    Ted Opitz Member of Parliament Etobicoke Centre MP Ted Opitz Celebrates the Anniversary of the Polish Constitution in Toronto. (TORONTO, May 7, 2012) On Sunday, May 6th MP Ted Opitz (Etobicoke Centre) participated in celebrations commemorating the 221st anniversary of the Polish Constitution. The festivities began with a mass at St. Stanislaus Church and were followed by a gathering at the Polish Combatants’ Association, where participants marched to Queen’s Park to raise the Polish flag in front of the Ontario Legislature. Representatives of various Polish-Canadian associations in attendance included the Polish Canadian Women’s Federation, the Polish Combatants’ Association, and Polish Scouts. Also present was Mrs. Teresa Berezowski, President of the Canadian Polish Congress (CPC). The march was organized by the Toronto branch of the CPC, headed by Mr. Juliusz Kirejczyk. The Polish Constitution is the second modern national constitution in the world. Adopted on May 3rd, 1791, it was Europe’s first democratic constitution, and ratified only four years after the American Constitution. Commemorating this event is of particular significance to Polish-Canadians as it honours Poland’s long-standing battle for democracy and freedom. The event also celebrates modern Poland as a free, democratic, and prosperous European ally to Canada. “I am honoured to celebrate this anniversary with fellow Polish Canadians, with whom I share the same heritage. Poland is a great example of a country that fought for individual freedom and is a valuable friend of Canada’s,” Mr. Opitz commented. MP Ted Opitz (Etobicoke Centre) speaking in front of the Ontario Legislature in Toronto on the occasion of the anniversary of the Polish Constitution.

  • Confronting Sexual Misconduct I
    Foreword Instances of sexual misconduct strike at the heart of the most important component of the Canadian Armed Forces: its members. The personal and institutional damage that results from sexual misconduct can be acute; sexual misconduct, almost invariably, leaves both indelible traces and profound scars on victims and the institution alike—including by impairing organizational efficiency. Some cases of sexual misconduct make the headlines, others not. That this problem is part of the culture of the Canadian Armed Forces could not come as a surprise to soldiers, seamen and aviators. However, society, including the Canadian Armed Forces, evolves. Changing an organization’s culture, though challenging, is possible. In the days following the submission of the External Review Report on 27 March 2015, the leadership of the Canadian Armed Forces accepted the Report’s first recommendation: to acknowledge the existence of the problem. This early step may appear deceptively easy. In reality, it had significant consequences. Most importantly, it has meant that the leadership has had to take concrete action to address the problem. The work accomplished to date is described in this First Progress Report. To the members and victims, I ask for patience. Establishing a new structure to respond more effectively to complaints of sexual misconduct and to support victims was a passage obligé, but not the goal. The Sexual Misconduct Response Centre is a means to respond effectively to sexual misconduct, not an end itself. The next steps will raise more difficult challenges, such as modifying ingrained attitudes and rebuilding trust. In addition, although the organization has unique needs, the Canadian Armed Forces are part of a broader environment that includes the Ministry of National Defence and the Treasury Board with which some policy adjustments must be coordinated.
