Home > Peace, Order and Good Government

In Canada, the phrase peace, order and good government (in French, paix, d'ordre et de bon gouvernement) is often used to describe the

principles upon which that country's confederation took place. Originally used in the Constitution Act, 1867 enacted by the United Kingdom, it defined the principles under which a Canadian Parliament should legislate.

“Peace, order and good government” has become meaningful to Canadians and defines Canadian values in a way that is comparable to “ liberté, égalité, fraternité” (liberty, equality, fraternity) in France or “ life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness” in the United States.
