progressive-Coservatives shut out in different areas of Canada.
