NEW DEMOCRACY: FUNCTIONING OF THE PARLIAMENT OF PERSONAL REPRESENTATIVES: A LEGISLATURE OF THE PEOPLE, BY THE PEOPLE, FOR THE PEOPLE
The membership of the Parliament of Personal Representatives will be equal to all eligible voters in this country. The Parliament of Personal Representatives will represent the Will of 100% of the People of Canada because the Parliament of Personal Representatives will be The People of Canada. The primary function of the Parliament of Personal Representatives will be the consideration of all bills passed by the House of Commons or executive orders approved by the Prime Minister. Once approved by the House of Commons, each of these bills or executive orders must go immediately before the Parliament of Personal Representatives for approval and stand before the Will of the individual Personal Representatives for one month or until defeated whichever is the lessor of the two. Only those Personal Representatives vote who oppose the bill. All other Personal Representatives who support the bill or don't care about the bill etc. etc. are not required to do anything. The Parliament of Personal Representatives will be a completely voluntary Parliament. Only those Personal Representatives who feel so strongly against a bill will register their displeasure with a veto. If 50% plus 1 of the entire Parliament of Personal Representatives (ie. of all eligible voters) vote against the bill then it is immediately dismissed and returned to the House of Commons. After one month if the bill is not defeated then it will become the law of the land. The same will apply to all nine Provincial Legislatures and the National Assembly of Quebec.
If the Prime Minister wishes for a bill to go into effect immediately after passage by the House of Commons, he will sign it before sending the bill to the Parliament of Personal Representatives for their consideration. Although the bill will go into effect immediately upon his signature and must be obeyed, it will not be fully or completely law legally or constitutionally until the one month period has passed. There is no choice here. In order to be law a bill must stand before the Will of 100% of the People of Canada who are eligible to vote and each eligible voter must be able to freely express their will on that bill if they want to. If either of these two conditions are not met then the bill is not law.
If 50% plus 1 of the Personal Representatives vote against the bill, the Prime Minister's signature is immediately rescinded and the bill is voided. However, if the Prime Minister is willing to wait for the maximum one month approval period then he can send the bill unsigned to the Parliament of Personal Representatives.
Although not a necessary part of the process of The Personal Representative, it is my view that if the Personal Representatives in any Province voted by an overwhelming majority in their Provincial Legislature of Personal Representatives against any bill proposed by the Federal Parliament then that bill should not apply to that province. For example, if Albertans voted by 55% to 60% or more of all eligible voters against the gun legislation then the gun regulations would not apply to Alberta. This is a very high standard of opposition. If this kind of intense democratic opposition exists in any province against a bill, then it should be respected and dealt with through good faith negotiations until a compromise solution is crafted. The days are over when one part of the country due to its population size can force its will on a weaker member of the Federation.
The Prime Minister will no longer be able to railroad bills down the throats of the People. If challenged on a bill, he will have to be a true leader and go before the People and explain to them the reasons why he supported the bill and why they must support the bill.
The second most important function of the Parliament of Personal Representatives will be to select individual Personal Representatives who are hired through the election process to become members of the Elected Parliament. Upon their election, these Personal Representatives will vacate their seats in the Parliament of Personal Representatives and take up their seats in the Parliament of Canada.
