  • The Honourable Maryam Monsef Minister for Women and Gender Equality Government of Canada
    The Honourable Maryam Monsef Minister for Women and Gender Equality Government of Canada Dear Minister Monsef: As we write, evidence continues to mount about the gendered impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic in Canada. From increased risk of violence under lockdown in abusive homes, to expanded caregiving for children out of school and at-risk vulnerable adults, to a majority presence in front-line health care, social and other service sectors, women are front and centre when it comes to impacts of and response to the pandemic. Thank you for what you have already done and the speedy response to the GBV crisis. Your government has committed to ensuring a feminist approach to all policymaking, and this is evident in your immediate response to provide emergency funding to shelters and sexual assault centres who are experiencing increases in demand because of the impact of isolation and uncertainty on gender-based violence. We thank you for these measures and want to encourage you to put the commitment to gender analysis fully into practice, especially given the gendered impact of this pandemic. Emergency response measures and recovery planning need to include substantive gender equality standards and intersectional feminist approaches to ensure that all government action takes into account those most impacted and those most at risk. Special emphasis is needed on the reality that different groups of women in all their diversity and marginalization are experiencing different impacts, requiring specific and targeted responses – such as women with disabilities dependent on caregivers, First Nations, Métis and Inuit women living in over-crowded and substandard housing, racialized women providing care services in precarious employment situations, women who are homeless or have precarious immigration status.

    The Right to Authentic Political Communication by Ann Elizabeth Rees M.A., Simon Fraser University, 2005 B.A., Simon Fraser University, 1980 Dissertation Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the School of Communication Faculty of Arts and Social Science Ann Elizabeth Rees 2016 SIMON FRASER UNIVERSITY Spring 2016 Approval Name: Ann Elizabeth Rees Degree: Doctor of Philosophy Title: The Right to Authentic Political Communication Examining Committee: Chair: Katherine Reilly, Assistant Professor Peter Anderson Senior Supervisor Associate Professor Catherine Murray Supervisor Professor Alison Beale Supervisor Professor Andrew Heard Internal Examiner Associate Professor Political Science Department Paul Thomas External Examiner Professor Emeritus Department of Political Studies University of Manitoba Date Defended/Approved: January 22, 2016 ii Abstract Increasingly, governments communicate strategically with the public for political advantage, seeking as Christopher Hood describes it to “avoid blame” and “claim credit” for the actions and decisions of governance. In particular, Strategic Political Communication (SPC) is becoming the dominant form of political communication between Canada’s executive branch of government and the public, both during elections and as part of a “permanent campaign” to gain and maintain public support as means to political power. This dissertation argues that SPC techniques interfere with the public’s ability to know how they are governed, and therefore undermines the central right of citizens in a democracy to legitimate elected representation by scrutinizing government and holding it to account. Realization of that right depends on an authentic political communication process that provides citizens with an understanding of government. By seeking to hide or downplay blameworthy actions, SPC undermines the legitimation role public discourse plays in a democracy.

  • News Release
    News Release For immediate release Government of Canada Helps Saskatchewan Forage Industry Fight Off Pests Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, April 19, 2012 – The Government of Canada is helping the forage industry minimize and eliminate the damaging impact of parasites, diseases, and invasive plant species on Saskatchewan agriculture. The Honourable Lynne Yelich, Minister of State (Western Economic Diversification) and Member of Parliament (Blackstrap), on behalf of Agriculture Minister Gerry Ritz, announced today an investment of up to $290,000 for two projects in Saskatchewan that will help fight forage pests. “Our government is committed to investing in research-based innovations that will help Canadian producers stay ahead of the curve and maximize business opportunities,” said Minister Yelich. “These investments will help Saskatchewan producers control invasive plant species and open up new forage markets, all while continuing to supply top-quality feed to our livestock producers.” These projects will identify threats and provide information to minimize their impact on the industry and economy. They will provide solutions for these potential problems, enhance current markets, and provide new opportunities for those directly tied to the forage industry and those whose crops benefit from pollination by bees. The investment is divided between two projects. The Saskatchewan Alfalfa Seed Producers Development Commission is receiving up to $196,775 to investigate technologies for the control of parasites and disease that affect the alfalfa leafcutter bee (ALB). The ALB is the primary pollinator for alfalfa seed production, and it is also used as a pollinator for other crops. Parasites and disease pose a threat to ALB populations, which are required for the pollination of these crops.
