  • 1997 ITAC Education and Advocacy Project Final Report Marcia
    Final Report on ITAC Education and Advocacy Project for Kootenay WITT, WETC and the Ministry of Women’s Equality, October 1997: My work began on the ITAC issue when, as a member of the Provincial Apprenticeship Board, representing equity advocacy issues, I spoke up at the initial report from the Minister’s Committee on Governance at the November Board meeting. Several members of the PAB sat on the Minister’s Committee. I said that I felt equity issues had not been well considered, and that the context to address equity issues was missing from their report. I was assured by then Deputy Minister George Ford that “of course it would be effectively dealt with and included.” It came up again and again at subsequent Board meetings, and each time, I was assured it would be included in the final report. When the semi-final report came out on February 11, Equity was not included. I asked that my deep concerns be clearly stated in the Minutes, and I said that I was now being forced to break ranks with the Board and deal with the issue in a political fashion. B I met privately in February with the Minister of Women’s Equality while she was in the Kootenays, and this was one of the issues under discussion, and I asked her for her active support on the ITAC issues. Also in February, I sent a very strong letter to the Ministers responsible, still as member of the PAB, calling the governments commitment to equity into question. As a result, when the Final Report on Governance came out, the “duty to consult with equity seeking groups” and “incorporate their issues into the ITAC agenda” was included.

    Water and Social Activism in Canada by Kelly Busch B.A. University of Victoria, 1992 A thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS in Interdisciplinary Studies We accept this thesis as conforming to the required standard Dr. Rennie Warburton, Supervisor (Department of Sociology) Dr. Peter Stephenson, Committee Member (Department of Anthropology) Dr. Ken Hatt, Committee Member (Department of Sociology) Dr. Honore France, Committee Member (Faculty of Education) Dr. Pamela Moss, External Examiner (Faculty of Human and Social Development) © Kelly Busch UNIVERSITY OF VICTORIA All rights reserved. This work may not be reproduced in whole or in part, by photocopy or other means, without permission of the author. ii ABSTRACT: This thesis on water and social activism in Canada is a journey into the realm of shared social understanding. Water is too precious to all forms of life to simply permit commodification for the benefit of a few at the expense of the many. The Sun Belt case adjudicated under the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) when compared with what prevailed under previous Canadian national law reveals severe limits to state sovereignty. A high measure of support has already been manifest around concerns and considerations which pertain to water and the potential for the growth of social activism with reference to water may well be unprecedented in Canada. There are fundamental inequalities found within the Sun Belt case. Current international trade policy coupled with private banking practices does not value the principles of sustainability, equality and justice because it is committed to the commodification of the “commons”.

    Kootenay Women In Trades and Technology RR #1 Winlaw, British Columbia V0G 2J0 (250) 226-7624 Fx: 226-7954 E-mail: [email protected] July 9, 1997 The Honourable Corky Evans, Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food MLA Nelson/Creston Dear Corky: I am writing in the hope that you will share my concerns at the cabinet table, and that we may use the opportunity to revise the Industrial Training and Apprenticeship Legislation to ensure effective representation from those who advocate an increase in the participation rates of women, visible minorities, aboriginal people and persons with disabilities. While I am pleased that that increasing the participation rates was acknowledged and built into the Mandate of the new Commission, it was only accomplished at the 11th hour and required the date of tabling to be moved forward. It is a credit to equity advocates in the community, and to the Minister responsible, that the Ministry of Women’s Equality achieved a place at the table. All of these voices were raised for 6 - 8 months prior to the June tabling, with little effect. That there was finally a breakthrough, I credit to the Honourable Paul Ramsey’s shop. But that seat for a government ministry does not take the place of constituent voices which have the experience and expertise to identify the necessary elements and effect real change in the current shameful participation rates. It only proves the importance of having a place at the table. Someone asked me recently why I had not been able to achieve those changes during my tenure as a Provincial Apprenticeship Board member, and Chair of the Equity Committee.
