OCONNORS OTTAWA As delves deeper into Ihe inner workings of the exercise of power in Ottawa politics one comes to he conclusion that very few people know how the really works Certainly the general public and even those interest groups such as large companies industry associations and unions seem not to realize how to go about the business of being effectively heard Perhaps one of the least understood or used tools ivailablc in the system is the Opposition both individual Members and Parties What is often not realized is hat a parliamentary democracy is fundamentally an adversary sytem like a trial in a courtroom Two or more views are presented in the courtroom of the House of The ensuing debate is nol waged to convince opposing Members of ne position but to gain the approval of the ultimate judge the public present through the eyes and ears of the press example when the Government announces a program and implementing legislation it has or course made the prior decision to do so behind the closed doors of the Cabinet room totally vi need of the eorrectness of the move and the of the program It hopes Tor as little public airing as possible in the interests of obtaining a smooth passage through the House A majority govern ment can ensure if wishes at least a quick if not a smooth passage by the use of closure Hut in a minority situation as exists now the Government is much mure sensitive to the wishes and representations opposing interests both in the public and in the Opposition ben Thus those the public opposed to the philosophy or perhaps the proposed READERS FORUM method i in piemen tat ion of a program are often wise to ally themselves with the Opposition who may well be preparing to take a similar stand Surprisingly this almost self evident suggestion is little fallowed Most represent at ioni will be made to Cabinet Minsters or senior civil servants who will promise to take the representations under consideration Copies of the brief or remarks will then perhaps be sent to the other Parties Obviously the battle is an uphill one with the forces of the pleader pitted against those of a Govern which has made up Its mind and in the interests of saving face is usually Hide inclined to back down The most effective con vincer to which government and Oppositions for hat matter will always listen if they have any sense is public opinion Oppositions have many avenues including the priss public meetings and after dinner speech as well as the of Commons to of mobilize public i pinion And of course it is their function rcspon to programs and propose viable alternatives Having spent two years as an Assistant at s Park and seeing things from the Government point of view my experience in Opposition since last October is providing some interesting new insights into the process of government as you may from these remarks If you have a problem idea comment criticism or if you simply wish to get in touch with me please Mop by or call
