Question 62382 asked on 2009-09-14 22:12:14: On the topic of maternity leave, is there any information (law, pamphlet, website, current book [last 2 years]) about volunteering or working while on maternity leave? We both work for the same employer. One position is a on-site managerial position, which I am the sole contracted employee for. My wife is a general employee. Our employer says that, while on maternity leave, my wife cannot "appear" to be volunteering or working while on mat. leave. The research I have done involved visiting the Government of Alberta website and looking through any/all materials on maternity leave. I found nothing to support or discredit our employers statement. I would appreciate any resources, though I am specifically hoping for something that exists on the Internet or in print that will confirm a yes or no as to my wife's volunteering/working.

Question 62726 asked on 2009-09-24 15:20:30: I rent my condo and received a letter from the condo board requesting an extra $250.00 as a "Special Assessment" as of June. Unfortunately, due to the fact that the renter has not been paying regularly, money is tight. Today I recieved another letter saying that if I didn't pay in 10 days they would add an extra $50.00 fee. Is this not illegal? That's a 25% interest and would be considered loansharking!This is over and above condo fees they keep increasing yearly even though the economy has taken a dive and they have not improved any services, making it impossible to try to sell! They have also left disrepair for over 6 months due to flooding from the apt. above and have done nothing to fix it!I feel like I have no rights!It's worse than renting!

My Question: In Alberta, Canada, many lawyers have been granted an honorary "Q.C" title which stands for "Queen's Counsel". In the past, when a King ruled, the title was "K.C" for King's Counsel.

Edmonton, AB Canada T5R 0Z2 ......................................................... Answer (posted 2010-01-29 14:40:56) Hello and thank you for your question about whether or not the designation QC changes to KC when the reigning monarch changes from a female to a male. We spoke to staff at the both the Provincial Court of Appeal and the Lieutenant Governor's office about this question and staff were unable to provide a definitive answer. The Canadian Encyclopedia online states that the use of the terms QC or KC is determined by the gender of the current sovereign. No mention is made of changing the title when the monarchy passes from one gender to another. Here is a link to the article. http://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.com/index.cfm?PgNm=TCE&Params=A1ARTA0006610 We located an example of the designation changing from KC to QC in apparent accordance to a change in the monarchy. Here is a list of the Styles and Honours of Reginald Manningham-Buller, 1st Viscount Dilhorne. We noted that KC changes to QC at the time Queen Elizabeth was crowned. Please note this information is from the Wikipedia, not a published source. Mr Reginald Manningham-Buller (1905-1943) Mr Reginald Manningham-Buller MP (1943-1947) Mr Reginald Manningham-Buller KC MP (1947-1951) Sir Reginald Manningham-Buller KC MP (1951-1952) Sir Reginald Manningham-Buller QC MP (1952-1954) The Rt. Hon. Sir Reginald Manningham-Buller QC MP (1954-1956) The Rt. Hon. Sir Reginald Manningham-Buller, Bt. QC MP (1956-1962) The Rt. Hon. The Lord Dilhorne QC PC (1962-1964) The Rt. Hon.

ANSWER: From:(name removed) Date: February 2, 2010 6:48:04 AM MST (CA) Subject: RE: When QC changes to KC Dear Mr (name removed), Your question regarding the status of the title Queen's Counsel when the monarch is a King has been passed to me as the Ministry of Justice official responsible for QC policy. It is convention that upon a King taking to the throne the title QC will automatically become one of Kings Counsel (KC) both for those currently appointed QC and for future appointees. I hope this answers your query.

He is worried about the apparent “rightward” drift but still thinks Canada is a “better place.” I'm writing from the Princeton Public Library in Princeton NJ, USA but my parents live in Calgary. Thank you.
