[edit] Canada - Spicer and Charest Commissions?

Came here looking for them, since there's no articles of their own; which I think there should be, perhaps more than older commissions like the Le Dain (which I recall in the anglophone media of the time as being spelled Ledain or LeDain in English); there's also the provincial royal commissions, which are many (at least here in BC - the Chant commission on education in the '60s comes to mind). Was surprised not even to find an article on Keith Spicer, but that's a different matter.Skookum1 04:08, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Category

Should a Category be set up for Royal Commissions? --LeftyG 02:36, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

What exactly is a Category? Is this a Wikipedia concept? It might be helpful to categorise the RCs by subject type: eg, social issues, corruption, crime, industrial events. Opal2 07:25, 26 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Mahon Commission

How could New Zealand's Mahon Commission have been "appealed" to the House of Lords? Surely any request for judicial review would have gone to the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council? Silverhelm 16:32, 11 December 2006 (UTC).

[edit] Can an RC be appealed?

Since a Royal Commission doesn't issue sentences, convictions, compensation orders, what can actually be appealed? Has it happened before? Opal2 09:04, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hong Kong

Should the Commissions set up by HKSAR be considered as "Royal Commissions"?--219.73.19.179 14:45, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
