Canada[modifica | modifica wikitesto]

In Canada, solo i responsabili dei più alti uffici pubblici possono fregiarsi del trattamento di "The Right Honourable" (Le très honorable è il termine francese usato dal governo federale). In precedenza, questo è stato in virtù della loro nomina al Privy Council of the United Kingdom. Tuttavia, gli appuntamenti canadesi al Privy British Council sono stati finiti da parte del governo di Lester Pearson.

Da allora, agli individui che detengono o hanno ricoperto, uno dei seguenti uffici viene assegnato il trattamento di Right Honourable a vita:

Il Governatore generale può conferire il trattamento a vita anche a canadesi illustri che non hanno ricoperto alcuna delle cariche per cui è previsto. Il trattamento è stato conferito alle seguenti persone:

  • Paul Joseph James Martin (1992) - cabinet minister (Minister of External Affairs), Member of Parliament, Senator and diplomat
  • Martial Asselin (1992) - federal cabinet minister, Member of Parliament, Senator (Speaker of the Senate) and Lieutenant Governor of Quebec
  • Ellen Fairclough (1992) - federal cabinet minister and Member of Parliament; first woman in Canadian politics ever appointed to cabinet
  • Jean-Luc Pépin (1992) - federal cabinet minister and Member of Parliament; Chair of Anti-Inflation Board and Co-Chair of unity taskforce
  • Alvin Hamilton (1992) - federal cabinet minister and Member of Parliament
  • Don Mazankowski (1992) - Deputy Prime Minister, federal cabinet minister and Member of Parliament
  • Jack Pickersgill (1992) - federal cabinet minister, Member of Parliament, and senior civil servant (Assistant Private Secretary and Special Assistant to the Prime Minister, Clerk of the Privy Council; Chair of the Canadian Transport Commission)
  • Robert Stanfield (1992) -federal Opposition Leader and Member of Parliament, provincial MLA and Premier of Nova Scotia
  • Herb Gray (2002) - Deputy Prime Minister, federal cabinet minister, and Member of Parliament; the longest-serving MP in Canadian history

Per i Governatori generali in carica è possibile usare anche l'appellativo "His/Her Excellency". I membri del Privy Council e del Senate ricevono il trattamento di "The Honourable". Il trattamento di Right Honourable non si applica ai funzionari di livello provinciale.

Before the style of Right Honourable came into use for all Canadian prime ministers, three prime ministers did not have the style as they were not members of the Privy Council of the United Kingdom. These three were the Hon. Alexander Mackenzie, the Hon. Sir John Abbott and the Hon. Sir Mackenzie Bowell.

Over the years, a number of prominent Canadians became members of the Privy Council of the United Kingdom and thus were entitled to use the style of Right Honourable, either because of their services in Britain (e.g. serving as envoys to London) or as members of the Imperial War Cabinet, or due to their prominence in the Canadian Cabinet. These include:

Irlanda[modifica | modifica wikitesto]

Members of the Privy Council of Ireland were entitled to be addressed as The Right Honourable, even after the Privy Council ceased to have any functions or to meet on the creation of the Irish Free State in December 1922. Nevertheless, the Lord Mayor of Dublin, like some of his counterparts in Great Britain, retained the use of the honorific style as a result of its having been conferred separately by legislation; in 2001 it was removed, as a consequence of local government law reform.

Nuova Zelanda[modifica | modifica wikitesto]

In New Zealand, the Prime Minister and some other senior cabinet ministers were customarily appointed to the Privy Council of the United Kingdom and thus styled The Right Honourable.[9][10] Senior New Zealand Judges are also often appointed as Privy Councillors.

In her resignation honours, the former prime minister Helen Clark did not recommend the appointment of any new Privy Councillors, and at present Winston Peters is the sole Privy Councillor in the New Zealand parliament. Privy Councillors recently retired from parliament include Clark, the former Speaker of the House Jonathan Hunt, and the former prime minister Jenny Shipley.[11] In 2009 it was announced that the new Prime Minister John Key had decided not to make any further recommendations to the Crown for appointments to the Privy Council.[12]

In August 2010, the Queen of New Zealand announced that, with immediate effect, individuals who hold, and those persons who after the date of the signing of these rules are appointed to, the following offices are awarded the style The Right Honourable for life:[9]

This change was made because the practice of appointing New Zealanders to the Privy Council of the United Kingdom had ceased. However, the change had little immediate effect, as all but two of the holders or living former holders of the offices granted the style had already been appointed to the Privy Council.[13]

The living New Zealanders holding the style "The Right Honourable" as a result of membership of the Privy Council are:

The living New Zealanders holding the style "The Right Honourable" for life as a result of the 2010 changes are:

Name Title Date Appointed
Sir Anand Satyanand Former Governor-General 2 August 2010
John Key Former Prime Minister
Sir Lockwood Smith Former Speaker of the House of Representatives
Sir Jerry Mateparae Former Governor-General 31 August 2011
David Carter Speaker of the House of Representatives 1 February 2013
Dame Patsy Reddy Governor-General 28 September 2016
Bill English Prime Minister 12 December 2016
