Sdf Fdsfsdfg Press release Gouvernement du Québec FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CNW CODE 01 + weeklies The Québec government signs a new agreement with the Cree Québec City, July 13, 2015 – “We are taking yet another significant step today in the Nation-to-Nation relations between Québec and the Cree.” It is in these terms that Québec Premier Philippe Couillard welcomed Grand Chief of the Grand Council of the Crees (Eeyou Istchee) Matthew Coon Come at the ceremony at which a new partnership and collaboration agreement was signed. For this occasion, minister of Forests, Wildlife and Parks Laurent Lessard, Minister of Sustainable Development, the Environment and the Fight Against Climate Change David Heurtel, Minister responsible for Native Affairs Geoffrey Kelley, and Minister responsible for Canadian Intergovernmental Affairs and the Canadian Francophonie Jean- Marc Fournier accompanied the Premier. “The Québec government is firmly determined to maintain harmonious, respectful relations with First Nations and Inuit. Based on this agreement, we are enhancing our relationship with the Cree. Moreover, I welcome Grand Chief Matthew Coon Come as a key partner for the development of Northern Québec, the protection of the territory and the collaboration with local and Aboriginal communities,” the Premier noted. The agreement signed today covers specific objectives such as forestry harmonization in the territories defined by the Baril-Moses document, which also concerns hunting, fishing and trapping activities, in addition to facilitating the harmonization of the adapted Forest regime. “I am indeed pleased with this agreement, which pursues an open relationship that respects values and the shared interests of the Cree Nation and Québec. It is a concrete example of the manner in which Québec wishes to associate the First Nations and the Inuit with enlightened resource development. I would like to take advantage of this opportunity to invite the Innu community of Mashteuiatsh (Pekuakamiulnuatsh Takuhikan) to participate in future discussions since the agreement calls for their participation in the process focusing on forestry operations and woodland caribou when they inform of us their willingness in this respect. We believe that their participation in such deliberations is essential,” Minister Geoffrey Kelley added. Specifications of the Agreement The Québec government undertakes to implement the terms and conditions stipulated in the Baril-Moses document throughout the territory that it defines as of the date of signing. The Québec government and the Cree Nation undertake to establish a common task force comprising the Cree, the Innu and the Québec government in order to propose as quickly as possible consensual measures concerning forest management standards in the Baril-Moses territory. By December 1, 2015 at the latest, an agreement on the harmonization of the adapted Forest regime and the Sustainable Forest Development Act must be concluded between the Cree Nation and the Québec government. Conservation and the environment Pursuant to the agreement, Québec undertakes to designate as a protected area and a biodiversity reserve the Broadback River sector, which would cover a total area of 9 134 km2, i.e. the existing Dana Lake and Les Tourbières-boisées-du-Chiwakamu proposed biodiversity reserves (505 km2), the Assinica National Park reserve (3 193 km2) and the new territories that will be protected east of the Assinica National Park reserve at Waswanipi Lake and in the Evans Lake area and the Broadback River (5 436 km2). The Québec government undertakes to implement measures to promote the restoration of woodland caribou in Québec. To this end, it will promptly contact experts and users of the territory. “The protected areas in the Broadback River sector add a significant dimension to the agreement reached today both from an environmental standpoint and as regards the protection of the natural heritage that we share with the Cree. By mutual agreement, we are reserving for the Cree and Quebec youth a portion of the vast territory that will remain intact to engage in traditional activities. Furthermore, the establishment of this protected area is contributing significantly to the objective of setting aside by 2035 50% of the Plan Nord territory for purposes other than industrial ones, environmental protection and safeguarding biodiversity. Together, we can develop Québec responsibly in a spirit of respect for our objectives to fight climate change in order to ensure the quality of life of future generations,” Minister David Heurtel said. Forestry Through the signing of the agreement, the Québec government undertakes to establish a joint Cree-Innu- Québec government working group on forestry to propose consensual measures in forest management in the territory. This will enhance and adjust the forest regime and standards stipulated in the Baril-Moses document. Moreover, the Cree and the Québec government will pursue discussions in order to conclude an agreement focusing on the harmonization of the adapted Forest regime and the Sustainable Forest Development Act. “The signing of the agreement confirms the common values shared by the Cree Nation and Québec, including sound forest management. This collaborative regime marks a further step forward and confirms the importance of the forest industry in the economic life of our communities. Furthermore, the agreement paves the way to the impending implementation of the government strategy concerning the restoration of the woodland caribou habitat,” Minister Laurent Lessard noted. “The conclusion of agreements with our Aboriginal partners demonstrates our desire to work together for Québec’s development. To ensure sustainable northern development, our priorities must include environmental protection throughout its territory, including the protection of forests and the preservation of endangered species such as the woodland caribou. We must ensure that the heritage that comprises our natural resources is a source of prosperity and wealth for all Quebecers, north and south of the 49th parallel, for decades to come,” Premier Couillard concluded.

  • Interview of Geoffrey Kelley by Alexandre Marceau
    Interview of Geoffrey Kelley by Alexandre Marceau Sunday, March 11, 2019 Geoffrey Kelley was a member of the National Assembly of Quebec for Jacques-Cartier, from 1994 to 2018, representing the Quebec Liberal Party. He gave one of the plenary addresses at Bishop’s University’s Symposium to commemorate the centenary of World War One on November 9th 2018. This is a transcript of a later interview between Geoffrey Kelley and student intern Alexandre Marceau at the former’s home in Montreal. Alex: What is your relationship to Frederick G. Scott? Geoffrey: My grandmother, Mary Scott, was F. G Scott’s only daughter (of seven children) and eventually married Arthur Kelley, who, like Frederick, was also an Anglican minister. Mary and Arthur both met in Quebec City at St Matthew’s church, which is right in the city and is no longer a church. It is now a public library. Arthur went there to take up his career as an Anglican minister and married the boss’ daughter. Alex: Since Frederick passed away eleven years before your birth, did you get to know Mary’s siblings? Geoffrey: Certainly, of the six sons, I knew four. Charles died at the turn of the 20th century when he was nine, and of the five remaining boys, there was Henry Hutton (Harry) Scott, who was killed in the First World War and whom I never knew but in story. So I knew the other four sons, William, Elton, Frank, and Arthur, in varying degrees and they were all characters. They also all talked a great deal about F.

Unfortunately, the dying process can be slow or involve a lengthy decline. What is our society’s answer to the suffering experienced by some people at the end of life or with a degenerative illness? How should we respond to demands for assisted death? In other words, how do we ensure that people die with dignity? We posed this question to experts in a number of disciplines, particularly medicine, law, ethics, sociology, and psychology. They enlightened us on the various issues surrounding the question of dying with dignity. The quality of their briefs and presentations at the public hearingsn i February and March 2010 reflect a desire to lay a solid foundation for debate. We sincerely thank them. We also wish to stress the dedication of the people who accompany palliative care patients right up to their last breath, a reality we were able to glimpse during the hearings. This document is the fruit of the reflections and questions that arose during our discussions with these experts.

(AQCPE) As part of the larger fight against the Couillard government's austerity agenda, daycare workers, administrators, parents and the population in general have taken a stand against the $120 million in cuts announced to Quebec's subsidized daycare program. Recent actions to defend accessible public childcare include the February 7 Quebec-wide rally, as well as a February 4 rally in front of the National Assembly in the lead-up to the Liberal pre-session caucus. The mass mobilization campaign also includes videos, a petition, visibility campaigns at each early childhood education centre (CPE), and human chains surrounding daycares on the first of every month, in the spirit of the monthly human chains staged in defence of public education since May 2015. The Quebec Association of Early Childhood Centres (AQCPE), and the organization Toujours fous de nos enfants (Forever Crazy About Our Kids) wrote on their Facebook pages in preparation for the February 7 action: "The CPE network has already given a lot -- more than $400 million since 2006.

  • Final Report
    Public Inquiry Commission on relations between Indigenous Peoples and certain public services in Québec: listening, reconciliation and progress Final report Public Inquiry Commission on relations between Indigenous Peoples and certain public services in Québec: listening, reconciliation and progress Final report NOTE TO READERS In keeping with the Indigenous languages, the Commission has endeavoured to reconcile the terminology used with the spelling preferred by the Indigenous peoples themselves. As such, the names used to designate the First Nations communities are those used in the Indigenous languages. The same goes for the nations. The unchanging nature of certain Indigenous words (e.g. Inuit) has also been observed. The term First Nations includes the Abénakis, Anishnabek (Algonquins), Atikamekw Nehirowisiw, Eeyou (Cree), Hurons-Wendat, Innus, Malécites, Mi’gmaq, Mohawks and Naskapis. The expression Indigenous peoples designates First Nations and Inuit collectively. Also note that translations of quotations are our own, unless otherwise stated. This publication was drafted following the work of the Public Inquiry Commission on relations between Indigenous Peoples and certain public services in Québec : listening, reconciliation and progress.

  • Government Action Plan Against Homophobia 2011 2016
    GOVERNMENT ACTION PLAN Moving together towards social equality against Unity in diversity homophobia 2011­2016 Moving together towards social equality Unity in diversity This document has been produced by the Ministère de la Justice with assistance from the governement departements involved in the fight against homophobia. Legal deposit – 2011 Bibliothèque et Archives nationales du Québec Library and Archives Canada ISBN : 978­2­550­61959­8 (PDF) © Gouvernement du Québec, 2011 All right reserved for all countries. This document may not be reproduced by any means or translated, even in part, without authorization from the Ministère de la Justice du Québec. Message from the premier It is an unfortunate fact that many people still suffer, today, as the result of homophobic behaviour in Québec society, perhaps because differences, of whatever kind, are noticed—they arouse curiosity, create a reaction, and provoke certain kinds of behaviour. However, it does not take long to realize that Québec society is moving rapidly forward and remains remarkably open­minded. Specifically with regard to recognition for the rights and interests of members of sexual minorities, Québec can take pride in the leading role it plays. Nevertheless, we still have work to do to overcome prejudice. The Government Action Plan Against Homophobia 2011­2016 provides the tools needed by players in all spheres of activity to combat homophobic behaviour. In many cases, although the players are willing to take action, they are unaware of the tools available to them; in other cases, the tools do not yet exist. This action plan offers a path leading to the achievement of the objectives targeted in the Québec Policy Against Homophobia, marking a precedent in North American society.

  • Shaping the Public Memory of Sir John A. Macdonald in Ontario and Quebec, 1891-1967
    The Old Chieftain’s New Image: Shaping the Public Memory of Sir John A. Macdonald in Ontario and Quebec, 1891-1967 by Yves Y. Pelletier A thesis submitted to the Department of History in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Queen’s University Kingston, Ontario, Canada December 2010 Copyright © Yves Y. Pelletier, 2010 Abstract Sir John A. Macdonald has been a political figure frequently referenced in Canadian history. Yet no study has explored the evolution of his public memory. This study provides a focused examination of the attempts by Canada’s federal political parties to shape Macdonald’s public memory. The period of study began immediately following the death of Sir John A. Macdonald on June 6, 1891 and continued until the Centennial Celebrations of Confederation in 1967. The study first aims to identify and analyze events and activities organized or supported by Canada’s federal political class which provide opportunities to shape Macdonald’s public memory. The study then explores through the lens of official memory their motivation to engage in his commemoration and to shape his memory in specific ways. The objective of this study is to answer two specific research questions. The first asks if Canada’ federal political leaders were interested and successful in shaping Macdonald’s public memory during the period of study to allow the emergence of a seemingly national hegemonic figure acceptable to both political parties. The second asks if the federal political parties’ attempts to depict Macdonald as a unifying national symbol were picked up in the media in Ontario and Quebec and in both official languages, thereby reinforcing his hegemonic status for the federal political class.
