  • Women and the Equality Deficit: the Impact of Restructuring Canada's Social Programs
    Women and the Equality Deficit: The Impact of Restructuring Canada’s Social Programs Shelagh Day Gwen Brodsky The research and publication of this study were funded by Status of Women Canada’s Policy Research Fund. This document expresses the views and opinions of the authors and does not necessarily represent the official policy or opinion of Status of Women Canada or the Government of Canada. March 1998 PREFACE Status of Women Canada’s Policy Research Fund was instituted in 1996 to support independent, nationally relevant policy research on gender equality issues. In order to determine the structure and priorities of the Policy Research Fund, Status of Women Canada held consultations from March to May 1996 with a range of national, regional and local women’s organizations, researchers and research organizations, community, social service and professional groups, other levels of government, and individuals interested in women’s equality. Consultation participants indicated their support for the Fund to address both long-term emerging policy issues as well as urgent issues, and recommended that a small, non-governmental external committee would play a key role in identifying priorities, selecting research proposals for funding, and exercising quality control over the final research papers. As an interim measure during the fiscal year 1996-1997, consulation participants agreed that short-term research projects addressing immediate needs should be undertaken while the external committee was being established to develop longer-term priorities. In this context, policy research on issues surrounding the Canada Health and Social Transfer (CHST) and access to justice were identified as priorities. On June 21, 1996, a call for research proposals on the impact of the CHST on women was issued.

  • Judy and Peter Went to Ottawa
    Judy and Peter Went to Ottawa by Edward Greenspon Globe and Mail Focus February 11, 1995 Ottawa Back in Grade 12 in Annapolis Royal Regional Academy, a boy named Pete sat in the third row right behind a girl named Judy. They were two gifted students attending a small school on the edge of Nova Scotia’s Annapolis Valley. And for the five years after Judy moved to town in Grade 8 until their graduation in 1960, they had each other to provide a handy gauge of their progress. In a word, they competed, in the finest sense of the word. Today, Peter Nicholson, 52, and Judith Maxwell, 51, are two of the most influential thinkers in Ottawa, members of the select group of people who provide the intellectual fodder off which governments feed. They occupy that critical middle ground between academe and politics, linking the world of ideas to the world of action. What they think matters. What they think also differs. Mr. Nicholson is still very much the son of a former provincial Liberal finance minister. Ms. Maxwell is very much the daughter of an Anglican clergyman. In terms of the current Liberal government in Ottawa, they could be stand-ins for Paul Martin and Lloyd Axworthy - the fiscal conscience and social conscience. “I guess you can say they are the two wings of Liberalism,” remarks Canadian Labour Congress economist Andrew Jackson. Mr. Nicholson is right in the thick of the action, as the personal guru to Finance Minister Paul Martin. The two men have known each other since they attended periodic policy-wonk weekends in 1979 organized by former Liberal cabinet minister Hugh Faulkner.

  • Episode 11: the News Media and COVID- 19 with Sean Speer
    POLICY SPEAKING PODCAST Episode 11: The News Media and COVID- 19 With Sean Speer, Senator Simons and David Skok Edward Greenspon- Good afternoon, I'm Edward Greenspon; president and CEO of the Public Policy Forum. Today we're going to chat about news media, and what can be done about three things that have come together right now, the long term decline in a business model for original news produced by journalists, the added drop off, which is the new thing in ad revenues from COVID-19, and the fact that crisis times are when the community leans most heavily on reliable news. We all understand these challenges are not new, but they've been amplified by the COVID-19 crisis. I happened to write an Op-ed last week with some ideas of what could be done about this, I don't know of any ideas that aren't flawed in one way or another, mine included; then again, if news organizations can't afford journalists, that's not good for society either. I've asked three people to join me today to talk about this issue. The first is my guest co-host PPF Fellow and resident Sean Speer, who was also co-author of our recently released competitiveness paper, New North Star Two and a former economic adviser to Stephen Harper when he was Prime Minister. That is Stephen Harper was Prime Minister, I probably didn't write that sentence very well. Sean has not yet been Prime Minister, although it is perhaps in the cards. After our conversation, we'll be joined in the podcast by the former journalist and now Senator Paula Simons; and finally, by David Skok, founder of The Logic, a digital publication that specializes in coverage of technology companies' initiatives.

  • Playing by the New Washington Rules: the U.S.–Canada Relationship, 1994–2003
    Playing by the New Washington Rules: The U.S.–Canada Relationship, 1994–2003 JOHN HERD THOMPSON ight years after its publication, the special issue of The American Review Eof Canadian Studies on “The State of the Canada–United States Relationship, 1995” seems almost surreal. Co-editors David Leyton- Brown and Joseph T. Jockel entitled the volume Weathering the Calm; their introduction described a “comfortable and unruffled” relationship. “The big bilateral issues have been dealt with,” they concluded, “and the current big issues are not bilateral ones.” The words “trilateral,” “multilateral,” and even “plurilateral” recurred in the articles that made up the volume. The United States and Canada, editors and contributors agreed, would work together with Mexico in a trilateral North American context, but would work together also in multilateral contexts within the hemisphere and around the globe.1 The lead article in Weathering the Calm was “Promoting Plurilateral Partnership: Managing United States–Canada Relations in the Post-Cold War World,” by John Kirton. “The United States–Canada relationship during the mid-1990s,” Kirton argued, “has become an even more intense, cooperative, and close partnership.” Canada and the United States would work together, he predicted, to “operate, deepen, and broaden…the new NAFTA regime.” The new independent institutions that the two countries created for NAFTA would remove trade and environmental “disputes from high-level political controversy,” and make possible “a more equal balance of beneficial outcomes.”

  • Searching for a National Unity Peace, from Meech Lake to the Clarity Bill
    Searching for a National Unity Peace, from Meech Lake to the Clarity Bill Edward Butcher Department of Political Science McGill University, Montreal June 2003 A thesis submitted to McGill University in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of Master of Arts Edward Butcher 2003 Abstract For much of the last twenty years, political leaders and academics have assumed that the survival of Canada depends on constitutional reform, and never more so than in the wake of the 1995 Quebec referendum. This thesis updates the literature by explaining the remarkable story of the last several years: the achievement of a national unity peace in the absence of constitutional reform. The explanation centres on the post-referendum shift in federal strategy from constitutional reform to Plan B, a strategy based on the rules of secession that has its origins, it is argued, in the Reform Party's response to Mulroney- era constitutional reform. The thesis concludes that Plan B was a successful national unity strategy because it made secession seem risky and undesirable, but also because the strategy - unlike constitutional reform - was based on widespread national support and on the viability of the constitutional status quo. n Resume Depuis la plus grande partie des vingt dernieres annees, les politiciens et les universitaires supposent que la survie du Canada depende de la reforme constitutionnelle, et jamais plus ainsi qu'a la suite du referendum de 1995 au Quebec. Cette these met a jour la litterature en expliquant l'histoire remarquable des dernieres annees: l'accomplissement de la paix d'unite nationale sans reforme constitutionnelle.
