Description
This article explains the process currently used by the federal executive to reorganize itself, then questions whether the resulting transfer of responsibility between ministers of the Crown for the exercise of statutory powers is sufficiently transparent. It explains that the method used to reorganize the federal public administration often results in a transfer of legal authority for the exercise of statutory powers from one minister to another. However, this occurs in a manner that may be very difficult to trace. Following a reorganization of government, it may be difficult to ascertain which minister of the Crown has legal authority and responsibility for the exercise of powers that may have important effect on individual rights or interests. It argues that this offends the principles of the rule of raw and responsible government, and concludes by suggesting some avenues of possible reform. Cet article decrit la procedure qu'utilise actuellement l'executif federal pour restructurer son administration et cherche a determiner si le transfert de responsabilites qui s'ensuit entre les ministres dans l'exercice des pouvoirs conferes par la loi est suffisamment transparent. L'auteur explique que cette methode de restructuration de la fonction publique federale entraine souvent un transfert d'un ministre l'autre, et pas toujours tangible, de l'autorisation legale d'exercer des pouvoirs conferes par la loi. Apres une reorganisation administrative, il peut etre difficile de dire avec certitude quel ministre federal est legalement autorise et responsable d'exercer des pouvoirs qui peuvent avoir des repercussions importantes sur les droits ou les interets individuels. L'auteur soutient que cela entre en conflit avec les principes de la primaute du droit et du gouvernement responsable, puis suggere en conclusion quelques avenues de reforme possibles.
