We are not only a hospital, but a family and a community. As experts in tertiary and quaternary care, we have the opportunity to meet and treat tens of thousands of children from all over Quebec and Canada every year. Even with the challenges we currently face, we continue to thrive and provide the highest quality of healthcare to our patients. To all our donors, thank you for your generosity and commitment to improve the condition and well-being of our patients. Thankfully, we work alongside a strong Foundation, one that is tirelessly dedicated to our institution and has helped offset some of our financial concerns. Whether it’s helping us purchase a cooling system for the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, or funding Child Life programs, like Dr. Clown and music therapy, everything counts and everything helps. We are now in the process of opening up a new chapter in our lives: the Glen. The new Children’s will be a state-of-the-art pediatric hospital and one that will be better suited to the needs of patients, families and our staff. I am excited about the future of the Children’s and I look forward to working with all of you for many years to come. MARTINE ALFONSO ASSOCIATE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR THE MONTREAL CHILDREN’S HOSPITAL 03 WE TAKE THE UTMOST CARE OF YOUR DONATIONS Thank you for another record year! For the second year in a row, our fundraising results have hit new heights, with $23.2 million raised for the Hospital, an increase of 15%. Our corporate and individual donors, partner foundations, coupled with those who organized or participated in the over 300 events in support of The Children’s have once again raised the bar on behalf of the Hospital’s young patients and their families. There is no question that these funds will help The Children’s outstanding medical staff make life brighter for generations of sick children to come. These exceptional results are a reflection of the fact that good relationships are built on trust. As sick children and their families place their trust in The Children’s expert health professionals so do you place your trust in us to ensure that your wishes are respected and your funds used where they are needed most. Your confidence in us is well placed. For the second year in a row, MoneySense magazine’s Charity 100 gave our Foundation the highest rating among hospital foundations across Canada, both pediatric and adult, for our efficiency in managing your donations and for the excellence and transparency of our governance. We are very proud of this achievement and hope you see it as a reflection of our commitment to you and to the health of our community’s children. As we close The Best Care for Children Campaign, we can see our new home on the corner of St-Jacques and Décarie and collectively take great satisfaction in the knowledge that it will serve as a beacon for generations to come. Together we can accomplish great things. Together we have accomplished great things. For that, we thank you. GREG ROKOS MARIE-JOSÉE GARIÉPY CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD PRESIDENT 04 A SPRINGBOARD FOR $5 MILLION AND NEW HOPE FOR FAMILIES One of The Children’s most talented researcher/clinicians, hematologist/ oncologist Dr. Nada Jabado, has been awarded a $5 million grant* to further her groundbreaking research into the genetic mutations responsible for up to 40% of glioblastomas in children. Glioblastoma is a fatal cancer of the brain that does not respond to currently available therapies including chemotherapy, radiotherapy or any other targeted therapies. Dr Jabado heads the Brain Tumour Research Laboratory at the Research Institute of the McGill University Health Centre at the Montreal Children’s Hospital. Her findings present new hope for affected children and their families of finding a cure where none existed before as this new pathway she identified was not previously shown to help drive this cancer. The grant aims to find a cure and would have been impossible to obtain without visionary donors like you. In order to qualify for funding, all applicants must not only demonstrate scientific relevance and impact, but also ensure that 20% of the total amount requested comes from other sources. Thanks to the Montreal Children’s Hospital Foundation and McGill University, Dr. Jabado and her team were able to fulfill this important criterion. Your donations were crucial in helping Dr. Jabado obtain this major grant. When it comes to funding research, every donor dollar has the potential to act as a springboard for attracting other significant sources of funding. In this case, your support was a catalyst for bringing in $5 million in research money. This grant presents remarkable possibilities for sick children and their families, possibilities that exist because of your contributions to the Hospital. Thanks to you, Dr. Jabado and her team now have the resources to take a giant step forward in saving future young lives that cannot be saved today. * Génome Canada, The Institute of Cancer Research (ICR/CIHR), Le ministère de l’Enseignement supérieur, de la Recherche, de la Science et de la Technologie au Quebec and Génome Québec. 05 WHERE OUR DONATIONS COME FROM… Donations to the Montreal Children’s Hospital Foundation come from four main sources: MAJOR GIFTS ANNUAL SUPPORT Donors of major gifts are true visionaries.

    September 14, 2020 Hon. David Lametti, PC, MP Minister of Justice and Attorney-General of Canada House of Commons Ottawa, ON K1A 0A6 Dear Minister Lametti, Re: Appointment of BIPOC judges to Canada’s federal courts We are members of the legal community that represent and/or support clients in Canada’s federal courts. We are writing to urge you to take immediate action by appointing Black, Indigenous and People of Colour (BIPOC) judges to the federal courts and amending the criteria for their appointment to ensure the experiences of BIPOC applicants are valued. It is undeniable that the current racial composition of our federal courts does not reflect the diversity of Canada. Just last month, Supreme Court Chief Justice Richard Wagner highlighted the importance of racial representation on the bench in stating, “All Canadians should be able to see themselves reflected in their justice system. Justice should not make a person feel like an outsider or an ‘other’ when they confront it.”1 The legacy of centuries of institutional racism has led to a dominantly white federal bench making decisions governing the actions and behaviors of BIPOC communities, without ever having experienced the prejudices and racial biases faced by these communities. In the Federal Court’s current roster of 35 judges and 9 supernumeraries, there are only two BIPOC judges. This is especially troubling given that 63% of the Federal Court’s docket deals with immigration, refugee and Indigenous cases, areas in which almost all applicants are BIPOC.2 The Federal Court of Appeal and the Supreme Court of Canada, despite commitments to racial inclusion, continue to be all white benches.

UTILITIES AND INDUSTRY DEVELOPMENTS Supreme Court rules Canadian Carbon Tax is constitutional On 2021 March 25 in a 6-3 decision, the Supreme Court of Canada ruled that the Federal Government’s national carbon tax is entirely constitutional, putting an end to the two-year legal proceeding with conservative premiers over the policy. In the 405-page decision, Chief Justice Richard Wagner, speaking on behalf of the majority, found the Federal Government’s 2018 Greenhouse Gas Pollution Pricing Act — which requires provinces to meet minimum national standards to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by applying a price on the use of fossil fuels by large industries or consumers fueling their cars — “is critical to our response to an existential threat to human life in Canada and around the world.” Justice Malcolm Rowe and Justice Russell Brown wrote lengthy dissents, arguing the majority decision would give Ottawa precedent to set minimum national standards in other areas of provincial jurisdiction, “including intra-provincial trade and commerce, health, and the management of natural resources.” “This is a model of federalism that rejects our Constitution and rewrites the rules of Confederation,” Brown wrote.

Available from: http://ssrn.com/abstract=2511239 Abstract Most of the recent appointees to the Supreme Court of Canada have participated in a new Canadian judicial nomination process initiated by the current Conservative government. As originally formulated in early policy platforms, the process was intended to mimic features of US Senate judicial confirmation hearings and so would highlight the distinction (popular in US political discourse) between ‘applying’ and ‘making’ law. This led to widespread fears that any new public process would politicize judicial appointments and functions at the Supreme Court. The process turned out to be much more tepid than anticipated and so raises questions about what Canadians may have learned as a consequence of this new nomination process. This paper undertakes a qualitative analysis of reporting of four nomination processes from a select number of Canadian newspapers. The main object is to determine the degree to which readers might have been alerted to the distinction between law and politics or, put another way, between judicial activism and restraint. It turns out that this framing was not dominant in the coverage and that, instead, distinctive Canadian political preoccupations, like language politics, got channeled through this new political opportunity structure.
