Right Honourable

[edit]

"is one of only a few Canadians ever granted the title The Right Honourable who was not so entitled by virtue of a position held." - Surely he was granted this by virtue of his position on the Privy Council? Which is generally the reason one is a Rt. Hon.--Couter-revolutionary 11:23, 27 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Nope. See the Right Honourable article. -Joshuapaquin 13:32, 27 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Dean

[edit]

How could Herb Gray have been Dean of the House from 1988-2002 if he served in cabinet at points during that period?(UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.237.188.186 (talk)

Canadian Cabinet ministers sit in the Commons, so his period in Cabinet didn't interrupt his time in the House. Mr Serjeant Buzfuz (talk) 00:25, 21 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

First Jewish Cabinet Minister

[edit]

Barney Dansons Article on wikipedia states, he was born into a jewish family and served as Minister of National Defence in the 70s. So either the definition of jewish in this article is another one, than beeing born to a jewish mother, which is the formal definition, according to the Article on Judaism on wikipedia: "According to Rabbinic Judaism, a Jew is anyone who was either born of a Jewish mother or who converted to Judaism in accordance with Jewish Law." or the article is wrong for this matter. 86.56.100.60 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 02:51, 26 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Grey first entered Cabinet in as Minister without portfolio in 1969. Danson entered Cabinet as Minister of State for Urban Affairs in 1974. So the article is correct that Grey was the first Jewish Cabinet minister. Mr Serjeant Buzfuz (talk) 00:25, 21 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
