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 1, 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 1, French, - Accord%20de%20Charlottetown

Military judges adjudicate at courts martial and other military proceedings such as the judicial review of persons held in pre-trial custody.... The requirement for military judges to be independent of the military chain of command was set out by the Supreme Court of Canada in 1992 in its decision in R. v. Genereux. The necessary judicial hallmarks of security of tenure, financial and institutional independence for military judges are guaranteed in the National Defence Act. Military judges are appointed by the Governor in Council for a fixed term of five years, which is renewable upon the request of the military judge. Military judges are only removable by the Governor in Council upon the recommendation of an independent Inquiry Committee. 3, record 2, English, - military%20judge

Les juges militaires président les cours martiales et autres débats militaires tels que l'examen judiciaire de cas où la personne est emprisonnée avant la tenue de son procès [...] Les juges militaires doivent être indépendants de la chaîne de commandement militaire, comme l'a statué la Cour suprême du Canada dans l'arrêt R. c. Généreux. Les valeurs judiciaires fondamentales d'inamovabilité, d'indépendance financière et institutionnelle des juges militaires sont garanties par la Loi sur la défense nationale. Les juges militaires sont nommés par le gouverneur en conseil pour une période fixe de cinq ans. Le mandat est renouvelable pour des périodes de cinq ans supplémentaires, sur demande des juges. Ces derniers ne peuvent être démis que par le gouverneur en conseil, sur recommandation d'un Comité d'examen indépendant. 2, record 2, French, - juge%20militaire
