Asper School of Business University of Manitoba This Symposium was conceived as a means of bringing together all interested parties for a first hard look at the use of airships for northern transportation. The original vision for the Symposium was expressed by the late Hon. Ron Duhamel, former senior Federal Minister for Manitoba. Mr. Duhamel recognized the potential of airships to fill many gaps in our transportation to the north. Sadly, he was not able to see the fulfillment of this vision, but we dedicate the conference to his memory. The organizers of the Symposium had multiple goals. The first goal was to dispel the negative myths associated with Lighter-than-air (LTA) transport and to introduce information on the state of the art materials that make it possible to construct airships that were never before possible. A second goal of the Symposium was to establish the scope and strength of civilian and military demand for an alternative means of transport with particular reference to the northern markets. The third goal was to examine the passenger, freight and communications applications of existing and proposed airships, and to portray the supply side of the LTA market. Finally, the Symposium was designed to bring political attention to the opportunity to found an airship industry in Manitoba as part of this community’s aerospace industry cluster. I would like to thank all those who gave so generously of their time to assist in the organization of the conference and to the speakers, some of whom came considerable distances to participate in this meeting. I wish to recognize our sponsors whose financial assistance made the Symposium possible: Transport Canada, Western Economic Diversification, the Manitoba Department of Transportation and Government Services, the Manitoba Department of Energy, Science and Technology, the Manitoba Department of Aboriginal and Northern Affairs, Manitoba Hydro and Southport Aerospace. We also appreciate the in-kind support that we received from: Ironlink, the Manitoba and Winnipeg Chambers of Commerce, MTS, Clarion, and Sport Manitoba. I would also like ii 2002 Airships to the Arctic Symposium to recognize Mr. Hart Berger, former policy advisor to the Hon. Ron Duhamel, who made a major contribution to the organization and success of the Symposium, and to Mrs. Jill Dutka, who worked tirelessly to ensure that the Symposium was a world class event. Lastly, I want to recognize the help of my co-editor, Shelley Turriff, and all the speakers who worked with us to prepare these proceedings. The entire proceedings were transcribed with the exception of the speech by the Hon. Steve Ashton, Manitoba Minister of the Environment. Mr. Ashton spoke in a different room, and did not have a written speech. The remarks of Mr. Ron Browning, Lockheed- Martin, were transcribed, but have been withheld at the request of the author. iii 2002 Airships to the Arctic Symposium TABLE OF CONTENTS Dedication i Forward ii Table of Contents iv Welcome – The Hon.

Premier Doer regrets that he could not be here today, but does extend his best wishes to everyone. I would like to commend the organizers of the symposium: Barry and the folks at the Transport Institute for putting together a very interesting and timely agenda. As a newly appointed Minister of Transportation and Government Services, I am pleased to participate in this very prestigious event. The transportation industry is a significant contributor to Manitoba’s economy. When we were on the way over, the Deputy Minister Andy Horosko, and I were wondering what year the hotel that we are in was built. It was probably about the same year that a lot of the vehicles that we are talking about here today were in full-fledge use. Obviously I have been reading the newspaper clippings and the reports of the major changes that we have seen. The potential for airships is certainly strong as a very viable form of transportation.

    A Brief History of the Performance and Planning Exchange (PPX) 1996 to 2016 By Peter J. Green The name for the Performance and Planning Exchange was conceived in 1997 on a drive home from Twin Elm Rugby Park, following a rugby match and the imbibing of several libations on the part of its creator. The notion was to provide an opportunity for the exchange of knowledge and experience among those involved in planning and reporting. The genesis of PPX requires a context. Pre-PPX: 1986-1996 The realization that an organ for learning was needed followed five government-wide initiatives: Increased Ministerial Authority and Accountability (IMAA) (1986) Public Service 2000 (December 1989) Program Review – Getting Government Right (1989-93) Improved Reporting to Parliament (March 1996) Planning, Reporting and Accountability Structure (PRAS) (September 1996) IMAA (1986) In February 1986, the Mulroney Government introduced Increased Ministerial Authority and Accountability (IMAA), the second part of its public service reform initiative (the first being the Ministerial Task Force on Program Review of 1984). The IMAA program was optional. In return for increased authority over such things as contracting and classification, as well as reduced reporting requirements, a department had to enter into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Treasury Board of Canada. The MOU was to specify objective program service targets and set performance measurements to evaluate how well the department fullfilled established goals. It was a move from transactional controls to agreed strategic objectives and results with enhanced accountability based on results achieved. It was less than successful and short lived. 2 Program Review – Getting Government Right (1989-93) Building on the IMAA experience, the government, in December 1989, introduced Public Service 2000, a process to reform and renew the public service by making it less rule- bound and more innovative.

From the expansionist fever of the late nineteenth century to the redistribution of German territories immediately following the First World War, Canadians of varying backgrounds campaigned vigorously for Canada-West Indies union. Their efforts generated a transatlantic discourse that raised larger questions about Canada’s national trajectory, imperial organization, and the state of Britain’s Empire in the twentieth century. This dissertation explores the key ideas, tensions, and contradictions that shaped the union discourse over time. Race, nation and empire were central to this discourse.

New readers will find the contents a source of interest in each and every phase of the aero- modelling hobby, our aim being to present each year a plethora of articles, ideas, designs and hints and tips that will ease their path in the construction and flying of model aircraft. Comparison of national and international de­ signs and the thoughts make for a widening knowledge of this fas­ cinating hobby, and the information published annually in AERO- MODELLER ANNUAL has assisted many aero- modellers to progress from the novice to expert stage. Among the contents of this volume are two exceptionally interesting Radio Control contri­ butions by Tommy Ives and C. Olsen, both experts in this particu­ lar field, an absorbing appreciation of the cur rent m ethods of Engine Speed C ontrol by Ron Moulton; M Gasson provides a fine practical- cum-tcchnical article on the all-wing model, and well-known "Aero modeller" contributor George Cox gives many hints and tips on the art of solid modelling. Pete Russell. British expert in stunt control- line flymg, gives an interesting account of the development of his long line of highly suc­ cessful contest winning models. while Hans Neelmeiicr of Germany submits a well balanced resume of current de­ velopments in the F.A.I Power model.
