The CEAA requires the minister to establish a There is a clear intent expressed by legislators: of who is charged participant funding program, while Bill C-9 reforms really grant the with reviewing changes to the bill; the process to be followed and, in discretion to the National Energy Board and the Nuclear Safety other words, an open participatory process to review any legislative Commission to consider establishing participant funding. changes; responsibility already taken on by the parliamentary committee; and that the review is likely to be substantive. For these reasons I am recommending that the finance committee, having been Of greatest concern, Bill C-9 also exempts a broad category of charged to study Bill C-9, be empowered to consider dividing the federally funded projects from environmental assessment, regardless bill. It is my recommendation to the House that it consider of the significance of their environmental impacts. The minister may empowering the finance committee to split the bill. reverse the exemption if significant impacts are identified. It hardly provides for the legal certainty that the government promised in its Mr. Speaker, I will be splitting my time with the member for throne speech. Outremont. The very title of the budget implementation bill makes clear the Ï (1010) narrow thrust of Bill C-9. It is entitled “Jobs and Economic Growth Act”. Projects that would be exempted include: the building Canada While a good number of provisions of Bill C-9 arguably fall fund, the green infrastructure fund, the recreational infrastructure within the purview of a budget implementation bill and that narrow fund, the border infrastructure fund, the municipal rural infrastruc- context, under the rubric of jobs and growth, I submit a number of ture fund, and on it goes. Bill C-9 also changes CEAA to grant the parts of Bill C-9 clearly do not. Counted among those are: part 18, minister broad, undefined discretion to narrow the scope of any which is about the reorganization of Atomic Energy of Canada environmental assessment or, in other words, allow for the Limited; part 19, amending the National Energy Board Act and the introduction of inappropriate, potentially political considerations. Nuclear Safety and Control Act to allow for participant funding; and in particular, part 20, which brings forth substantial amendments to the Canadian Environmental Protection Act. Concerns about this provision have been voiced strongly by a I wish most specifically to speak to parts 19 and 20. These parts number of sectors including first nations. In particular, first nations provide for significant reforms to the federal environmental are concerned that their constitutionally protected rights for advance assessment law: procedures and critical rights. To provide a context, notice, consultation and accommodation may have been violated by the legislative purposes of the Canadian Environmental Assessment bringing forward these amendments without first contacting them.

The amendments strike at The Canadian Environmental Assessment Act requires that the the very heart of the federal process negotiated among all interests government minister, the CEA agency and all federal authorities over past decades. The reviews could have gone to the regulatory exercise their powers in a manner consistent with protecting the advisory committee, which the government has not brought together environment and human health, and observing the precautionary for the last year and half. principle. No such similar broad duties can be found either in the NEB Act nor the Nuclear Safety and Control Act. In summary, the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act review The CEAA does allow the Minister of the Environment, on a includes a review and reform process. It prescribes who is to project-specific basis, to assign environmental reviews to other undertake that review. The matter has already been taken up by the bodies, but with conditions that there be identical factors, as Standing Committee on Environment and Sustainable Development, considered under CEAA, and equal public participation rights.

  • Feb. 18, 2021—To the Honourable Cliff Cullen, Minister of Education
    February 18, 2021 The Honourable Cliff Cullen Minister of Education Legislative Building 450 Broadway Winnipeg, MB R3C 0V8 Dear Minister Cullen: River East Transcona School division is the second largest school division in the province. We offer quality education programming to our students while having the lowest cost per pupil in the urban area. Our administration cost cap is currently 2.4%, .3% lower than the government directive of 2.7%. RETSD can do this because of the effective and efficient budgeting process it follows. The division has consistently developed lean budgets that maximize revenue supports to provide for students. Our Board is proud of this accomplishment. As have all school divisions in the province, we recently received your funding announcement. The announcement outlines financial support from the province as well as restrictions and limitations placed on our local school board. The impact of those restrictions and limitations is magnified in our division due to the existence of a fiscally responsible and lean budget. Specifically, RETSD Board of Trustees may not raise local education property tax above the level assessed last year. The province is providing school divisions with a 2% Property Tax Offset Grant (PTOG) to make up the shortfall in revenue. Unfortunately, the 2% PTOG does not adequately address the actual costs the division is facing just to maintain a status quo budgetary position. The provisions of Bill 28 dictate that our employees will receive a 1% salary increase this year. Many of our teachers will also be receiving an additional annual salary increment. Our division is experiencing unprecedented expansion and student population growth.

  • 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.

Forget treadmills and spin classes,” the release proclaimed. “Researchers at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies may have found a way around the sweat and pain.” Feeding a drug called AICAR to a group of mice for four weeks allowed them to run 44 percent longer than drug-free mice, the new study found—without a single step of training. Stories like this are hard to resist. After all, who wouldn’t love a pain-free, effortless shortcut to fitness? That’s why we’re bombarded on a daily basis by similar promises in magazines, on television, over the Internet, and in our spam folders.

ATHLETE/TEAM MATCH-UPS (RIVALRIES) A. HISTORY OF SPORT Definition Biathlon is an Olympic winter sport, which combines competitive, free-technique cross- country skiing and small-bore rifle marksmanship. The word competition is used in Biathlon instead of race because it is not only a race, but a combination of two different disciplines. Cross-country racing requires intense, full-out physical exertion over an extended period of time, while shooting demands extremely fine control and stability. When athletes arrive at the shooting range, they have to shoot at a very small target, with a racing heartbeat and heaving chest because the clock is running even while they are shooting. History Biathlon is classed as a life sport because it has had, and still has, an application in everyday living. Cave drawings found in Norway, dating back some 5000 years, give us the earliest record of skiing and carrying a weapon for hunting or fighting. Historical records from Asia also tell of "winged horses" on the feet of hunters in pursuit of game animals over snow.
