Le vote de censure, qu'on désigne aussi par le terme vote de défiance, met en cause la responsabilité du gouvernement et la confiance que les députés lui accordent. Un tel vote peut porter sur un projet de loi important, lié aux finances ou à la fiscalité, par exemple, ou encore sur une motion de censure, qu'on peut aussi appeler motion de défiance. Une motion de censure est une proposition déposée par un député de l'opposition qui met en cause la responsabilité du gouvernement et la confiance que les députés lui accordent.

In June 1995, the House passed a motion to establish a Special Joint Committee of the House and Senate to develop a Code of Conduct. The following month, the Senate passed a similar motion. More than 19 months later, the Committee presented to Parliament its proposed Code of Official Conduct. The Committee emphasized the following as important goals for the Code : the maintenance of public trust and confidence in Parliament, and the provision of guidance for Parliamentarians in how to reconcile their private interests with their public duties. Specific rules were proposed for Parliamentarians which would have prohibited them from furthering their own private interests or those of their families, and from using insider information; the rules would also have regulated the receipt of gifts and personal benefits, sponsored travel and contracting with the government. 1, record 9, English, - Special%20Joint%20Committee%20of%20the%20House%20and%20Senate

On ne doit pas confondre la motion de censure et la motion de blâme. La motion de blâme, une fois adoptée, n'entraîne pas nécessairement la démission du gouvernement ou de la personne visée, alors que la motion de censure, une fois adoptée, exige la démission du gouvernement. 3, record 10, French, - d%C3%A9poser%20une%20motion%20de%20censure

In Canada, Edmonton's Asian Heritage Month was founded in May 1998 and officially proclaimed by its Mayor, Bill Smith. It became the first ever in Canada to have its event officially recognized by a civic and, later, provincial, government. Three years later, in December 2001, the Senate of Canada passed a motion officially designating May as Asian Heritage Month in Canada. 1, record 11, English, - Asian%20Heritage%20Month

The Nuclear Fuel Waste Act is a major breakthrough in Canada for responsibly managing nuclear fuel waste over the long term. The legislation allows the Government of Canada to ensure that waste owners fully meet their financial responsibilities and carry out waste activities in a comprehensive, integrated and economically sound manner.... The Act also sets in motion a transparent process for the development of options for the long-term management of nuclear fuel waste and mechanisms to ensure public participation in decision-making processes on the proposed options. 3, record 14, English, - Nuclear%20Fuel%20Waste%20Act
