E., Oshowa, Ort, Poge 4 doy, Api 15, 196) Lieutenant-Governor's Place In Our System Refusel of the Lieutenant-Covernos of Buskatchewen to give assent to & bill possed by the provincial Legislature has stirred something of & Yeihstitutions) storm. 'The wubject matter of the bill = it concerns renegotiation of miners) lenses ~- does not matter; the point ie thet an appointed representative of the Crown has blocked legislation approved by & majority vote of an elected per. Tiament The Lieutenant-Governor hes the constitutional authority to set in such & manner, our system of limited mone srchy giving the Crown the power in theory to withhold spproval from legis lation that hes passed through the as semblies of elected representatives, or Commons, The Governor-General, as the Queen's viceroy in Canada, ean with. hold royal assent and thus prevent some measure from becoming law, In fact, the power is rarely exercised; in practice it never should be exercised, because it tends to make n working rule of what is nothing more then a pleasant tradi. tion end touches the sensitive nerve that was first exposed when Charles 1 tried to humble the Commons, The Governor-General-in-Couneil will now consider the Baskatchewan legis tation and the Lieutenant-Governor's reasons for withholding assent, There is little doubt, however, about the view of the feders) government, Prime Minis. ter Diefenbsker told the Commons; "The Governor-inCouncil will take such ection ws is desmed proper with full regard to the fact thet this governs ment hes consistently taken the ettitude thet if legislation is within the legis lative competence of the provinces, except in extraordinary circumstances there should be no interference with provincial jurisdiction" The Supreme Court of Canads, of course, is competent 10 decide on the constitutionslity of provincisl legisla tion, The incident hes focussed attention once more on the place of the Lieu tenant-Covernor in our parliamentary system, Is there a place for him? M, J, Coldwell snd Hazen Argue, smong others, say there isn't, and we agree with them. A Governor - General, we believe, is a sufficient symbol of the authority of the Crown, The provinces are not autonomous states, slthough they have some exclusive powers, and their legislatures do not justify the often shabby but always expensive pomp end ceremony that go with the Lieutenant-Governorship, The Baskat- chewan affair reveals just how much of an anachronism the position has become, particularly when the will of a legis lative majority ean be so thwarted, Fellowship Of Love The Christian has, once again, cele brated Easter Day, Millions of people oll over the world have, in their thoughts, gone with Mary to the new Tomb and have found it empty, Millions of people have proclaimed their convietion that the experience which is called death is but a passing of the life that is bound by the flesh to 8 more abundant spritusl life, Such a conviction brings a purpose to life. If the tomb brings to an abrupt ending all for which one has lived and worked what is the purpose of living? Of course, for the brief period we spend on earth, we shall be happier If we get slong with our fellows, We might get more satisfaction from life if we try not to hurt others by our own individual actions, even though there are those Greater Fire Despite damp weather, the distriet has been plagued by grass fires, some of which have caused property damage. Fire department officials in the area have issued warnings, and at least one has pointed to the possibility of court action, The ease with which these fires are set and the speed with which they get out of control should impress the need for care in the handling of fires on those who will soon be moving into the province's forested areas to fish, pienie or prepare their cottage properties for the summer, Officials of the Ontario Department of Lands and Forests warn that "this could be a very bad season for forest fires , . . there is every indication, with very little snow on the ground, of an early fire hasard® Spring ia the time of year when local residents and cottage owners like to The Oshawa Times oA WIION, Publisher and General Manage € GWYN KINSEY, Bove Dahvawa 14 wn be Teeny lg hy hy ore Nn testablaned ve a Mlahatery oc TR Wy Members of Canaan Dai Anesiation The Canadian hw Rn Sreny " Chaviation and he Ontace Proving Davigs Awe The Canadian Pras Bn ssshaively entities HN he wee fe mnbiaatian of of ww Sespaichedt wh Awaited AR Thi of weil deapatoher See Se Toa Oni 840 Comin Hawt Seabed PO SUBSCRIPTION RATES Deivered by serves In Oshawa Whithy, Als, wm Brooking, ont Pay, Prine reampton, Frenshvean y Sew, LNA Circulation for the issue of March 30, 1961 17,363 who say 'It doesn't matter what 1 do as long as my actions don't affect other people But doesn't everything we do affect others in some way or another?
