The Canadian Approach to the Development of Communications by Satellite in the 12-GHz Band

Abstract: WARC-79 made significant changes to how the 12-GHz band will be used in Region 2. In particular, it decided that the 12-GHz band in Region 2 will extend upwards the 12.7 GHz, and that the upper portion of the overall band (11.7 to 12.7 GHz), will be planned at the 1983 Regional Conference. The paper describes these allocation changes and how satellite systems are being developed in Canada under these new Regulations.

Impartiality of the Chair: Politics versus Convention in New Brunswick's 55th Legislature

Abstract: This paper will examine the nature of Speaker impartiality within the British Parliamentary system by examining the political involvement and the casting vote of Speakers. This will attempt to historically contextualize the role of the Speaker in the province of New Brunswick and explain the institutional circumstances of the unusual conduct of Speakers Bev Harrison and Michael ‘Tanker’ Malley during the third session of the 55th Legislative Assembly. This paper argues that the source of this irregularity was the close seat count between opposition and government members. This issue illustrates the difficulties of smaller Legislative Assemblies reaching the convention established by the British Parliament respecting the impartiality of a Speaker where a Speaker is apolitical, thereby divorced from partisan politics. In the British convention, which serves as the fount of parliamentary practice, the Speaker refrains from any active political involvement, and in return the Speaker is uncontested in upcoming parliamentary elections.

Canadian Regulation of Space Activities

Abstract: The purpose of this chapter is to provide a historical illustration of Canada’s policy making related to space activities as well as an examination of contemporary Canadian laws related to space. The chapter begins with a brief discussion on the role of policy documents produced and published by the Canadian government before examining the most significant Canadian space policy documents published over the last fifty-plus years (from the 1967 Chapman Report to the 2019 Strategy). The chapter then highlights the observable trends, clear focusses and critical omissions discernable from a holistic examination of Canada’s space policy documents. The chapter then examines existing Canadian space laws (both those that regulate specific space activities as well as those that are related to space activities) before providing a brief commentary on the successes, failures and potential opportunities for space law in Canada.
