We are delighted to bring together OLIP partners and stakeholders to share knowledge, experiences and inspiration for improving the settlement and integration of immigrants in Ottawa. The Ottawa Immigration Forum takes place every two years. It is an integral part of OLIP’s governance process, as the forum is where the partnership takes stock of collective progress in implementing the Ottawa Immigration Strategy, the agreed-upon path for improving Ottawa’s capacity to attract, welcome and integrate immigrants. We are excited about the theme of this year’s forum: Planning Together for Inclusive Prosperity. The theme recognizes the essential contributions of immigrants to Ottawa’s vibrancy and prosperity, and brings attention to some of the complex challenges that need to be dealt with collectively in order to optimize the benefits of immigration for Ottawa.

  • Are Politicians Rational Actors? Political Careers in the Canadian House of Commons
    POLITICAL CAREERS IN THE CANADIAN HOUSE OF COMMONS ARE POLITICIANS RATIONAL ACTORS? POLITICAL CAREERS IN THE CANADIAN HOUSE OF COMMONS By David Docherty A Thesis Submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts McMaster University e September 1990 MASTER OF ARTS (1990) McMASTER UNIVERSITY (Political Science) Hamilton, Ontario TITLE: Are Politicians Rational Actors? Political Careers in the Canadian House of Commons AUTHOR: David Campbell Docherty, B.A. (Wilfrid Laurier) SUPERVISOR: Professor M. M. Atkinson NUMBER OF PAGES: v, 239 -iii- ABSTRACT Conventional analysis suggests that the Canadian House of Commons suffers from a lack of experienced parliamentarians. This thesis attempts to provide an analysis of political careers in Canada, and suggests that not all careers are of such a short duration. An initial analysis of Canadian political careers found some evidence to support the argument that there is little opportunity for advancement within Parliament, and that this affects the choices individuals make about staying in political life. Politicians who made it to cabinet have had longer careers than MPs who spent their entire career as a private member. An analysis of exit patterns of politicians however, found that advancement within Parliament is not the only inducement for a long political career. MPs, both cabinet ministers and backbenchers, who leave parliament by choice tend to leave after a career that is much longer than that of members who leave through electoral defeat. This indicates that a number of MPs are not making decisions to leave office, based on their inability to receive quick promotions to positions of authority (namely cabinet or positions of authority within their parties) • The thesis concludes by suggesting that the rational choice model has helped our understanding of political careers, but does not offer an encompassing explanation.

Soon thereafter, little Iona – still a babe in arms - and her family returned to Galiano Island to her family home. Along with her three siblings, John, Harold and Marion, she was raised to be proud of her family’s pioneering roots: their grandfather, Finlay Murcheson, settled on the Island in 1882. In 1940, the Hardy family moved up the coast to the North Pacific Cannery located on the Skeena River near Prince Rupert, where her father worked as Chief of Maintenance.
