Clearly leaving too much power in the hands of judges is not the way to proceed. On December 8, 1997 the justice minister stated in this House: ‘‘We agree in principle that conditional sentencing is working D well’’. Working well for whom? It works great for the criminals, (1020) that is for sure.

The Honourable Jim Prentice — - Minister of Environment Government of Canada By Email Correspondence to: Jim.Prenticeec.gc.ca cc Dear Sir: C Re: Enbridge Northern Gateway Project — Final Agreement on Joint Review Process This letter is to state the opinions of the Sea to Sands Conservation Alliance with regards to the terms of the Final Agreement on the Joint Review Panel process for the Enbridge Northern Gateway crude oil/ condensate twin pipelines. We are a group of concerned citizens based out of Prince George, British Columbia with support from across western Canada. Prince George is a community that lies in close proximity to the proposed Enbridge pipelines route, and is inhabited by people that are closely tied to the surrounding land. We recently formed the Sea to Sands Conservation Alliance to express our concern for this rnega-project. Interest in our group has been considerable and our groups already have well over 600 supporters; opposition to this pipeline project is increasing daily throughout British Columbia. We count ourselves as part of a broader network of concerned citizens. Our reasons for opposing the terms of the final agreement on the Joint Review Panel are as follows: 1. We seriously question whether a three-member panel comprised of two National Energy Board members and one Environment Minister appointed member will be adequate to evaluate this process. This is because of the magnitude of this project, its broad-sweeping implications and the number of communities and stakeholders that will be affected by it.

  • Computational Identification of Ideology In
    Computational Identification of Ideology in Text: A Study of Canadian Parliamentary Debates Yaroslav Riabinin Dept. of Computer Science, University of Toronto, Toronto, ON M5S 3G4, Canada February 23, 2009 In this study, we explore the task of classifying members of the 36th Cana- dian Parliament by ideology, which we approximate using party mem- bership. Earlier work has been done on data from the U.S. Congress by applying a popular supervised learning algorithm (Support Vector Ma- chines) to classify Senatorial speech, but the results were mediocre unless certain limiting assumptions were made. We adopt a similar approach and achieve good accuracy — up to 98% — without making the same as- sumptions. Our findings show that it is possible to use a bag-of-words model to distinguish members of opposing ideological classes based on English transcripts of their debates in the Canadian House of Commons. 1 Introduction Internet technology has empowered users to publish their own material on the web, allowing them to make the transition from readers to authors. For example, people are becoming increasingly accustomed to voicing their opinions regarding various prod- ucts and services on websites like Epinions.com and Amazon.com. Moreover, other users appear to be searching for these reviews and incorporating the information they acquire into their decision-making process during a purchase. This indicates that mod- 1 ern consumers are interested in more than just the facts — they want to know how other customers feel about the product, which is something that companies and manu- facturers cannot, or will not, provide on their own.
