CANADIAN PARLIAMENT Don C. Barnett OBJECTIVES 1. Students will learn that Canada's parliament is composed of elected political parties. 2. Students will learn the concepts of "official party status", "majority-minority", "political spectrum", "constituency", "regionalism", and "popular vote". RELATED WEB SITES 1. Check the titles under the "Teaching Ideas" section Social Studies of this web site and click onto the title about women participating in Canadian society. This teaching plan contains ideas and statistics on the numbers of women in the federal House of Commons. PROCEDURES 1. Provide students with a brief introductory overview of Canada's federal electoral process. Review concepts such as the House of Commons, Senate, Constituencies, etc. Note that Members of Parliament (MP's) are elected to office. 2. Present students the following chart on the number of elected seats by political parties in the House of Commons. 3. Ask introductory questions such as: How many seats in the current House of Commons? Who is the MP for our constituency? How large is our constituency? Where is the general center of our constituency? 1997 House of Commons Political Party # of Seats % of Popular Vote Liberal 155 38 Reform 60 19 Bloc 44 11 NDP 21 11 Progressive Conservative 20 19 Independent 1 2 4. Ask students to analyze the information in the chart. Which party forms the "government"? Which party is the "official opposition"? Is it essential that everyone who runs for office must belong to a political party? (no there is one independent Member of Parliament).

Shop CC Forums Chat Budshots Budbabes Growing Seeds Bookstore Outlet Locator Emery smokes out the Canadian parliament by Reverend Damuzi (26 Sept, 2003) No arrests as crowd of 400-500 people share massive joint Marc explains the legal situation A crowd of four to five hundred people gathered on Parliament Hill in Ottawa to share a one-ounce joint with Marc Emery as he delivered a message of pot freedom to Canada's politicians on Thursday. As Emery explained before the protest, his message can be boiled down to "Marijuana is legal, let's keep it that way." He asked protestors to bring signs to that effect and wasn't dissappointed when he showed up on parliament's front steps to find many carrying caringly-crafted home-made protest signs emblazoned with his message. The support of the crowd was tremendous. Passing around the 25 gram joint Emery's point is that because of recent court decisions in Ontario, PEI, Nova Scotia and BC - which found possession laws defunct, invalid and non-existent - the new so-called decriminalization law will be a step backwards. Especially since hidden within the new law are provisions to double jail time for growers and no clear agenda to stop giving criminal records for small possession offences. As Emery explained the hard facts to onlookers, and the hour closed on 4:20 PM, the crowd swelled. The massive bomber that he had waved around during an exhilarating round of speechmaking had caught the attention of his audience, which pressed so closely that it is doubtful a cop could have penetrated the throng.

The vote was recorded and a list of those who voted for and against the bill will be available on Hansard. The new provision in the criminal code could readily open up prosecution of individuals and groups who express views considered by courts to be "publicly inciting hatred" In order to be found guilty of an indictable offence under the code, which carries a penalty of up to two years in prison, a person must communicate statements, in a public place, which incite hatred against an identifiable group in such a way that there will likely be a breach of the peace. Legal experts consulted by LifeSiteNews.com confirmed that the language in the legislation is loose and open to widely varying interpretation.

The date for a new session may change once the new Prime Minister takes over. The Liberal Party begins its Leadership Convention today and on Friday will choose Paul Martin as its leader. Paul Martin will become Prime Minister of Canada once Jean Chretien retires. The indications are that Prime Minister Chretien will turn over the reigns of power to Mr. Martin sometime between Mr. Chretien's scheduled trip to the Commonwealth Summit in Nigeria in mid-December and the January 12 date for a new session of Parliament. It is expected that an announcement will be made next week after the Liberal Leadership Convention giving a detailed schedule for the transition of power between the two leaders. With the closing of Parliament, two bills important to Paul Martin and his team were siderailed, although the new Prime Minister will be able to revive them when Parliament resumes.

The 195-77 vote was non-binding, but Prime Minister Jean Chretien had already signalled his intention to ratify the agreement by the end of the year if it was approved by parliament. It's really excellent, a good indication of the wishes of the country and the Canadian people Environment Minister David Anderson The vote came despite opposition from several of Canada's more powerful provinces, who fear the treaty could harm the country's economy - and followed days of delay tactics by the official opposition party, the Canadian Alliance. Canada's decision is in stark contrast to the position of the neighbouring United States, where President George W Bush has rejected the accord. Fierce opposition Prime Minister Chretien and his governing Liberals have been determined to push through Canada's ratification of Kyoto for some time, says a BBC correspondent in Toronto.

document.write(""); document.write(""); Canadian Parliament recognizes Armenian genocide Last Updated Sun, 25 Apr 2004 16:21:16 OTTAWA - The House of Commons has reversed a long-standing policy and passed a resolution denouncing the Turks for committing genocide against Armenians in 1915. The vote passed easily, 153-68. The motion said: "That this House acknowledges the Armenian genocide of 1915 and condemns this act as a crime against humanity." Armenian Canadians hold a vigil after the vote For decades consecutive Canadian governments have dodged the sensitive issue by calling what happened in eastern Turkey a "tragedy," stopping well short of referring to the events as "genocide." In 1915, during the First World War, Turkish troops put down an Armenian uprising. Armenians say about 1.5 million people were killed by the Ottoman Turks, during a brutal eight year campaign. Turkey has always fought attempts by Armenians and international human rights organizations to have the events declared a genocide. Previously, Ankara has warned countries contemplating similar action that there would be negative consequences. In some cases business contracts have been held up or denied. In 2001 France backed the Armenian case. Ankara responded by freezing official visits to France and temporarily blocking French companies from competing for defence contracts.

The Parliament of Canada is Canada 's democratic legislative branch, seated at Ottawa Ontario . According to article 17 of the Constitution Act, 1867 of the Constitution of Canada , the parliament consists of three parts: the Queen of Canada , Her Majesty Elizabeth II, who is most often represented by the Governor General . Most of the duties of the Queen are ceremonial or are defined by constitutional convention the Senate (also called "Upper House" or "Red Chamber"), consisting of 104 Senators, appointed by the Governor-General on the request of the Prime Minister ; and the House of Commons (also called "Lower House" or "Green Chamber"), consisting of 301 Members (called Members of Parliament or MPs), one elected from each of Canada's 301 electoral districts. The leader of the majority party in the House of Commons is asked by the Governor-General to become Prime Minister and form the government. Legislation must pass through both houses of parliament before it is enacted. In practice, the House of Commons is by far the more powerful of the two bodies. Only the House of Commons is allowed to introduce legislation dealing with the obtaining or spending of money.
