Consideration for Supports in Windsor-Essex Agri-Community
January 19, 2021 Justin Trudeau, Prime Minister of Canada Office of the Prime Minister 80 Wellington Street Ottawa, ON K1A 0A2 [email protected] Doug Ford, Premier of the Province of Ontario Assembly of Ontario, Office of the Premier Legislative Building, Queen’s Park – Room 281 Toronto, Ontario, M7A 1A1 [email protected] Re: Consideration for supports in Windsor-Essex Agri-Community At the urging of local health care leaders and municipal officials in Windsor and Essex County, representatives of all three levels of government have been meeting to address a looming crisis. As reported by Essex-Windsor EMS and hospital officials, our local healthcare capacity in Windsor and Leamington hospitals is approaching its limits, with over 20% of the pressures coming from the agricultural sector. As anecdotal evidence, patients are being transferred to Windsor Regional Hospital, Chatham-Kent Health Alliance, Blue water Health Systems (Sarnia) and London Health Sciences Centre, and a temporary morgue has been put in place in Windsor. Agriculture is a fundamental component of our local economy and being the most southern part of Canada, we are usually the first to begin the annual cycle of crop production. Our local greenhouse sector has just welcomed the first 600-700 Temporary Foreign Workers this past week, with an additional 2,000 expected in the next several weeks. By June 2021, this region will have accepted over 15% of the 66,000 guest workers expected into Canada. Unbelievably, even this large number is not enough workers to fill the labour market. Unfortunately, a large, undocumented work force also fills this void in our labour market. -

May 8th, 2018 Honourable Catherine McKenna Minister of Environment and Climate Change Canada Government of Canada 200 Sacre-Coeur Boulevard Fontaine Building Gatineau, QC K1A 0H3 Honourable James Carr Minister of Natural Resources Government of Canada 580 Booth Street, 21st Floor, Room C7-1 Ottawa, ON K1A 0E4 Re: Ontario Alliance of First Nations and Non-First Nations Request Meeting on the Development of Socio-Economic Impact Analysis to Support Fair, Transparent, and Evidence-Based Species at Risk Policy Hon. Minister McKenna and Hon. Minister Carr, An Alliance of First Nations and non-First Nations leaders representing rights holders, stakeholders, municipal leaders, unions, and Ontario's forest sector was formed in 2017 to defend a way of life, with a mandate to grow the responsible use of natural resources in Northern and Rural Ontario. Alliance members represent over 350 Ontario communities, over 500,000 unionized employees from across the country, several First Nations, and 38 forest product companies and forest managers. Alliance members are concerned about the potential social, economic, and environmental impacts of species at risk (SAR) policy and, in particular, the current direction being proposed for managing and conserving caribou. The Government of Ontario has taken these concerns very seriously and have committed to achieving a better understanding of the impacts of climate change on SAR, the cumulative impacts of all SAR on a broad, dynamic landscape, and a much better appreciation of the socio-economic impacts. However, delivering on this commitment will take time. The Alliance remains very concerned that the window of opportunity being provided by the Ontario Government is now being placed into jeopardy by our Federal Government. -

Joint Statement Calling for Sanctioning of Chinese and Hong Kong Officials and Protection for Hong Kongers at Risk of Political Persecution
Joint statement calling for sanctioning of Chinese and Hong Kong officials and protection for Hong Kongers at risk of political persecution We, the undersigned, call upon the Government of Canada to take action in light of the mass arrests and assault on civil rights following the unilateral imposition of the new National Security Law in Hong Kong. Many in Hong Kong fear they will face the same fate as the student protestors in Tiananmen Square, defenders’ lawyers, and millions of interned Uyghurs, Tibetans, and faith groups whose rights of free expression and worship are denied. We urge the Government of Canada to offer a “Safe Harbour Program” with an expedited process to grant protection and permanent residency status to Hong Kongers at risk of political persecution under the National Security Law, including international students and expatriate workers who have been involved in protest actions in Canada. Furthermore, Canada must invoke the Sergei Magnitsky Law to sanction Chinese and Hong Kong officials who instituted the National Security Law, as well as other acts violating human rights; and to ban them and their immediate family members from Canada and freeze their Canadian assets. Canada needs to work closely with international allies with shared values to institute a strong policy toward China. It is time for Canada to take meaningful action to show leadership on the world stage.
