The objective of this qualitative inquiry was to explore the effects of the three-month wait period on new immigrants’ experiences of accessing health services in Ontario. Drawing on data gathered from in-depth field observations and semi- structured interviews with new permanent residents (n=10) and health care providers (n=4), this study examines the lived experience of this complex policy for those seeking health coverage and those struggling to provide it. The findings from this study highlight the socio- economic and cultural tensions experienced by those in the three-month wait period as they navigate care, along with the impact of the structural impediments posed by the policy on the ability of healthcare providers to deliver sound, equitable, and ethical health care to these vulnerable populations. Keywords Three-month wait period; immigrant healthcare; access to care; health inequalities; Ontario Health Insurance Plan; service providers ii Acknowledgements I would like to thank my incredibly dedicated supervisor, Dr. Treena Orchard, for her commitment to this project and her belief in the importance of this issue. Thank you for believing in my potential enough to challenge me and help me realize it, your guidance has been truly amazing and the ways in which you have contributed to deepening my understanding of the research process will continue to inform my work for years to come. I would also like to thank my advisory committee for their consistent support and encouragement throughout each step of this process. I could not have done this without the extraordinary help from all of the staff at the Scarborough Community Volunteer Clinic who managed to make time during each busy night at the clinic to assist me with recruitment and participate in interviews. This study also would not have been possible without all of the participants who took the time to share their stories and experiences with me - thank you for trusting me with them. To my family, especially my Mom, Dad, and brother, for always providing me with all of the tools I have ever needed to achieve my goals and helping me to envision them for myself. I would also like to thank my friends whose support and patience with me has been unwavering. To Christian, Anthony, and Cecile, whose spirits continue to rest in our hearts and have been a powerful inspiration for me to see through this project. iii Table of Contents Abstract

Despite the frustrating lack of source material, Mr. D’Ombrain has done an admirable job of mapping and explaining the machinery of the Ontario Government. He contributes far more than a simple schematic outline of government functions. Instead, he highlights some of the ambiguities and open questions that arise in the conflict between the form of a given administration and 100 Lesmill Road, the manner in which it actually operates.

Current research interests include fiscal federalism, health policy, the reform of federal political institutions and the machinery of federal-provincial relations, Canadian federalism and the global economy, and comparative federalism. The Institute pursues these objectives through research conducted by its own associates and other scholars, through its publication program, and through seminars and conferences. The Institute links academics and practitioners of federalism in federal and provincial govern ments and the private sector. The Institute of Intergovernmental Relations receives ongoing financial support from the J.A.

We are grateful for this support, which enables the Institute to sustain its program of research, publication, and related activities.

  • A Political and Legal Analysis of Ontario's Environmental
    A POLITICAL AND LEGAL ANALYSIS OF ONTARIO’S ENVIRONMENTAL BILL OF RIGHTS Mark S. Winfield* The concept of an environmental bill of rights has been central to the environmental law reform agenda in Ontario for the past two decades. In this context, the enactment of Bill 26, An Act Respecting Environmental Rights in Ontario1 by the Ontario Legislature in December 1993, represents a major achievement for Ontario’s environmental movement. The Environmental Bill of Rights (EBR) has been described “as the most important piece of environmental legislation enacted in Ontario since the Environmental Assessment Act of 1975.”2 This article provides an overview of the evolution of the EBR concept in Ontario, and of the development of Bill 26. It summarizes the major elements of the Ontario EBR, and provides a brief assessment of its impact on the formulation of environmental law and policy in Ontario over the past four years. The article concludes with a discussion of the implications of the Ontario bill for the future of environmental law reform elsewhere in Canada. I Origins of the Environmental Bill of Rights Concept 1. Common Law Environmental “Rights ” Prior to the enactment of provincial environmental protection statutes in the 1950s, 60s and 70s, the common law provided a number of grounds on which someone affected by environmental damage might obtain redress, in the form of either injunctions or awards of compensatory damages. These common law causes of action might be described as a kind of environmental “rights.” Among the most important of the common law causes of action were nuisance, which was based on the unreasonable or unnecessary interference with the enjoyment of property, riparian rights, which protected downstream owners of property bordering on water bodies from interference with the flow or quality of water by upstream users, trespass, which was founded on the unauthorized entry into or damage to property, and strict liability, which made ‘This article is a condensation and updating of a more detailed analysis of the Ontario EBR: M.

    FROM SEED TO TREE: Analyzing Perspectives on 20 Years of Institutional Evolution of the Office of the Environmental Commissioner of Ontario by: Anthony Boland, 2012-2013 Intern Ontario Legislature Internship Programme (OLIP) 1303A Whitney Block Queen’s Park Toronto, ON, M7A 1A1 Email: [email protected] www.olipinterns.Ca Paper presented at the 2013 Annual Meeting of the Canadian PolitiCal SCienCe AssoCiation (CPSA), ViCtoria, British Columbia, 6 June 2013. [REVISED VERSION: 29 August 2013] Introduction As one of the Legislative Assembly’s independent offiCers, the Environmental Commissioner of Ontario (ECO) was born out of the Environmental Bill of Rights (EBR) almost two deCades ago. With the first Commissioner being appointed one year following passage of the Bill in 1993, the Commissioner’s office Continues to act independently from the government, providing an objeCtive review of the implementation of the EBR and ComplianCe amongst Ministries. Over the years, the Commissioner’s offiCe has evolved under the leadership of two offiCial ECOs, Eva Ligeti (1994 – 1999) and Gord Miller (2000 – present), amidst the administration of three governments of different politiCal stripes, the proliferation of the internet and soCial media, and multiple pendulum shifts between publiC ConCern about environmental issues and eConomiC reCessions. From the early days of the government’s Task ForCe that led to establishing the ECO, to today, this analysis will foCus on the institutional evolution of the offiCe over the past twenty years. In partiCular, the evolution of the ECO from ConCeption to law; the evolution of the ECO as a publiC eduCator; the evolution of the ECO as a watchdog; and the evolution of the ECO’s legislative relevanCe.
