The Charlottetown Accord was a package of constitutional amendments, proposed by the Canadian federal and provincial governments in 1992. It was submitted to a public referendum on October 26 of that year, and was defeated. Unlike the Meech Lake Accord, the Charlottetown Accord's ratification process provided for a national referendum. Three provinces--British Columbia, Alberta and Quebec--had recently passed legislation requiring that constitutional amendments be submitted to a public referendum. As well, Quebec premier Robert Bourassa had pledged, contingent on the results of the Charlottetown negotiations, to hold a referendum that year on either Quebec independence or a new constitutional agreement. British Columbia and Alberta agreed to participate in the federal referendum, but Quebec opted to conduct its own separate vote.(For that reason, Quebeckers "temporarily" living outside the province could have two votes, since they were enumerated to the voters’ list based on federal rules, but people relatively new to Quebec could not vote at all because they had not established residency.) The Accord had to be approved not only by a majority of voters nationally, but also by a majority of voters in each province. If it failed in just one province, the accord would not pass.  1, record 5, English, - Charlottetown%20Accord

L'Accord de Charlottetown était un projet de réforme constitutionnelle proposé par le gouvernement fédéral canadien et les gouvernements provinciaux en 1992. Le projet a été rejeté par les Canadiens par voie de référendum le 26 octobre 1992. Contrairement à l'Accord du lac Meech, le processus de l'Accord de Charlottetown était un référendum national. Trois provinces, la Colombie-Britannique, l'Alberta et le Québec, avaient récemment adopté des lois obligeant tous les amendements constitutionnels à être soumis par référendum. De plus, suite aux négociations de Charlottetown, le premier ministre du Québec d'alors, Robert Bourassa, a affirmé qu'il tiendra un référendum soit sur un nouvel accord constitutionnel ou soit sur un Québec indépendant. La Colombie-Britannique et l'Alberta ont accepté de participer au référendum fédéral, mais le Québec a choisi de faire son propre vote séparé. (Pour cette raison, les Québécois vivant temporairement à l'extérieur du Québec avaient la possibilité de voter deux fois et ce légalement.) L'accord ne devait pas seulement être approuvé par une majorité de citoyens, mais aussi par la majorité de voteurs de chaque province. Si une seule province n'obtenait pas le fameux «50 % + 1 vote» pour Charlottetown, l'accord ne serait pas adopté.  1, record 5, French, - Accord%20de%20Charlottetown

British Executive Agencies. A good deal of the current Canadian thinking about alternative service delivery appears to be based on the British experience of Executive Agencies over the past decade. Briefly the British have moved over 70% of their civil service into arms-length agencies whose heads("chief executives") report to ministers rather than permanent secretaries. The British have achieved this without legislation by getting all-party agreement to the execution of service contracts between the chief executives and the relevant ministers. The purpose is to provide the agencies with greater autonomy and fewer centrally-prescribed management controls than is the case for a government department and to pass accountability for operations from the minister to the chief executive using Parliamentary select committees for the purpose.  1, record 6, English, - executive%20agency
