Target: To: The official leader of the opposition, Mrs.Nycole Turmel.
Region: Canada
Background (Preamble):
Before 1981 there were no honorary appointments to the Order of Canada, however the constitution was reviewed and amendments were applied. As currently honorary appointments to the Order of Canada are awarded.
In 1970 the constitution was reviewed, the advisory council considered amending the constitution of the Order of Canada, to allow the appointment of individuals posthumously "in exceptional cases". However the cabinet never did rule, instead the cabinet requested the matter be referred to the working group of Honours, where the request quickly lost momentum and was dropped.
