  • NDP Response - Canadian Paediatric Society (CPS)
    NDP Response - Canadian Paediatric Society (CPS) Establishing Child-Friendly Pharmacare 1. What will your party do to ensure that all children and youth have equitable access to safe, effective and affordable prescription drugs? An NDP government will implement a comprehensive, public universal pharmacare system so that every Canadian, including children, has access to the medication they need at no cost. 2. What measures will your party take to ensure that Canada has a national drug formulary and compounding registry that is appropriate for the unique needs of paediatric patients? An NDP government would ensure that decisions over what drugs to cover in the national formulary would be made by an arm’s-length body that would negotiate with drug companies. This would ensure that the needs of Canadians – from paediatric to geriatric – are considered. The NDP will work with paediatricians, health professionals, and other stakeholders to ensure that the formulary meets the needs of Canadians and that children and youth have access to effective and safe medication that will work for them. 3. How will your party strengthen Canada’s regulatory system to increase the availability and accessibility of safe paediatric medications and child- friendly formulations? The best way to increase the availability and accessibility of safe paediatric medications and child-friendly formulations is by establishing a comprehensive, national public pharmacare system because it gives Canada the strongest negotiating power with pharmaceutical companies. An NDP government will work with patients, caregivers, health professionals, and pharmaceutical companies to ensure that the best interest of Canadians will not continue to be adversely impacted by the long-awaited need for universal pharmacare.

As Aboriginal Affairs critic for the NDP, I have been proud to listen alongside our Leader, Tom Mulcair and our Northern Affairs critic, Dennis Bevington to Yukon First Nations and Yukoners. Together, we brought the messages from Yukon to Parliament. S-6 cannot be supported. We have been clear; First Nations deserve a federal government that will work, nation-to- nation, and respect the work of Yukon Environmental and Socio-economic Assessment Act. Ottawa should not be dictating to First Nations and Yukoners. As Official Opposition, we made every effort to make sure that Yukon voices were being heard loud and clear throughout the process. In Ottawa, our Leader Tom Mulcair hosted Yukon First Nations to hear concerns first hand. In Ottawa and Whitehorse, we met with Yukon First Nations, Yukon leaders, members of the legislature, members of community and environmental organizations, members of industry and Yukoners who were part of putting together YESAA. The messages we heard guided our opposition in Parliament.

  • 2018 U of T Women in House Reflections – Hart House
    2018 U of T Women in House Reflection Name: Xinhe (Angela) Gu Program: Double Major in Ethics, Society and Law, French Language and Literature, Minor in Environmental Biology Year: 3rd year undergraduate Parliamentary Host: MP Elizabeth May I am so grateful to have been able to experience a day on the Hill, shadowing MP Elizabeth May with fellow student Rebecca Bukovcan. Elizabeth is such a passionate figure, and a force of nature – fighting relentlessly. Her schedule is packed with meetings and engagements, and we often left meetings early, popped into others halfway through, and she gave her one hundred percent attention to everyone. She told us that her goal wasn’t to be the best Green Party leader ever, but to be the best MP for her constituents, and I found that inspiring. As a kid, I used to think that politics was exclusionary, and was filled with boring old people debating boring issues, and my experience on the Hill shadowing Elizabeth proved contrary – I can now envision myself as part of that world, doing meaningful work and being a changemaker on the national level. We started the day with a breakfast briefing on the C3 Expedition – coast to coast to coast – a 150-day- long ship journey that took place this summer to celebrate Canada 150. It brought together Canadians (including Elizabeth) to share experiences, and to work on reconciliation as well. We then rushed downstairs to a meeting on methane regulation in oil-extraction industries in the prairies. Two researchers were presenting their findings, and this was just like what I’d learned in my environmental studies classes, but in real life! Policy-making and interdisciplinary work in action, wow.

  • Government Seeks Catholic Group’S Help in Obtaining Papal Apology
    Government seeks Catholic group’s help in obtaining papal apology The Minister of Indigenous Affairs has asked the Our Lady of Guadalupe Circle, a coalition of Catholic groups, to help government efforts to obtain a papal apology on Canadian soil for Indian residential schools. “As an essential component of healing and reconciliation, the survivors of Canada’s Indian residential schools and their families deserve an apology from the Pope on behalf of the Roman Catholic Church,” said Indigenous and Northern Affairs Minister Carolyn Bennett in a May letter co-signed by Senator Murray Sinclair, the former chair of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) and NDP MP Charlie Angus who recently co-sponsored a motion to invite a papal apology that passed the House May 1 by 269 to 10 with all-party support. “As you may be aware, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has been very clear about the Government of Canada’s commitment to reconciliation, including the implementation of all 94 Calls to Action of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission,” the letter said. Call to Action No. 58 asks for the Pope to apologize on Canadian soil for the for “the Roman Catholic Church’s role in the spiritual, cultural, emotional, physical, and sexual abuse of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis children in Catholic-run residential schools.” “We would like to invite representatives of the Guadalupe Circle to join us at a discussion table with residential school survivors to discuss with them the role the Circle can play toward obtaining an apology and to advance the cause of reconciliation,” said Bennett, Sinclair and Angus in the May letter to Circle co-chair Archbishop Murray Chatlain of Keewatin-Le Pas.

  • Bill C-391 Is Now Under Review by the House of Commons Committee on Public Safety and National Security Before It Will Come to a Final Vote at Third Reading
    It Is Time To Take A Stand For Public Safety The National Long-gun Registry was created in 1995 and launched in 1998 as part of the Firearms Act which required gun owners to be licensed, register their firearms and store them locked and unloaded. The law mandated a licensing and registration system, but did not impose any sweeping limitations on access to firearms or usage. The Firearms Act (Bill C-68) was introduced in response to public pressure, particularly through women, to strengthen gun control legislation following the tragic events at the École Polytechnique December 6, 1989. Since then, the gun lobby has fought to rescind the legislation aided by the powerful American National Rifle Association (NRA). Using American style tactics, including expensive and targeted media campaigns at vulnerable Liberal and NDP MPs, the gun lobby has managed with the blessing of the Harper government to introduce a Private Members Bill to eliminate the Long-gun Registry. On November 4, 2009, this Bill was passed through Second Reading in the House of Commons. Bill C-391 is now under review by the House of Commons Committee on Public Safety and National Security before it will come to a final vote at Third Reading. The Bill and efforts to eliminate the Registry have been opposed right across the country by numerous women’s, family and professional organizations like the Canadian Association of Emergency Physicians, the Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police and the YWCA of Canada to name a few. People who think it is a good idea to keep track of weapons like rifles and shotguns for the sake of public safety need to have their voices heard.

  • Response to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada Call to Action #48 Christian Reformed Churches in Canada March 30, 2016
    Response to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada Call to Action #48 Christian Reformed Churches in Canada March 30, 2016 Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada Commissioners Justice Murray Sinclair, Chief Wilton Littlechild and Dr. Marie Wilson: The Christian Reformed churches in Canada affirm the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (the Declaration) as a framework for reconciliation. The Declaration is unique because Indigenous people are its authors and, in their articulation of these human rights, demonstrate a respect for human dignity and diversity that is a powerful vision of reconciled relationships. We embrace the Declaration as a hopeful vision for reconciled relationships. We honour the Declaration’s expression of Indigenous perspectives on justice and right relations that have, too often, been missing and ignored in the shaping of our collective lives. Oppression has diminished the wholeness of all. Thus, as followers of Christ-the-reconciler, we celebrate the Declaration as a call for Indigenous justice, and wholeness in our shared lives. We take these steps with utmost humility, recognizing that the journey of reconciliation, and the need for it, is built on generations of faithfulness and failings of people. However, we also take these steps confidently because God our Creator has inspired the sacred journey of reconciliation. This time of sacred opportunity for reconciliation calls for honest reflection: The current relationship between Indigenous people and settlers is shaped by a broken past, and contemporary policies and attitudes that are not fully respectful of Indigenous peoples, their relationship with the land, and their rights. The Christian Reformed Church is part of the Christian community that has engaged in spiritual violence and systemic racism in the settlement of North America.
