February 28Th, 2021 the Honourable Brian Pallister Premier of Manitoba
February 28th, 2021 The Honourable Brian Pallister Premier of Manitoba Room 204 Legislative Building 450 Broadway, Winnipeg, MB R3C 0V8 Dear Premier Pallister, In January, 2021, I wrote to you encouraging the Province of Manitoba to ensure the full participation of the Manitoba Metis Federation in Manitoba’s vaccine planning and distribution. I was hopeful, after conversations with Ministers Stefanson and Clarke, that progress was being made. While I understand that some meetings have taken place, it is unfortunate that significant issues appear to remain with regards to the vaccine distribution process in Manitoba – notably the issue of equal access for all Indigenous populations. I read with great concern the CBC Manitoba article of February 24th, 2021 that outlined that Métis and Inuit citizens will not be prioritized to receive COVID-19 vaccines. The National Advisory Committee on Immunization (NACI) states that “adults living in Indigenous communities, which include First Nations, Métis, and Inuit communities, where infection can have disproportionate consequences such as those living in remote or isolated areas where access to health care may be limited, should be prioritized to receive initial doses of COVID-19 vaccines.” It is well established that Indigenous peoples disproportionately face poorer health outcomes, which includes Métis and Inuit, making them more vulnerable to COVID-19, which is why NACI made this recommendation. The rapid rise in cases in First Nations communities has already shown the need to prioritize vaccinations and we can see that working as the number of new cases continue to decline. This underscores the importance of tracking and sharing data for all Indigenous populations.

The Honourable Jason Kenney Premier of Alberta 307 Legislature Building Edmonton, AB, T5K 2B6
The Honourable Jason Kenney Premier of Alberta 307 Legislature Building Edmonton, AB, T5K 2B6 March 19, 2020 Dear Premier, Re: Action Needed Now in Support of Individuals with Developmental Disabilities and Their Families We very much appreciate the recent and necessary actions you and your government have taken with respect to Albertans in general and services and supports for those with specific vulnerabilities, such seniors and women and children who rely on shelters for safety. We support the Alberta Nonprofit Network (ABNN) in its reQuest to have the government offer a broader array of assistance to non-profit supports and services. In this light we want to ensure the voices of families of children and adult sons and daughters with developmental disabilities, persons with developmental disabilities themselves and those who support them, is not lost. The very vast majority of children and adults with developmental disabilities will only remain safe if they have personal supports in their lives. For as many as possible, this principally will come from families, but unsupported, families will still be at risk. And there are thousands who do not have family in their lives and require the support provided by agencies. Many individuals with developmental disabilities will not understand their degree of vulnerability, particularly as this population has a higher incidence of health challenges. They will not be able take the necessary precautions on their own and some cannot communicate readily or independently when they are not feeling well and potentially symptomatic. Yet others have parents who fall within vulnerable categories themselves and are thus limited in providing for their sons and daughters safety without risKing their own lives.

Allan Blakeney: Deftly Navigating Thunderstorms
ALLAN BLAKENEY: DEFTLY NAVIGATING THUNDERSTORMS Brian Topp Saskatchewan Premier Allan Blakeney was one of Canada’s greatest premiers, and there is much for us to learn from his approach to issues ranging from managing a resource dependent economy and the Charter, to how to run a fiscally responsible, economically literate and socially progressive social democratic government. Premier ministre de la Saskatchewan, Allan Blakeney a été l’un des meilleurs chefs provinciaux du pays et aurait beaucoup à nous apprendre aujourd’hui sur la gestion d’une économie tributaire des ressources naturelles, sur la Charte des droits et libertés tout comme le fonctionnement d’un gouvernement social-démocrate qui est à la fois financièrement responsable, économiquement compétent et socialement progressiste. first met Allan Blakeney, one of Canada’s greatest pre- CEOs; constitutional issues; national unity; trade issues.

The Honourable Jason Kenney Premier of Alberta Office of the Premier 307 Legislature Building 10800 - 97 Avenue Edmonton, Alberta T5K 2B6
The Honourable Jason Kenney Premier of Alberta Office of the Premier 307 Legislature Building 10800 - 97 Avenue Edmonton, Alberta T5K 2B6 Dear Premier Kenney, Alberta’s nonprofit and charitable sector is prepared to support the Government of Alberta in this time of crisis to ensure support for communities and individuals. We are a vital aspect of the wider support system and, in many cases, we are at the front-line of caring for this province’s most vulnerable. To ensure continued delivery of essential services in this time of need, the Alberta Nonprofit Network (ABNN)—advocating on behalf of Alberta’s nonprofit and charitable organizations— urges the Government of Alberta to ensure additional funding is available to front-line organizations and provide assurance and flexibility regarding ongoing funding agreements. We are eager to establish clear lines of communication with the Government of Alberta and continue discussions on the impacts of COVID-19 on service delivery and the expectations of the sector. We were pleased to see the province provide emergency funding of $60 million to support select COVID-19-related social services. It was a clear confirmation of the critical role civil society organizations will play in managing this pandemic. However, it is crucial to recognize that many other front-line nonprofits will see increased demand for their services, including care facilities, food banks, and mental health organizations. Beyond front-line COVID-19-related services, many more organizations are considering the short- and long-term impacts of COVID-19 on operations. Now that organizations have taken the necessary precautions to protect staff and stakeholders from the spread of the virus, their attention has turned to the impacts that social isolation measures will have on operations, staffing, service delivery, and funding, including lost casino and event revenue.

Ujjal Dosanjh: B.C.'S Indian-Born Premier
Contents Ujjal Dosanjh: B.C.'s Indian-Born Premier In an attempt to hang onto power and to stage a comeback in the court of public opinion after the resignation of Glen Clark, the beleaguered NDP government of British Columbia picks Ujjal Dosanjh as party leader and premier. The former attorney general of the province was selected following a process that itself was not without controversy. As a Canadian pioneer, Dosanjh becomes the first Indian-born head of government in Canada. A role model as well, the new premier has traveled far to a nation that early in the 1900s restricted Indian immigration by an order-in-council. Ironically, Dosanjh, no stranger to controversy and personal struggle, is the grandson of a revolutionary who was jailed by the British during India s fight for independence.

October 28, 2019 the Honourable Doug Ford, MPP Premier of Ontario Legislative Building Queen's Park Toronto, on M7A 1A1 Dear
October 28, 2019 The Honourable Doug Ford, MPP Premier of Ontario Legislative Building Queen’s Park Toronto, ON M7A 1A1 Dear Premier Ford, There are few, if any sectors, which have invested as much and created as many jobs in Ontario, or across Canada, as the cannabis sector. Indeed, Ontario is the centre of licensed cannabis production in Canada: of the 243 licenses to produce cannabis approved by Health Canada, 110 of these (45%) are located in Ontario. The most recent Statistics Canada survey showed that as of the end of 2018 that our sector directly or indirectly employed 5700 people across the province, and this number has significantly increased in 2019. Collectively, Canada’s licensed cannabis producers are very proud of our record and look forward to continuing to contribute to the growth of provincial and national economies. Unfortunately, our ability to continue to invest and sustain the jobs that we have created is being severely challenged by the province’s current retail cannabis policy framework. As Canada’s licensed cannabis producers, we’d like to work with you and your government to leverage the significant capital investment and direct and indirect jobs that we have created in the province. In this respect, we urge you to instruct your Ministers and officials to make every effort to enact all the necessary regulations to allow the number of private cannabis retail points of sale to significantly increase to support Canada’s licensed cannabis producers. Although the province has allocated an initial 25 private retail licenses and has begun the process of allocating a further 50 retail licenses this is clearly not enough.

[email protected] Dear Premier Kenney, on the National Day Of
April 28, 2021 The Hon. Jason Kenney Premier of Alberta By email: [email protected] Dear Premier Kenney, On the National Day of Mourning – while we mourn the 50 health care workers who died from COVID-19 and the over 85,000 who have become infected – we are calling on your government to urgently take the necessary steps to counter the pan-Canadian third wave of COVID-19, thereby supporting our frontline health care workers and their patients. Fears are mounting across the country about ICUs reaching capacity, and that we may soon have medical professionals being forced to choose who receives intensive care and who does not. The failure to address longstanding nursing shortages that predate the pandemic is playing a significant role in the challenges we currently face. We will need to work together to fix this soon, but for now we have a health emergency on our hands requiring our urgent attention. We cannot afford any delay. It is incumbent upon you to ensure our health care system can withstand the overwhelming pressures of the third wave – and that means taking measures reflective of an extremely dire public health emergency. Such measures should include – but not be limited to: prohibiting all non-essential travel into and out of Alberta until the third wave is fully under control across the country; limiting health care services to essential care, freeing up as much capacity as is possible to support our exceedingly overstretched ICU teams; an increased focus on fully vaccinating frontline nurses, health care workers and other essential workers; and implementing both self-isolation pay and paid sick days so that essential workers do not feel compelled to show up to work when they should be quarantining.

July 23, 2020 The Honourable Brian Pallister Premier of Manitoba Room 204 Legislative Building 450 Broadway Winnipeg, MB R3C 0V8 The Honourable Scott Fielding Minister of Finance Room 109 Legislative Building 450 Broadway Winnipeg, MB R3C 0V8 Dear Premier Pallister and Minister Fielding, As President of the Manitoba Nurses Union, I am joining with nurses’ unions across the country in calling for presumptive legislation for health care workers who contract COVID-19 to urgently be brought into place by your government. I am also voicing my support for the Manitoba Federation of Labour’s request for presumptive legislation for frontline workers in this province who contract COVID-19. As the World Health Organization notes, health care workers “face higher risks of potential COVID-19 infection in their efforts to protect the greater community.”1 Based on an analysis of data from the U.S. and the U.K., frontline health care workers had a nearly 12 times higher risk of testing positive for COVID-19 than individuals from the general population. The risk was even greater for those workers who lacked access to personal protective equipment (PPE).2 Frontline health care workers in this province have a higher likelihood of being exposed to COVID-19 because of their workplace, and in some cases, will be frequently exposed to it over lengthy durations. Through the nature of their work – treating COVID-19 patients or being exposed to an environment with individuals testing positive for COVID-19 – it should come as little surprise that health care workers have been disproportionately infected with the virus across the country.

Message from the Premier of Alberta
MESSAGE FROM THE PREMIER OF ALBERTA On behalf of the Government of Alberta, it is my pleasure to welcome everyone to the International Pipeline Conference 2018. The opportunity to build Canadian energy infrastructure is here. This is an important moment in Canada’s history; allowing us to put disagreements behind us and to work together as partners and members of the great Canadian family to build a greener, stronger, more sustainable, more prosperous, more equal, and more resilient country. We know pipelines are the safest, most cost-effective way to move oil to market. And we know there is a global appetite for oil that is developed responsibly. We have already seen interest in our products from markets around the globe – what we need is the means to get it there. This conference connects experts from around the world to exchange ideas and learn about exciting, new initiatives in the pipeline industry. From discussions on effective pipeline project delivery and design to reclamation and mitigation, we can all benefit from your shared ideas. I commend all the delegates here today for your dedication to work together to develop safe, reliable, and responsible ways to transport energy resources. Our government is committed to working in partnership with the energy industry and our provincial and federal partners to build pipelines and expand our market access. I’m very optimistic there is a way forward but this path requires a careful balance. We can protect our environment. We can fight climate change. We can protect good energy industry jobs. And we can build the infrastructure that connects us to the world.
