    5351 Camosun Street Vancouver, British Columbia V6N 2C4 January 6, 2006 The Honourable Colin Hansen BY FAX MLA for Vancouver-Quilchena 5640 Dunbar Street Vancouver, British Columbia V6N 1W7 Dear Mr. Hansen: Re: November 17, 2005 Meeting at Quilchena Elementary School I would like to thank you, both personally and on behalf of our PAC, for initiating and attending the above-noted meeting with elementary school PAC representatives in Vancouver-Quilchena. We believe meetings such as these are an excellent opportunity for MLAs to gain a sense of opinion and issues in their constituencies. We hope you left the meeting with a new sense of what parents are experiencing in their children’s schools. From a PAC perspective, we found it enlightening to discover and perhaps reinforce that our concerns are not in isolation and that parents, in fact, share many of the same issues. We do hope that you have been able to act upon our requests to take our concerns to the Minister of Education. To refresh your recollection of our discussions during the meeting, the following is a list of comments and questions we specifically asked you to take to the Minister: We hope that the education roundtable will indeed be a step in the right direction to repair damaged relationships among some education stakeholders. The views of parents in our corner of the city are not well-represented by BCCPAC, even though they are the parent voice given a place at the roundtable. Should providing suitable, safe playgrounds be a function of government funding since play is

  • The Politics of Consumption Tax Reform
    Playing with Fiscal Fire: The Politics of Consumption Tax Reform by Matthew Lesch A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Political Science University of Toronto © Copyright by Matthew Lesch 2018 Playing with Fiscal Fire: The Politics of Consumption Tax Reform Matthew Lesch Doctor of Philosophy Political Science University of Toronto Abstract 2018 Drawing on the case of consumption tax reform, this dissertation investigates the varying capacity of governments to enact and institutionalize ―general-interest reforms‖ (Patashnik 2003). The study advances a two-stage theory of policy reform. The first part explains why some governments, in spite of the political risks, decide to pursue general-interest reforms. In this first stage, two variants of policy learning—rational learning and emulation—are proposed to explain policy uptake. The second stage of the theory builds on policy feedback scholarship (Pierson 1993;Mettler and SoRelle 2014), claiming that the durability of a reform hinges on policy design. It proposes that governments can prompt various policy feedback effects through policy design and communications. Such efforts can shape the political incentives and perceptions of interest groups, opposition parties and voters at key junctures in the policy process. The study illustrates the analytic value of this approach through two distinct but complementary empirical strategies. First, through comparative case analysis using mainly qualitative techniques of elite interviews and document analysis, it compares the varying experiences of two Canadian provincial governments— Ontario and British Columbia (BC)—with value-added tax (VAT) reform. While each government chose to pursue VAT reform in the late 2000s, only in the case of Ontario was it successfully implemented while the BC government was forced to reverse its policy decision.
