  • Directors'notice of New Business
    R-2 DIRECTORS’ NOTICE OF NEW BUSINESS To: Chair and Directors Date: January 16, 2019 From: Director Goodings, Electoral Area ‘B’ Subject: Composite Political Newsletter PURPOSE / ISSUE: In the January 11, 2019 edition of the Directors’ Information package there was a complimentary issue of a political newsletter entitled “The Composite Advisor.” The monthly newsletter provides comprehensive news and strategic analysis regarding BC Politics and Policy. RECOMMENDATION / ACTION: [All Directors – Corporate Weighted] That the Regional District purchase an annual subscription (10 issues) of the Composite Public Affairs newsletter for an amount of $87 including GST. BACKGROUND/RATIONALE: I feel the newsletter is worthwhile for the Board’s reference. ATTACHMENTS: January 4, 2019 issue Dept. Head: CAO: Page 1 of 1 January 31, 2019 R-2 Composite Public Affairs Inc. January 4, 2019 Karen Goodings Peace River Regional District Box 810 Dawson Creek, BC V1G 4H8 Dear Karen, It is my pleasure to provide you with a complimentary issue of our new political newsletter, The Composite Advisor. British Columbia today is in the midst of an exciting political drama — one that may last for the next many months, or (as I believe) the next several years. At present, a New Democratic Party government led by Premier John Horgan and supported by Andrew Weaver's Green Party, holds a narrow advantage in the Legislative Assembly. And after 16 years in power, the long-governing BC Liberals now sit on the opposition benches with a relatively-new leader in Andrew Wilkinson. B.C.'s next general-election is scheduled for October 2021, almost three years from now, but as the old saying goes: 'The only thing certain, is uncertainty." (The best political quote in this regard may have been by British Prime Minister Harold MacMillan who, asked by a reporter what might transpire to change his government's course of action, replied: "Events, dear boy, events." New research suggests that MacMillan never said it — but it's still a great quote!) Composite Public Affairs Inc.

  • Lessons from the Carbon Tax and the Harmonized Sales Tax in British Columbia and Ontario
    The effect of popular initiative and recall mechanisms on tax reforms: Lessons from the Carbon Tax and the Harmonized Sales Tax in British Columbia and Ontario By Geneviève Tellier, professor, School of Political Studies, University of Ottawa Paper presented at the Canadian Political Science Association Annual Conference, University of Calgary, May 31 – June 2, 2016 *please do not cite without permission from the author Abstract More and more, popular consultations and participation mechanisms are been viewed as an effective way to develop and implement better public policies. By seeking input and support from citizens, policymakers are able to design policies that are more responsive to the needs and desire of the population. However popular consultations can also lead to some undesired consequences. For instance, they afford new veto-power to some players that may be tempted to use them to further their own interests, which do not necessarily coincide with the general public interest. This was the case in B.C., when the government attempted to reform its sales tax by implementing a harmonized sales tax (HST), a value-added tax (VAT) that would be collected by the federal government simultaneously with its own VAT, the good and service tax (GST). Praise by tax experts and most businesses, the HST was nonetheless severely attack by some groups and high profile individuals that questioned its fairness. By examining the circumstances that led to the adoption and later the dismissal of the B.C. HST and comparing them to the adoption of other tax reforms in the country (namely the B.C.
