THE HERALD Page 3A Wednesday January NEW ASSOCIATE PASTOR fetor Robert Lohnes a new member to his Maple Avenue Baptist OConnors Ottawa By Terry Connor Two recent actions taken by the federal government could hold long range significant implications for our parliamentary system of government At least the steps taken together are being in by some Ottawa watchers as indicating this government s attitude toward our constitutional arrangement and the respective powers and roles of each of the House of Commons the Senate and the Supreme Court First consider the recent appointments to the Supreme Court of Canada particularly that of Bora La skin as Chief Justice There is no question about his legal ability integrity and that he Is the most progressive member of the court He will be an outstanding Chief Justice especially in subject areas concerning the rights of the individual However he also Is a deter mined and outspoken centralist on constitutional questions That Is he very definitely believes that the federal part in our federal provincial system should be strong and dominant provincial power struggle over the right to control natural resources particularly gas and oil looms as a real possibility The centralist Laskin over the senior judge on the Court from Alberta is seen by some as a politicizing of the court that is an attempt by one branch of the system the legislature to enroll the support of another branch the Supreme Court as on ally In Its political struggle with the provinces The court s traditional function has been to interpret laws made by the legislature not to make laws themselves It should also be noted that the other polntment was of a new member to the court Mr Justice Beeti who formerly was a special advisor on con matters to Mr Trudeau and who might thus be expected to share the Prime Minister views on such issues The second action being viewed with Interest Is that involving the role of the Senate In the Wiretapping Bill After months of debate and con si deration the fundamentally necessary Wiretap Bill passed the House of Commons amended by the Opposition In a few minor respects and one respect The major requires the police tapping a citizen and detecting no crime and no reason to continue the velllance tonotlfythecitlienof the Up within days of completion GOVERNMENT FIGHT The government fought this amendment tooth and nail lost It and the Bill went to the Upper House Then the Liberal dominated Senate 74 17 after but a single morning of hearings eliminated the sec tlon offensive to the govern It made no other amendments There seems little question that the Senate was employed by the govern to do It bidding The traditional role of the has been one of second thought and one of research Into the long range problems and goals of society It has not been used by the to achieve its legislative ends The interesting point these cases raise Is whether there is a conscious effort by this government to alter the traditional roles of these institutions or whether the cases are ad hoc responses to specific situations If we are taking the first exploratory steps towards dramatically altering the system this should publicly stated and debated If you have a problem idea comment criticism or if you imply wish to get In touch with me please stop by my Riding Office at 347 Kerr St Oakvllle or telephone
