Trudeau Prime Minister of Canada Office of the Prime Minister 80 Wellington Street Ottawa, ON K1A 0A2 Dear Prime Minister, On behalf of the members of the Canadian Employee Relocation Council (CERC), I am writing to congratulate your government’s open approach to global trade, and particularly economic migration. CERC is a not for profit organization representing the interests of business in matters relating to the movement of employees for the purposes of employment, As you are aware, shortages of skilled workers are impacting economic growth and business expansion around the globe. The supply of highly skilled workers is not growing fast enough to meet the increasing demand and access to key talent is a priority for many companies. In fact, according to research conducted by PwC earlier this year, some 77 per cent of global CEOs worry that skills shortages could impair their company’s growth. At a time when many regions of the world are turning away from global trade, and public opposition to migration is building, we believe your government is taking the right approach in promoting the benefits of free trade and implementing more progressive immigration policies. The new Global Skills Strategy for example is one program that can help to attract the brightest and the best talent to Canada’s shores.

Rempel Garner proposed the health committee (HESA) undertake a study to look at 17 different elements, including rapid, at-home testing; vaccine development; long-term care protocols within federal jurisdiction; the Public Health Agency of Canada ’s Global Public Health Intelligence Network; contact tracing protocol; and Canada’s level of preparedness for future pandemics. The motion also proposed that various ministers, including those for health, procurement and public safety, be required to appear before the committee separately for three hours each in order to answer questions about the government’s response to COVID-19. Rempel Garner’s motion was introduced after opposition members of the committee voted to adjourn the debate on a motion presented by Liberal MP and committee member Tony Van Bynen (Newmarket-Aurora, Ont.), who was calling for a study on the mental health impacts of COVID-19 on Canadians.

  • Parliamentary Internship Programme 2020-21 Annual Report
    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.

  • Trudeau Attacks Calls to Close Borders: “There Is a Lot of Knee-Jerk Reaction That Isn’T Keeping People Safe”
    The road to Canada's COVID-19 outbreak, Pt. 3: timeline of federal government failure at border to slow the virus Author of the article: David Staples • Edmonton Journal Publishing date: April 3, 2020 • 29 minute read Prime Minister Justin Trudeau speaks from behind a podium bearing the hyperlink to a federal government website about the coronavirus disease during a press conference about COVID-19 in front of his residence at Rideau Cottage in Ottawa, on Sunday, March 22, 2020. JUSTIN TANG / THE CANADIAN PRESS Pt. 3, March: Trudeau attacks calls to close borders: “There is a lot of knee-jerk reaction that isn’t keeping people safe” COVID-19 exploded upon the world in March 2020, shutting down much of the economy in Europe and North America by mid-month, just as it had already done in Asia in January and February. But early in the month, the Liberal government in Ottawa clung to the notion that it must not close its borders to travellers, or quarantine them when they arrived, even as that was by then standard practice in Asia, and even as infection brought in by travellers were spreading in Canadian towns and cities. Yet by the end of the month, the Liberal policy did a complete about-face, shutting down our borders. In Parts 1 and 2, we looked at the multi-partisan in effort to dig in and question Canada‟s border policies on COVID-19. In Part. 3 of our series, the timeline is extended into March, detailing the key quotes and debates leading to the federal policy change.

As you are likely aware, the Agreement Between the Inuit of the Nunavut Settlement Area and Her Majesty the Queen in Right of Canada (Nunavut Agreement) was negotiated to provide certainty and clarity of rights for Inuit to participate in decision-making concerning the use, management and conservation of land, water and resources, including the offshore. Our collective perspective reflects our mandates as institutions of public government which are, respectively, responsible for the management and regulation of wildlife, land use, development impacts, and inland waters within the Nunavut Settlement Area. Pursuant to section 15.4.1. of the Nunavut Agreement, we are also mandated to advise and make recommendations to government agencies regarding marine areas as the Nunavut Marine Council (NMC or Council), with Government required to consider the Council’s advice when making decisions which affect marine areas.

  • June 2020 Newsletter
    RCMP VETERANS’ ASSOCIATION VANCOUVER DIVISION WEBSITE: http://www.rcmpveteransvancouver.com/ JUNE 2020 GENERAL MEETINGS: In normal times, we would not hold Division General Meetings in the months of July, August and September, so you could say that we are back to normal for the next three months. We are still hopeful that under the phased approach to reopening, being taken by Provincial Health Authorities, we will be able to resume our General Meetings in some form in October. PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE: These past few months have been a big challenge to all of us. Our whole way of life has basically changed. We now have to take huge measures to protect ourselves from a virus that could take our lives. I know when I make my weekly trip to the grocery store that I will see seniors not practicing social distancing. It concerns me when people don’t listen to the experts in doing something that is so simple. To this end I hope all of our members are taking these precautions and as our Chief Medical Officer says, “Be Safe, be careful and be kind”. To protect our members, the association has suspended our regular lunch meetings until such time as they can be done in safety. We will review this decision again in September and adhere to the advice of our Chief Medical Officer Bonnie Henry. The world itself has been turned upside down with the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis. I would not have thought for a minute that an incident in the US could so profoundly affect our country.
