  • Parliamentary Internship Programme 2020-21 Annual Report
    Parliamentary Internship Programme 2020-21 Annual Report Annual General Meeting Canadian Political Science Association June 11, 2021 Dr. Paul Thomas Director Web: pip-psp.org Twitter: @PIP_PSP Instagram: @pip-psp Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ParlInternship/ PIP Annual Report 2021 Director’s Message I am delighted to present the Parliamentary Internship Programme’s (PIP) 2020-21 Annual Report to the Canadian Political Science Association (CPSA). The COVID-19 pandemic dramatically reshaped the experience of the 2020-21 internship cohort relative to previous years. Such changes began with a mostly-virtual orientation in September, and continued with remote work in their MP placements, virtual study tours, and Brown-Bag lunches over Zoom. Yet while limiting some aspects of the PIP experience, the pandemic provided opportunities as well. The interns took full advantage of the virtual format to meet with academics, politicians, and other public figures who were inaccessible to previous cohorts relying on in-person meetings. They also learned new skills for online engagement that will serve them well in the hybrid work environment that is emerging as COVID-19 recedes. One thing the pandemic could not change was the steadfast support of the PIP’s various partners. We are greatly indebted to our sponsors who chose to prioritize their contributions to PIPs despite the many pressures they faced. In addition to their usual responsibilities for the Programme, both the PIP’s House of Commons Liasion, Scott Lemoine, and the Programme Assistant, Melissa Carrier, also worked tirelessly to ensure that the interns were kept up to date on the changing COVID guidance within the parliamentary preccinct, and to ensure that they had access to the resources they needed for remote work.

Canadian brewing facilities produce 85% of the beer sold in Canada. The Conference Board of Canada estimates beer sales support 149,000 jobs, $5.3 billion in wages and $5.7 billion in government tax revenues. In 2019, Canadian brewers paid nearly $700 million in federal excise duty alone. We applaud government’s support efforts to date, notably the Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy and Canada Emergency Business Account, which are providing relief to businesses and easing the economic impact on Canadians. But at the same time, we are hearing from many brewers that more sector-specific interventions are required. The Ontario government’s decision last week to suspend their provincial beer tax increase planned for June 1 will prove to be helpful to brewers. We are asking for your government to follow Ontario’s lead and implement two immediate and one future support measure that will allow brewing companies to survive and recover from this crisis. We are calling on the Government of Canada to immediately: • Defer upcoming monthly excise duty payments until September, and • Roll-back the 1.9% excise duty increase that went into effect on April 1.
