Couillard tapped André Fortin, a 35-year- old first-term backbencher, to head up the Transport Ministry only days before the deadline set by Uber to leave Quebec over the province›s stricter new regulations. He takes over from Laurent Lessard, who will retain his position as agriculture minister.

Monsieur le Lieutenant- Gouverneur, Monsieur le Secrétaire général et Greffier du Conseil exécutif, Monsieur le Secrétaire de l’Assemblée nationale, Membres des familles des ministres, Chers collègues, Chers amis, Aujourd’hui, je souhaite m’adresser directement à toutes les Québécoises et à tous les Québécois. *** Lors de l’assermentation de notre premier Conseil des ministres, je vous disais que depuis trop longtemps le Québec repoussait à plus tard le moment des décisions difficiles.

    Étude de l’impact de la réception des cadres médiatiques sur la genrisation de l’évaluation de la performance politique Thèse Catherine Lemarier-Saulnier Doctorat en communication publique Philosophiae doctor (Ph. D.) Québec, Canada © Catherine Lemarier-Saulnier, 2018 Résumé Cette thèse étudie la réception des nouvelles médiatiques genrées par les citoyens. À l’aide d’une approche multiméthodes et mixte, trois collectes de données ont été menées afin de comprendre la médiation des leaders politiques et son impact sur l’évaluation de ces derniers. La première est une analyse de contenu des cadres médiatiques sur les chef(fe)s de partis politiques provinciaux lors de l’élection québécoise de 2014. La seconde est une enquête en ligne, comprenant un questionnaire et une séance de listage d’idée à partir d’un article genré ou non. La troisième collecte est constituée de groupes de discussions réalisés un mois après la fin de la campagne avec un échantillon de participants de la seconde collecte. Les principaux résultats de nos analyses mettent en lumière que la norme masculine, proche de l’identité du « Mâle Alpha », est encore omniprésente lorsqu’il est question des leaders politiques dans les médias en contexte de campagne électorale, et ce, malgré la présence d’une femme comme première ministre sortante. Cette norme est aussi mobilisée, à des degrés divers, par nos répondants dans leurs réactions mesurées par l’enquête en ligne. Certains participants utilisent davantage les principes du genre masculin dans leur évaluation, particulièrement lorsqu’ils sont confrontés à des cadres médiatiques allant dans ce sens. Nos groupes indiquent que la norme masculine du milieu politique n’est pas remise en question par les citoyens, et qu’elle est encore aujourd’hui la base de l’évaluation du leadership politique québécois.

    Canadian eview V olume 39, No. 2 Moving Forward Together: Indigenous People and Parliament p. 24 The Mace currently in use in the Legislative Assembly of Saskatchewan was made in 1906 and used for the first time in March of that year at the opening of the First Session of the First Legislative Assembly. Purchased from Ryrie Bros. Ltd. of Toronto at a cost of $340.00, it is made of heavy gold-plated brass and is about four feet long. The head consists of a Royal Crown with the arches surmounted by a Maltese cross and bears the Royal Coat-of-Arms on the top indicating the Royal Authority. Each side is decorated with a sheaf of wheat, representing the province’s agricultural wealth, a beaver representing Canada and the monogram E.R. VII, representing the sovereign at the time, Edward VII. The shaft and base are ornamented with a shamrock, thistle and rose intertwined. A Latin inscription around the Royal Coat of Arms reads in English, “Edward the Seventh, by the Grace of God of British Isles and Lands beyond the sea which are under British rule, King, Defender of the Faith, Emperor of India”.

  • Letter to Prime Minister Trudeau Re Radioactive Waste Policy
    The Right Honourable Justin Trudeau September 19 2017 Prime Minister of Canada Dear Prime Minister Trudeau: Canada is at the dawn of a new era: the Age of Nuclear Waste. Yet this country has no official policy regarding the long-term management of any radioactive wastes other than irradiated nuclear fuel. A federal policy on radioactive wastes other than irradiated fuel is urgently needed. The absence of such a policy in effect gives a green light for the approval of three ill-considered projects to abandon long-lived radioactive wastes at sites very close to major bodies of water – wastes that will remain hazardous for hundreds of thousands of years. One is a gigantic multi- story mound, on the surface at Chalk River, one kilometre from the Ottawa River, meant to permanently house up to a million cubic metres of mixed radioactive wastes. The other two projects involve the in-situ abandonment of the long-lived radioactive remains from two defunct nuclear reactors – the NPD reactor at Rolphton on the Ottawa River, and the WR-1 reactor at Pinawa on the Winnipeg River. These projects pose a threat to future generations, and they set a dreadful example for other countries looking to Canada for socially and environmentally acceptable policies and practices. All three projects involve radioactive wastes that are the sole responsibility of the government of Canada; yet in each case, the projects have been conceived by a private consortium of multinational corporations hired by the previous federal government under a time-limited contract. The previous government also ensured that the approvals process for all three projects is entirely in the hands of the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CNSC), a body whose independence has been challenged from many quarters.
