John G. Bryden: Honourable senators, I apologize for my absence. I had stepped out, and the orders moved forward rather quickly. Thank you for permitting me to speak. Honourable senators, I rise in support of the Honourable Senator Hervieux-Payette's proposed amendments to the Criminal Code that would abolish section 43 of that code. Section 43 states: Every schoolteacher, parent or person standing in the place of a parent is justified in using force by way of correction toward a pupil or child, as the case may be, who is under his care, if the force does not exceed what is reasonable under the circumstances. This is the so-called "spanking" defence, which was upheld a year ago by the Supreme Court of Canada in a 6-3 decision.
Extractions: FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE DECEMBER 11, 2002 Canadian Parliament Committee to Recommend End to Marijuana Possession Arrests OTTAWA, CANADA In a report to be released on Thursday, Dec. 12, the Canadian House of Commons Special Committee on Non-Medical Use of Drugs is expected to recommend an end to arrests for marijuana possession. The report, the product of 18 months of hearings, will be the second Canadian Parliament report this year to recommend dramatic changes in marijuana policy. In September, the Senate Special Committee on Illegal Drugs recommended a complete end to marijuana prohibition, calling prohibition "irrational" and "not warranted by the danger posed by the substance." The new report will not go quite as far, according to reports in the Canadian news media and confirmed by sources close to the committee. However, it will recommend an end to the practice of arresting and jailing adults who possess or grow small amounts of marijuana for their personal use. The committee is expected to recommend that the penalty for marijuana possession be reduced to a civil fine, similar to laws now in effect in such U.S. states as Ohio and California. Canada's Justice Minister, Martin Cauchon, has endorsed moving forward with such legislation early in 2003. Former U.S. Surgeon General Joycelyn Elders said she was looking forward to the Canadian report, saying, "I very strongly feel marijuana should be decriminalized." Dr. Elders has long been a critic of U.S. policies based on exaggerated propaganda and scare tactics rather than solid data. "Instead of dealing with science we're dealing with myths," she said.

Extractions: Canada ' house of Commons was shutdown for the third consecutive day Friday after the major opposition parties introduced a motion to adjourn the House. The two major opposition parties the Conservative and Bloc Quebecois introduced the motion in protest against ruling Liberals' refusal to hold a vote on a budget motion before May 19. The two opposition parties are seeking to have the vote on the budget motion earlier than the scheduled May 19 date to ensure three members of Parliament undergoing cancer treatments can be in Ottawa for the vote. If the opposition wins that vote, the government of Prime Minister Paul Martin would fall. "That's a fair way to act," Conservative Leader Stephen Harper said in an interview with Canadian Broadcast Corporation Friday.

Extractions: Home Encyclopedia Summa Fathers ... A > Timothy Warren Anglin A B C D ... Z Canadian journalist and member of Parliament, born in the town of Cloankilty, County Cork, Ireland, 1822; died 3 May, 1896, in Canada. He was educated in the endowed school of his native corporation. His family was financially ruined in the famine of 1846-47 and he emigrated to the city of Saint John, New Brunswick, in 1849. He was gifted as a public speaker, but made his mark as the most vigorous writer on the Catholic press in the province. He founded the Weekly Freeman and subsequently the Morning Freeman Mr. Anglin was a Canadian statesman of eminence, but he deserves a place in history more particularly as an able, fearless and indefatigable journalist, doing battle for the cause of Catholic education. In New Brunswick the issue of the greatest importance was the anti-separate school legislation. During many years Mr. Anglin, through the columns of the Freeman and on the floor of the House of Commons, fought a valiant battle for his co-religionists. His efforts, and the exertion of those who laboured with him were so far successful that in the greater part of the province a compromise was made, which allows Catholics to have their own schools and teachers, and to give religious instruction before and after school hours. This was far from being all he would wish, but it is much better than the utterly anti-Catholic, irreligious system at first insisted upon by the promoters of the law. Mr. Anglin joined the editorial staff of

However, spending power has a specialized meaning in the Canadian constitutional context. It means "the power of Parliament to make payments to people or institutions or governments for purposes on which it (Parliament) does not necessarily have power to legislate." (P.E.
