Excerpt from A Complete and Revised Edition of the Debate on the Jesuits' Estates Act: In the House of Commons, Ottawa, March, 1889
I beg, Sir, to move in amendment:
That all after the word "That" he left out, and the following inserted in lieu thereof: "Mr. Speaker do not now leave the Chair, but that it be resolved, that an humble Address be presented to His Excellency the Governor General, setting forth: 1. That this House regards the power of disallowing the Acts of the Legislative Assemblies of the Provinces, vested in His Excellency in Council, as a prerogative essential to the national existence of the Dominion; 2. That this great power, while it should never be wantonly exercised, should be fearlessly used for the protection of the rights of a minority, for the preservation of the fundamental principles of the Constitution, and for safe-guarding the general interests of the people; 3. That in the opinion of this House, the passage by the Legislature of tho Province of Quebec of the Act entitled 'An Act respecting the settlement of the Jesuits' Estates' is beyond the power of that Legislature. Firstly, because it endows from public funds a religious organization, thereby violating the undoubted constitutional principle of the complete separation of Church and State and of the absolute equality of all denominations before the law. Secondly, because it recognizes the usurpation of a right by a foreign authority, namely, His Holiness the Pope of Rome, to claim that his consent was necessary to empower the Provincial Legislature to dispose of a portion of the public domain, and also because the Act is made to depend upon the will, and the appropriation of the grant thereby made as subject to the control of the same authority. And, thirdly, because the endowment of the Society of Jesus, an alien, secret and politico-religious body, the expulsion of which from every Christian community wherein it has had a footing has been rendered necessary by its intolerant and mischievous intermeddling with the functions of civil government, is fraught with danger to the civil and religious liberties of the people of Canada. And this House, therefore, prays that His Excellency will be graciously pleased to disallow the said Act."
I should like to say, in the first place, that, in addressing the House upon this question, which I shall do as briefly as possible, I desire to avoid as far as may be what may be called its religious side, and to confine myself to its constitutional and political aspect. I would further say that I would not have undertaken the serious responsibility of bringing before the House a subject of so delicate a nature, attended with so many difficulties, and so likely to give rise to angry feelings, and possibly to acrimonious discussion, wore it not for the very strong sense which I have of what is duo to my own convictions on the subject, as well as to tho convictions of those whom I represent in this House, and, I will venture to say. to the convictions of the majority of the people of Canada. Now, Sir, one word with regard to my own position in the matter. Had the resolution or any resolutions by my hon. friend the member for North Victoria (Mr. Barron) come before this House in such a shape as to meet tho wishes of those who think as I do on this subject, or had they come at such a period in tho Session as to have given reason for tho probability of a discussion, I should not have interfered.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book analyzes the controversy surrounding a provincial law concerning the Jesuit order in Quebec, passed in 1888. The author presents select debates from the Canadian House of Commons to provide a historical account of the discussion over whether or not the Canadian Governor General should disallow this law. In doing so, the author explores themes of religion, education, minority rights, and governance, all within a historical context. The author argues that the law was a violation of the Canadian constitution and that disallowance was warranted, shedding light on the complex relationship between church and state within the Canadian constitutional framework. Ultimately, this book provides valuable insights into the delicate balance between religious freedom and the separation of church and state. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
