DEMOCRACY AND THE PERSONAL REPRESENTATIVE AND THE RIGHT TO LEGISLATE
The Parliament of Personal Representatives will have the total legislative power of the Parliament of Canada. Whatever the Elected Parliament can legislate - the Parliament of Personal Representatives will be able to legislate with the following modifications.
FROM THE VIEWPOINT OF THE PARLIAMENT OF CANADA
The Parliament of Canada retains totally its present legislative power. However, no bill or executive order is law until it has stood before the will of the Parliament of Personal Representatives. The Elected Parliament cannot pass any law against the functioning or existence of The Parliament of Personal Representative. Once it is set up, the existence and functioning of the Parliament of Personal Representatives will be absolute from the viewpoint of the Elected Parliament and cannot never be interfered with in any way. This means that in any state of emergency, the Elected Parliament may be able to interfere with the basic democratic rights listed below but cannot interfere with the political component of these rights. In such a situation, the functioning of the Parliament of Personal Representatives is absolute and the political component of all our democratic rights and freedoms necessary for the functioning of the peoples Parliament are absolute and cannot be interfered with in any way.
For example, any attempt by the Prime Minister to suspend the Charter of Rights and Freedoms would be subject to a veto by the Parliament of Personal Representatives and even if such a move was approved ie stood for the required one month period, because the political component of each basic democratic right was absolute from the viewpoint of the Prime Minister, this would mean that freedom of speech and freedom of the press could not be suspended or impaired in any way since both these freedoms are absolutely essential to the political functioning of the Parliament of Personal Representatives.
FROM THE VIEWPOINT OF THE PARLIAMENT OF PERSONAL REPRESENTATIVES
The Personal Representative will have the Total and Complete Legislative Power on an equal basis with the Parliament of Canada with the following modifications:
1. The Parliament of Personal Representatives will not be able to move any amendment to the Constitution. All amendments to the Constitution must first be passed by the Elected Parliament. Upon passage, the amendment will go for approval to the Parliament of Personal Representatives where only those who oppose the amendment vote against it. If 50% plus 1 of the Personal Representatives do not vote against the amendment then it goes for a vote to all 9 provincial legislatures and the National Assembly of Quebec. If all 9 legislatures and the National Assembly pass the amendment then it stands before all nine Legislatures of Personal Representatives and the National Assembly of Personal Representatives of Quebec. If no Legislature or the National Assembly registers a 50% plus 1 vote against the amendment then the Constitution of Canada will be amended.
2. The Personal Representative must be held to the highest democratic standards and principals. From the viewpoint of the Personal Representative the following basic democratic rights and freedoms will be absolute and cannot be interfered with in any way. The Personal Representative can enhance the above rights and freedoms but can never decrease or diminish these freedoms. They are absolute from his/her viewpoint.
(a) Freedom of speech.
(b) Freedom of press.
(c) Freedom of religion.
(d) Freedom of association.
(e) Freedom from discrimination.
(f) Freedom of expression.
(g) Equality before the law.
(h) Aboriginal treaty rights.
(I) Constitutional Right to a basic standard of living.
(j) Unfair sharing of financial burden of country finances.
(k) Federal powers applied provincially. Provincial powers applied federally. It may be possible for the Personal Representatives of a particular province to apply a federal power provincially provided the Parliament of Personal Representatives approves by the required 50% plus 1 threshold. Without such approval, Federal powers granted under the constitution are absolute from the viewpoint of the Provincial Personal Representatives and cannot be interfered with in any way. It may also be possible for the Personal Representative to legislate nationally a power granted to the provinces under the constitution. However, such a bill would only apply in the provinces where the Provincial Legislatures of Personal Representatives voted by 50% plus one in favor of the bill. It would not apply in any of the other provinces that failed to reach this threshold.
DEMOCRATIC PROCEDURE TO PASS BILLS INTO LAW
Within the above framework, the Personal Representative will be able to pass any and all bills into law on an equal basis with the Elected Parliament. Whatever bills the Elected Parliament can legislate the Personal Representative will be able to legislate.
When a bill will be introduced by a Personal Representative into the Parliament of Personal Representatives only those Personal Representatives who are in favor will vote for the bill. In order to become law, 50% plus 1 of Personal Representatives in 4 regions of the country must vote in favor of the bill.
Western Provinces
Ontario
Quebec
Atlantic Provinces
The bill must have nation wide support in the provinces. If 50% plus 1 of the Personal Representatives in any one region listed above do not vote in favor of the bill then it does not become law. Upon passage, the bill is sent to the Elected Parliament to be immediately implemented.
PROCEDURE
A group of Personal Representatives will formulate a bill for presentation to the Parliament of Personal Representatives. For the bill to receive First Reading, 5% of the total Parliament must signify their support for the bill. By doing so they all become sponsors of the bill. Once the preliminary 5% support is obtained the bill must be sent to the Supreme Court for a constitutional ruling. If the bill is declared constitutional then it is sent to the provinces for their approval. There will be a 3/6 month period in which 50% plus 1 of each of the provincial regions must vote in favor of the bill for it to become law. If the bill does not receive the required support then it is removed and cannot be reintroduced into the Parliament for another 5 years. Again only those Personal Representatives who support the bill vote for the bill. All other Personal Representatives who do not support the bill or don't care about the bill etc. etc. are not required to participate.
Although young people under the age of 18 are not members of the Parliament of Personal Representatives, they still will have the right from birth to propose legislation both federally and provincially for their elder Personal Representatives to vote on. Indeed upon their birth each Canadian will receive not only their SIN number but also an E-mail address which will designate for life their seat in the Parliament of Personal Representatives.
DEMOCRACY IN ACTION: THE SPEECH FROM THE THRONE
There are two bills that will have to be immediately implemented by the Elected Parliament. The first will be the establishment of the Parliament of Personal Representative Federally and Legislatures of Personal Representatives Provincially in their entirety with the power of approval of any and all bills and any and all executive orders passed by the Parliament / Legislatures / National Assembly and the right to legislate bills into law both Federally and Provincially.
The very first bill that the Elected Parliament must send to be approved by the Parliament of Personal Representatives will be a bill for the Personal Representative to approve into law ALL BILLS AND EXECUTIVE ORDERS PASSED BY ALL FEDERAL AND PROVINCIAL GOVERNMENTS SINCE CONFEDERATION giving them the full force of law both constitutionally and legally. At present none of these bills or executive orders is law.
VOTING PROCEDURE: DEMOCRATIC REFORM OF DEMOCRACY
