  • Insight Trudeau Without Cheers Assessing 10 Years of Intergovernmental Relations
    IRPP Harper without Jeers, Insight Trudeau without Cheers Assessing 10 Years of Intergovernmental Relations September 2016 | No. 8 Christopher Dunn Summary ■■ Stephen Harper’s approach to intergovernmental relations shifted somewhat from the “open federalism” that informed his initial years as prime minister toward greater multilateral engagement with provincial governments and certain unilateral moves. ■■ Harper left a legacy of smaller government and greater provincial self-reliance. ■■ Justin Trudeau focuses on collaboration and partnership, including with Indigenous peoples, but it is too early to assess results. Sommaire ■■ En matière de relations intergouvernementales, l’approche de Stephen Harper s’est progressivement éloignée du « fédéralisme ouvert » de ses premières années au pouvoir au profit d’un plus fort engagement multilatéral auprès des provinces, ponctué ici et là de poussées d’unilatéralisme. ■■ Gouvernement réduit et autonomie provinciale accrue sont deux éléments clés de l’héritage de Stephen Harper. ■■ Justin Trudeau privilégie la collaboration et les partenariats, y compris avec les peuples autochtones, mais il est encore trop tôt pour mesurer les résultats de sa démarche. WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO INTERGOVERNMENTAL RELATIONS IN CANADA? Surprises. In October 2015, we had an election with a surprise ending. The Liberal Party, which had been third in the polls for months, won a clear majority. The new prime minister, Justin Trudeau, provided more surprises, engaging in a whirl- wind of talks with first ministers as a group and with social partners that the previous government, led by Stephen Harper, had largely ignored. He promised a new covenant with Indigenous peoples, the extent of which surprised even them. Change was in the air.

  • Letter to MP Adam Vaughan From
    November 21, 2018 Mr. Adam Vaughan Member of Parliament Spadina – Fort York Toronto, Ontario Sent via Email Dear Mr. Vaughan: PortsToronto followed with interest your meeting held November 17, 2018, regarding the federal government’s Ports Modernization Review. Given that there is a public process underway regarding Canadian ports, we believe it is important that information being shared is accurate and factual. Specific to your comments regarding the governance of PortsToronto, I would like to correct some of the comments you made in the spirit of ensuring accurate and fair dialogue and discussion. In the meeting, which was recorded and posted online, you claim at various points throughout that “they (i.e. the Port Authority) nominate a list of candidates” and “effectively the Board appoints itself by canvassing through its own system which is not public.” These statements are inaccurate and misleading and a discredit to the very process in which your government has been involved. In fact, 50 per cent of our Board has been appointed since the current government was elected in 2015. As you are aware, six members of our Board are appointed through a User Group Nomination Process as mandated in our Letters Patent. There are four User Groups: CLASS 1: Port Related Activities/Operators; CLASS 2: Airport; CLASS 3: Commercial Users; and CLASS 4: Recreational Business Activities. In order to ensure a factual and accurate understanding of the User Group process we thought that the following summary of the typical User Group process would be beneficial. Typically the User Group process is conducted as follows: 1.
