  • We're Bringing Research to Life
    The UNIVERSITY of Manitoba March 23 2006 Volume 39 Bulletin Issue 21 U of M works on 2006/07 budget The March 6 provincial budget offered good news for the University of Manitoba, but not a complete solution for the funding challenges facing the university. The goods news was that the budget offered a 5.8 per cent funding increase in the university’s operating grant for 2006/07, with minimum increases of 5 per cent promised in each of the following two years. Knowing what it will receive over the next two years allows the university to do more long term planning than the traditional system of announcing funding on a year by year base ever could. However, the problem is that the university had asked for an 8.9 per cent funding increase this year just to maintain the status quo. Vice-president (administration) Debbie McCallum said the 8.9 per cent request includes $6.9 million – about 3.4 per cent – that the university had Photo by Bob Talbot From left, Glen Lang, pediatrics and child health, and Alec Sehon, distinguished professor emeritus, immunology, join built into its budget last year through three ancillary fees approved by the president Emőke Szathmáry at the March 16 ceremony honouring the university’s researchers who have successfully pat- ented new technologies.

However, while the funding might have been a one-time measure to the We’re bringing research to life province, it was filling an ongoing shortfall for the university.

  • Local Solutions to a Global Problem? Canadian Municipal Policy
    LOCAL SOLUTIONS TO A GLOBAL PROBLEM? CANADIAN MUNICIPAL POLICY RESPONSES TO CLIMATE CHANGE by Elizabeth Schwartz B.P.A.P.M., Carleton University, 2006 M.A., University of Toronto, 2008 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE AND POSTDOCTORAL STUDIES (Political Science) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) April 2016 © Elizabeth Schwartz, 2016 Abstract Urbanization and global warming are two of the most pressing issues facing humanity over the next 50 years. Why do some local governments enact more climate change mitigation policies than others? What makes some cities leaders in urban sustainability, while others lag far behind? Over the past decade, global climate change negotiations have repeatedly failed to produce binding commitments and robust responses by national governments. These failures have led academics and practitioners to put increasing emphasis on the potential for sub-national governments, including cities, to undertake commitments that might substitute for national action on climate change. Applying concepts from the comparative public policy literature to the study of urban politics, this dissertation puts forward and tests a new theory to explain variation in Canadian cities’ climate change policy. I find that political economy factors reduce the likelihood that cities will adopt climate change policy that will significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions, but the presence of independent municipal environment departments makes the adoption of such policy more likely. This dissertation employs a systematic and explicit process tracing methodology. It examines the decision-making of four Canadian cities (Brampton, Toronto, Winnipeg and Vancouver) across four policy areas (landfill gas management, fleet services, cycling infrastructure and building standards).
