  • Slow Senate Start Amid Pandemic a Lesson to Limit Delay Tactics, Says
    Fourni par InfoMédia http://www.infomedia.gc.ca/parl Provided by NewsDesk Publié | Published: 2020-11-04 Hill Times Reçu | Received: 2020-11-04 00:01 (HNE) Slow Senate start amid pandemic a lesson to limit delay tactics, says CSG leader 'Our job is not to play procedural inside baseball around organization of the Senate, and we've done a lot of that, and I'm tired of it,' says Sen. Scott Tannas. Samantha Wright Allen With Senators finally nailing down hybrid sittings and striking committees after months of disagreement that led to limited work during the pandemic, one Senate leader says his colleagues have learned their lesson about capitulating to procedural delays and will likely have "little patience" for such tactics going forward. "Our job is not to play procedural inside baseball around organization of the Senate, and we've done a lot of that, and I'm tired of it. A lot of people are tired of it," said Canadian Senators Group Leader Scott Tannas. One example of that inside baseball played out on Oct. 29, said the Alberta Senator, with the long path to setting up committees coming to an end. The agreement guarantees allocated committee seats stay with various groups rather than individual Senators, which some said leaves powers in leaders' hands and violates the rules granting rights to Senators. The Progressive Senate Group (PSG), the smallest of the four recognized groups, said the vote in the Chamber-held before hybrid sittings were instituted-was done at the expense of giving all Senators a voice, while the other three groups said a clear majority supported the move.

Initially the award was endowed to provide an annual cash prize of $25,000.3 In 2005, the Giller Prize partnered with Scotiabank to create the Scotiabank Giller Prize. Under the new arrangement, the annual purse doubled in size to $50,000, with $40,000 going to the winner and $2,500 going to each of four additional finalists.4 Beginning in 2008, $50,000 was given to the winner and $5,000 * Andrew Irvine holds the position of Professor and Head of Economics, Philosophy and Political Science at the University of British Columbia, Okanagan.

  • Senators Support Calls to Ensure Access to Reproductive Rights
    Senators Support Calls to Ensure Access to Reproductive Rights FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE OTTAWA, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 29, 2020— Over 30 years ago, the Supreme Court of Canada granted women the right to choose, without fear of prosecution. Yet, access to the reproductive rights conferred to women years ago by the highest court in the Land are still being restricted by provincial regulations and policies. The story of Clinic 554 in Fredericton is one spanning over several decades. It is fraught with court challenges over repeated measures undertaken by a succession of governments in the Province to restrict women’s access to services. Clinic 554 has provided access to the reproductive rights for women for many years in order to counter the continued restrictions to access imposed by the Province. More recently, the Clinic further extended its services to the 2SLGBTQ community of the Province. The closing of Clinic 554 would impair access to hard won Charter-protected rights. In recent past and in response to repeated concerns by affected New Brunswickers, the Federal government temporarily reduced Health and Transfer payments to New Brunswick. We live in a Constitutional Democracy where all citizens are subject to the Rule of Law. Premiers are trustees of the Constitution and must ensure that the rights conferred by it and endorsed by the highest court in the Land can be accessed fully. Personal opinions on a court decision matter not. Rights without the means to enforce them are meaningless. The adoption of restrictive measures with the sole aim of limiting access to service should not be tolerated.
