Core 1..230 Hansard House of Commons Debates VOLUME 148 Ï NUMBER 435 Ï 1st SESSION Ï 42nd PARLIAMENT OFFICIAL REPORT (HANSARD) Monday, June 17, 2019 Speaker: The Honourable Geoff Regan CONTENTS (Table of Contents appears at back of this issue.) 29155 HOUSE OF COMMONS Monday, June 17, 2019 The House met at 11 a.m. therapy because they cannot afford the costs of the supplies, devices and medications. The impacts of this are far reaching. Unable to comply with their therapy, it puts people at increased risk of serious health complications. In addition to the human impact, this adds Prayer strain to our health care system, as it must deal with completely avoidable emergency interventions. It does not need to be this way. New Democrats, since the time we won the fight for medicare in PRIVATE MEMBERS' BUSINESS this country under Tommy Douglas, believe that our work will not Ï (1100) be done until we also have a universal public pharmacare plan. The [English] health and financial impacts of not having a universal public pharmacare plan are as clear as day when we look at the impacts of DIABETES AWARENESS MONTH diabetes in this country. We must also keep in mind that prevention The House resumed from May 28 consideration of the motion. is cheaper than intervention. We know that there are other social Ms. Jenny Kwan (Vancouver East, NDP): Mr. Speaker, I am policies we can engage in to reduce the risk of people developing very happy to engage in this important discussion. In 2014, the Steno diabetes in the first place. These policies will keep Canadians Diabetes Center in Copenhagen, along with the University College healthier and save our health care system's valuable resources. in London and Novo Nordisk, created the cities changing diabetes Due to the cost of diabetes therapies, it is without question that program. Its aim is to address the social and cultural factors that those unable to comply due to costs are less financially secure. In increase type 2 diabetes vulnerability among certain people in urban Vancouver, much of this has to do with the lack of affordable centres. The program now includes partnerships with 20 cities housing. Whether it is kicking the can down the road on funding the around the world. I am proud to say that Vancouver was Canada's national affordable housing plan instead of breaking ground on first and only city to become involved, and was one of the first 10 projects, or avoiding any action on money-laundering schemes that cities globally to join the program. inflate real estate prices, the Liberal government is failing to address It is estimated that about 9.4% of Vancouverites are living with the national housing crisis that is acutely severe in Vancouver and in diabetes, which is comparable to national incidence rates. However, my riding of Vancouver East. Too often, my constituents are forced this overall rate hides who is being most impacted. Vancouver is one to choose between paying rent and paying for insulin. This is wrong. of Canada's most socially, ethnically and economically diverse cities, and not all groups are affected by diabetes at the same rates. In Vancouver's more affluent neighbourhoods, diabetes rates are as low as 5%, but in the Downtown Eastside, in my riding of Vancouver East, it is 8%. We also know that indigenous people and people of Chinese and South Asian descent are at a disproportionate risk of developing diabetes. In December 2017, I wrote to the Minister of National Revenue to express my serious concerns over the Liberal government's mishandling of the disability tax credit. Constituents were dismayed that the Canada Revenue Agency was denying the tax credits to those with insulin-dependent type 1 diabetes. Type 1 diabetes requires ongoing, expensive treatments. It is not uncommon for an individual to be forced to spend upwards of $10,000 a year on various medical devices and insulin. Often, private insurance plans have gaps that lead to it not being covered, or restrictive caps that leave individuals paying large amounts out of pocket. It is no wonder that the Canadian Diabetes Association found that 57% of Canadians with diabetes say they do not comply with their 29156 COMMONS DEBATES June 17, 2019 Private Members' Business My colleagues, the member for North Island—Powell River and I am proud to stand in the House and support Motion No. 173.

  • Margaret Ross “Of Friends and Trees
    Margaret Ross “Of friends and trees, tents, paths and playing fields”:1 Nature, Gender, and Race at Camp Orendaga History 9833B: Environmental History April 25th, 2018 Professor Alan MacEachern 1 Western Archives, Western University (hereafter referred to as ARCC), YMCA-YWCA fonds, Box 5368, Orendaga summer camp newspaper (Orendaga Saga), 1936, 1. Ross 1 Camp Orendaga was an all-girls camp that ran during the 1930s and 1940s near Bayfield, Ontario. Operated by the Young Women’s Christian Association (YWCA), it catered to middle- class girls looking to partake in general camp activities and learn specialized skills in “God’s great out-of-doors.”2 Many girls contributed to the writing of the Orendaga Saga, a newspaper that was distributed to campers at the end of their two-week sessions. The Orendaga “scribes” wrote varied articles, stories, and poems to document their stay, often including drawings and paintings to provide visuals. Although the secondary literature on summer camping highlights the perspectives and opinions of adult reformers and camp directors, the camp newspaper offers a rare opportunity to balance their views with the perceptions of youth. This essay will examine the Orendaga Saga between 1934 and 1950 in order to shed light on adolescent interpretations of changing discourses about nature and its relationship to gender and race in the early to mid- twentieth century.3 First and foremost, this essay is an environmental history, and questions what female campers thought about nature and their recreational outdoor experiences.4 While reformers and administrators believed that the Canadian wilderness was beneficial for children and adolescents, campers themselves were far less reflective about nature’s redemptive qualities, and typically viewed the camp setting as a backdrop against which they negotiated personal relationships and burgeoning friendships.

  • Pierre Trudeau Prime Minister
    PIERRE TRUDEAU PRIME MINISTER Joseph Philippe Pierre Yves Elliott Trudeau PC CC CH QC .. Prime Ministers all : (l-r) Trudeau, future leaders John Turner and Jean Chrétien, and Trudeau's predecessor, Lester B. The Liberals won mostly on the strength of a solid performance in the eastern half of the country. His energetic campaign attracted massive media attention and mobilized many young people, who saw Trudeau as a symbol of generational change. His father was a French-Canadian businessman, His mother was of Scottish ancestry, and although bilingual, spoke English at home. He defeated several prominent and long-serving Liberals including Paul Martin Sr. He immediately called an election. For information about the 28th Parliament, to , see 28th Canadian Parliament. Ignatieff resigned as party leader immediately after the election, and rumours again circulated that Trudeau could run to become his successor. Over a five-week period he attended many lectures and became a follower of personalism after being influenced most notably by Emmanuel Mounier. In this and other forums, Trudeau sought to rouse opposition to what he believed were reactionary and inward-looking elites. If you see something that doesn't look right, contact us! In his next election, in at the height of Trudeaumania , he received Trudeau, in an attempt to represent Western interests, offered to form a coalition government with Ed Broadbent's NDP, which had won 22 seats in the west, but was rebuffed by Broadbent out of fear the party would have no influence in a majority government. Trudeau criticized the Liberal Party of Lester Pearson when it supported arming Bomarc missiles in Canada with nuclear warheads.

    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.
