Rapport De Mission RAPPORT DE MISSION OTTAWA – 21 FÉVRIER 2017 DÉLÉGATION Inspirée par le succès de la visite à Ottawa organisée l’an passé, la Fédé- ration québécoise des municipalités (FQM) a renouvelé l’expérience en organisant une seconde visite des parlementaires fédéraux le 21 février dernier. Cette visite avait pour but de présenter aux membres de la Chambre des communes les priorités politiques de la FQM. Pour l’occasion, la FQM avait constitué une délégation regroupant neuf élus municipaux dont : M. Richard Lehoux Président de la FQM, préfet de la MRC de la Nouvelle-Beauce et maire de Saint-Elzéar M. Yvon Soucy Vice-président de la FQM, préfet de la MRC de Kamouraska Mme Lyz Beaulieu Préfète de la MRC d’Antoine-Labelle et mairesse de Notre-Dame-de-Pontmain M. Arnaud Warolin Préfet de la MRC de Témiscamingue M. Jacques Asselin Maire de La Doré M. Larry Bernier Maire de Lac-Édouard M. Michel Grosleau Maire de Saint-Prosper-de-Champlain M. Gilbert Pigeon Maire de Saint-Eugène-de-Ladrière M. Martin Thibert Maire de Saint-Sébastien. Les maires et préfets étaient accompagnés de membres du personnel de la FQM, dont : M. Sylvain Lepage Directeur général M. Patrick Émond Directeur, Recherches et politiques M. Mathieu Le Blanc Conseiller, Relation avec les médias RAPPORT DE MISSION 2 PARLEMENTAIRES RENCONTRÉS L’Honorable Diane Lebouthillier • Ministre du Revenu national et députée de la Gaspésie – Les Îles-de-la-Madeleine Rémi Massé • Député d’Avignon – La Mitis – Matane – Matapédia Denis Lemieux • Député de Chicoutimi – Le Fjord Marc Miller • Secrétaire parlementaire du ministre de l’Infrastructure et des Collectivités et député de Ville-Marie – Le Sud-Ouest – Île-des-Sœurs Denis Lebel • Chef adjoint, député de Roberval – Lac-Saint-Jean Alain Rayes • Député de Richmond – Arthabaska Bernard Généreux • Député de Montmagny – L’Islet – Kamouraska – Rivière-du-Loup Luc Berhold • Député de Mégantic – L’Érable Robert Aubin • Député de Trois-Rivières Brigitte Sansoucy • Député de Saint-Hyacinthe – Bagot Rhéal Fortin • Député de Rivière-du-Nord Monique Pauzé • Députée de Repentigny Luc Thériault • Député de Montcalm Michel Boudrias • Député de Terrebonne RAPPORT DE MISSION 3 DES THÉMATIQUES IMPORTANTES ABORDÉES La présence de la délégation de la FQM à Ottawa fut l’occasion d’aborder quatre grandes thématiques dont : L’industrie forestière et le bois d’œuvre Les programmes d’infrastructures L’accessibilité à Internet haute vitesse et la couverture cellulaire Les problématiques de chevauchement de juridiction avec le gouvernement fédéral Relativement au bois d’œuvre et aux forêts, les élu(e)s de la FQM ont demandé la création d’un programme de garantie de prêts pour parer à l’imposition de droits compensatoires et de mesures antidumping par les États-Unis. Ils ont également traité de la spécificité du modèle de gestion de la forêt québécoise et ont demandé que le gouvernement se porte à la défense de celui-ci, notamment en ce qui concerne la ques- tion du caribou forestier. Les députés libéraux, dont la ministre du Revenu national, se sont montrés très réceptifs aux demandes de la FQM considérant l’importance des retombées des activités forestières pour les régions. En ce qui a trait aux programmes d’infrastructures, les élu(e)s de la FQM ont demandé que soit lancée une deuxième phase d’investissement visant les infrastructures d’eau. On se rappellera que le Fonds pour l’eau potable et le traitement des eaux usées (FEPTEU), annoncé à l’été 2016, avait suscité un vif intérêt. Malheureusement, sa grande popularité avait fait en sorte que plusieurs municipalités n’avaient pu déposer leur demande. Par ailleurs, les membres de la délégation de la FQM ont réclamé que soit intégré à ce nouveau programme d’investissement un volet pour la mise aux normes des systèmes de traitement pour les rési- dences isolées. Quant au Programme Fonds des petites collectivités, des modifications ont été demandées aux critères afin d’adapter ceux-ci aux besoins des municipalités rurales. Il fut notamment question d’abaisser la limite de 100 000 habitants et moins et de majorer la contribution du gouvernement fédéral. RAPPORT DE MISSION 4 Les élus libéraux et conservateurs ont démontré beaucoup d’ouver- ture aux propositions des élu(e)s de la FQM, dont celles visant la révision des critères et l’inclusion des investissements visant la mise aux normes des installations septiques. Quant à l’accessibilité au réseau Internet haute vitesse et à la téléphonie cellulaire, les élu(e)s de la FQM ont demandé que le gouvernement fédé- ral majore les subventions disponibles à 100 M $ par année pendant 5 ans. Les maires et préfets ont mentionné qu’il ne s’agissait pas d’une dépense, mais bien d’un investissement. Il fut également question de la décision du Conseil de la radiodiffusion et des télécommunications canadiennes (CRTC) de déclarer l’internet haute vitesse comme étant un service de base. Sur la question de l’accessibilité à Internet, les députés conservateurs et néo-démocrates ont démontré de l’intérêt à collaborer avec la FQM à cibler davantage les besoins et les priorités. Ils ont reconnu la perti- nence et la nécessité des investissements dans ce secteur. Concernant les problématiques de chevauchement de juridiction avec le gouvernement fédéral, les élu(e)s de la FQM ont abordé diverses situa- tions, dont l’implantation d’aérodromes et de tours de télécommunica- tions. Il fut aussi question de la réglementation fédérale sur la navigation de plaisance et de la difficulté pour les municipalités de réglementer la vitesse des embarcations sur les plans d’eau. Sur ces aspects, les dépu- tés du Bloc québécois ont offert leur pleine collaboration afin que les juridictions des municipalités soient respectées et que des mécanismes d’harmonisation soient mis en place. ÉCHOS RÉGIONAUX À LA VISITE DE LA FQM La visite de la délégation de la FQM à Ottawa a eu de nombreux échos dans les différents médias régionaux. Plusieurs maires et préfets ont accordé des entrevues pour relater le fruit de leurs discussions avec les parlementaires fédéraux. Des articles ont notamment été publiés dans les journaux Le Nouvelliste, L’Avantage ainsi que sur l’Écho de La Tuque. À cela s’ajoute une couverture de Radio-Canada International et de nombreux reportages et nouvelles qui ont été diffusés sur les différentes chaînes régionales (Rimouski, Abitibi-Témiscamingue, Saguenay-Lac- Saint-Jean et Côte-Nord) du diffuseur public.

    Parliamentary Internship Programme 2020-21 Annual Report Annual General Meeting Canadian Political Science Association June 11, 2021 Dr. Paul Thomas Director Web: pip-psp.org Twitter: @PIP_PSP Instagram: @pip-psp Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ParlInternship/ PIP Annual Report 2021 Director’s Message I am delighted to present the Parliamentary Internship Programme’s (PIP) 2020-21 Annual Report to the Canadian Political Science Association (CPSA). The COVID-19 pandemic dramatically reshaped the experience of the 2020-21 internship cohort relative to previous years. Such changes began with a mostly-virtual orientation in September, and continued with remote work in their MP placements, virtual study tours, and Brown-Bag lunches over Zoom. Yet while limiting some aspects of the PIP experience, the pandemic provided opportunities as well. The interns took full advantage of the virtual format to meet with academics, politicians, and other public figures who were inaccessible to previous cohorts relying on in-person meetings. They also learned new skills for online engagement that will serve them well in the hybrid work environment that is emerging as COVID-19 recedes. One thing the pandemic could not change was the steadfast support of the PIP’s various partners. We are greatly indebted to our sponsors who chose to prioritize their contributions to PIPs despite the many pressures they faced. In addition to their usual responsibilities for the Programme, both the PIP’s House of Commons Liasion, Scott Lemoine, and the Programme Assistant, Melissa Carrier, also worked tirelessly to ensure that the interns were kept up to date on the changing COVID guidance within the parliamentary preccinct, and to ensure that they had access to the resources they needed for remote work.

  • Trudeau Attacks Calls to Close Borders: “There Is a Lot of Knee-Jerk Reaction That Isn’T Keeping People Safe”
    The road to Canada's COVID-19 outbreak, Pt. 3: timeline of federal government failure at border to slow the virus Author of the article: David Staples • Edmonton Journal Publishing date: April 3, 2020 • 29 minute read Prime Minister Justin Trudeau speaks from behind a podium bearing the hyperlink to a federal government website about the coronavirus disease during a press conference about COVID-19 in front of his residence at Rideau Cottage in Ottawa, on Sunday, March 22, 2020. JUSTIN TANG / THE CANADIAN PRESS Pt. 3, March: Trudeau attacks calls to close borders: “There is a lot of knee-jerk reaction that isn’t keeping people safe” COVID-19 exploded upon the world in March 2020, shutting down much of the economy in Europe and North America by mid-month, just as it had already done in Asia in January and February. But early in the month, the Liberal government in Ottawa clung to the notion that it must not close its borders to travellers, or quarantine them when they arrived, even as that was by then standard practice in Asia, and even as infection brought in by travellers were spreading in Canadian towns and cities. Yet by the end of the month, the Liberal policy did a complete about-face, shutting down our borders. In Parts 1 and 2, we looked at the multi-partisan in effort to dig in and question Canada‟s border policies on COVID-19. In Part. 3 of our series, the timeline is extended into March, detailing the key quotes and debates leading to the federal policy change.
