REPORT TO PARLIAMENT

Friday February 13, 1981

The Special Joint Committee of the Senate and the House of Commons on the Constitution of Canada has the honour to report as follows:

Orders of Reference

The Special Joint Committee of the Senate and the House of Commons on the Constitution of Canada was established pursuant to Orders of Reference adopted on October 23, 1980 by the House of Commons and on November 3, 1980 by the Senate. The Orders of Reference read in part as follows:

“That a Special Joint Committee of the Senate and of the House of Commons be appointed to consider and report upon the document entitled “Proposed Resolution for a Joint Address to Her Majesty the Queen respecting the Constitution of Canada” published by the Government on October 2, 1980, and to recommend in their report whether or not such an Address, with such amendments as the Committee considers necessary, should be presented by both House of Parliament to Her Majesty the Queen;”

Additional Orders of Reference were issued by both Houses. The complete text of all Orders of Reference is set out in Appendix A.

Introduction

The Committee’s report is divided into four main parts. Part 1 is entitled “Organization of Committee’s Work” and describes the Committee’s activities. Part II is entitled “Summary of Evidence” and outlines the evidence presented by governments, groups and individuals. Part III describes the Committee’s response to the submissions received by it. Part IV sets out the Committee’s recommendation to the Senate and the House of Commons.

1. Organization of Committee’s Work

1. Initial Action

The Committee commenced sitting on November 6, 1980. By advertisements published in the major daily newspapers throughout Canada, the Committee asked for written submissions and indicated that witnesses would be invited to appear.

Beginning on Monday, November 17, 1980, pursuant to further Orders of both Houses, the sittings of the Committee were broadcast on television and radio on a regular basis.

2. Outline of Activities

The work of the Committee fell into four phases. On November 7, the Minister of Justice, the Honourable. Jean Chrétien, the first witness, made his opening statement. On November 12, and 13, he was examined by Committee members. From November 14 to January 9, witnesses representing groups January 12, the Minister of Justice returned for the “clause by clause” consideration which continued until Febru-

[Page 5]

ary 9. Thereupon, the committee proceeded in camera to prepare this Report.

The Committee was composed of 25 members of whom 10 were from the Senate and 15 from the House of Commons. There were 15 members of the Liberal Party, 8 members of the Progressive Conservative Party and 2 members of the New Democratic Party. A substantial number of other Senators and members of the House of Commons participated in the work of the Committee at one time another as indicated on the inside front cover of Issue No. 57 of the Minutes of Proceedings and Evidence of the Committee. The Committee held 106 meetings on 56 sitting days for a total of 267 sitting hours. The Minister of Justice, Mr. Chrétien, appeared as a witness 39 times and the acting Minister, the Honourable Robert Kaplan, appeared on his behalf 9 times. Clause by clause consideration occupied 90.5 hours.

The resources of both Houses of Parliament and the Library of Parliament, as well as those of the Department of Justice, the Federal-Provincial Relations Office and other government departments, the Prime Minister’s Office and the Parliamentary Centre for Foreign Affairs and Foreign Trade, were directed to the facilitation of the work of the Committee.

3. Participation by Governments, Groups and Individuals

As of February 2, 1981, 914 individuals and 294 groups had sent letters, telegrams and briefs to the Committee. Of those that expressed a wish to appear before the Committee, the Premiers of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island and Saskatchewan, representatives of the governments of the Yukon Territory and the Northwest Territories and 104 groups and individuals attended as witnesses. The groups represented a broad cross section of Canadian Society. A list of those who were invited to give evidence as witnesses is attached as Appendix B. A list of those who had, as of February 2, 1981, made written submissions to the Committee is attached as Appendix C. The complete text of the oral evidence may be found in Issues 1 to 56 of the Minutes of Proceedings and Evidence of the Committee.

II. Summary of Evidence

The Research Branch of the Library of Parliament prepared a statistical account of the 962 briefs, letters and telegrams sent to the Committee prior to December 31, 1980, the last date for the receipt of such submissions. Specific comments on the proposed Resolution as a whole, on any of the major issues raised thereby or on any clauses contained therein, were categorized in tabular form. This account is set out as Appendix D. Written submissions received after December 31, 1980 were made available to Committee members but are not reflected in Appendix D.

III. Response to Submissions and Evidence

On January 12, 1981, the Minister of Justice, on behalf of the government presented to the Committee a consolidation

[Page 6]

containing a number of suggested amendments to the proposed Resolution. The Progressive Conservative and New Democratic Parties thereupon responded with amendments both to the original resolution and to the consolidation. The government proposed 58 amendments of which 58 were approved; the Progressive Conservative Party proposed 22 amendments of which 7 were approved; and the New Democratic Party proposed 43 amendments of which 2 were approved.

IV. Recommendation

Your Committee has considered the document entitled “Proposed Resolution for a Joint Address to Her Majesty the Queen respecting the Constitution of Canada” published by the Government on October 2, 1980 and, in particular, has considered what amendments were necessary to the Address contained in the document, and whether or not the Address as amended by the Committee should be presented on behalf of both Houses of Parliament to Her Majesty the Queen.

Your Committee recommends that the Government propose to the Senate and the House of Commons for adoption a Resolution for an Address to Her Majesty the Queen respecting the Constitution of Canada, and that such Resolution be the “Proposed Resolution for a Joint Address to Her Majesty the Queen respecting the Constitution of Canada” published by the Government on October 2, 1980, as amended and approved by this Committee; and that, upon its adoption by the Senate and the House of Commons, the Address be presented to Her Majesty the Queen.

APPENDIX D

This document is a statistical account of the written submissions concerning the “Proposed Resolution for a Joint Address to Her Majesty the Queen respecting the Constitution of Canada”—(1) received by the Special Joint Committee on the Constitution as of 31 December 1980.

There were 323 groups and 639 individuals that made written submissions, for a total of 962.

It should be noted that of the 323 groups, there were 163 groups which submitted briefs, while the submissions of the remaining 160 groups were in the form of a telegram or letter only: many of these telegrams and letters amounted to a simple request to appear. In addition, a considerable number of group submissions seemed to be addressed to one issue, such as those in support of “denominational school rights”, “rights of the handicapped”, “native rights”, “sexual orientation rights”, “rights of the unborn child” and “women’s rights”.

Of the 639 individual submissions, 84 requested to appear only and 17 requested a copy of the Proposed Resolution only. Another 131 individual submissions did not comment on the Proposed Resolution as a whole (Table 1), or on any of twenty-three general principles (Table II), or on any section of the Proposed Resolution (Table III). Thus there were a maximum of 409 individual submissions which served as the basis of Tables I, II and III. However it should be noted further that as was the case with group submission, numerous individual submissions were addressed to a single concern.

The document is divided into four Tables. Table I sets out the statistics concerning the Proposed Resolution as a whole. Table II reflects the opinions of groups and individuals concerning twenty-three general principles. Table III contains statistics concerning every section of the Proposed Resolution for which at least one group or individual tendered an opinion. Table IV reveals how many individual submissions were received from each province and territory of Canada.
