Ministerial Forum Toolkit November 3, 2010 Ministerial Forum Toolkit The AAMDC’s ministerial forum toolkit for the Fall 2010 Convention is now available online. The toolkit includes minister information, portfolios and current issues for each ministry. We believe members will find this toolkit useful when formulating questions or to understand which departments have a hand in significant rural municipal issues. The Ministerial Forum Toolkit is attached to this bulletin in PDF form. It is also available on our website here. We will have several copies will be available on each table at convention.

  • National Policy Dialogue on Landscape Conservation
    Toward a National Landscape Conservation Strategy1 Agenda April 16-17, 2009 Lincoln House 113 Brattle Street Cambridge, Massachusetts Purpose of the National Policy Dialogue In response to this growing interest in landscape conservation, the Lincoln Institute of Land Policy and the Center for Natural Resources and Environmental Policy are convening a two-day national policy dialogue to: 1. Clarify the reasons why landscape conservation is imperative as we move into the 21st century; 2. Synthesize what we know about landscape conservation; 3. Clarify the needs, interests, and plans of the Obama Administration along these lines; and 4. Develop a national strategy for large-scale land and water conservation. 1 In this context, landscape conservation refers to the social, economic, and environmental values associated with large-scale landscapes – both land and water ecosystems. Program Agenda Page 1 Toward a National Landscape Conservation Strategy Thursday, April 16th 8:00 Continental Breakfast at the Lincoln House 8:30 Welcome, Introductions, and Overview Armando Carbonell, Lincoln Institute of Land Policy Matt McKinney, Center for Natural Resources and Environmental Policy Frame the Problem/Opportunity 9:00 Why Large-scale Landscape Conservation? A Paradigm Example During this opening session, the participants will identify and review the reasons why landscape conservation is imperative as we move into the 21st century. To catalyze and ground this discussion, we will begin by considering recent and ongoing efforts to facilitate regional, landscape conservation in the Crown of the Continent. This presenting case will allow the participants to identify key issues related to what catalyzes landscape-scale initiatives, including who leads and participates in such efforts, how regions are defined, and so on.

  • Alberta to Better Integrate Oil and Gas Policy and Regulatory System Regulatory Enhancement Task Force Delivers Report to Government
    January 28, 2011 Alberta to better integrate oil and gas policy and regulatory system Regulatory Enhancement Task Force delivers report to government Calgary... Coordinated policy development and an integrated regulatory system for upstream oil and gas highlight a report from the task force established to review Alberta’s regulatory system. “I would like to thank Diana McQueen, Cal Dallas, and Evan Berger for their excellent work,” said Energy Minister Ron Liepert. “Government has accepted the report. The recommendations will now be immediately taken through the appropriate government review process for implementation. Legislation will be introduced this spring to begin implementation of the task force report.” The task force report and recommendations include: Establishing a new Policy Management Office and ensuring integration of natural resource policies; Creating a single oil and gas regulatory body; Providing clear public engagement processes; Using a common approach to risk assessment and management; Adopting performance measures to enable continuous system improvement; and Creating a mechanism to help resolve disputes between landowners and companies, and enforce agreements where required. “To maintain Alberta’s competitiveness the regulatory system must be effective, efficient, adaptable, predictable, fair and transparent,” said task force chair, Parliamentary Assistant for Energy Diana McQueen. “We will not compromise our responsibilities to environmental stewardship and the protection of public safety and public interests.” The review included analyses of all processes in place to develop and ensure compliance with provincial policies around upstream oil and gas development, and extensive engagement of First Nations, the oil and gas industry, and individuals from landowner, municipal, and environmental groups. Between March 31 and October 1, 2010 the task force hosted three rounds of engagement through a series of briefings, meetings, workshops and a forum.
