    April 28, 2020 Honourable Catherine Mckenna Minister of Infrastructure

    April 28, 2020 Honourable Catherine McKenna Minister of Infrastructure and Communities [email protected] Dear Minister McKenna, We write as twenty (20) business organizations representing a broad cross-section of Manitoba’s economy collectively employing tens of thousands of women and men. Those industries include engineering & consulting, heavy civil and 2 vertical construction, commercial and residential development, manufacturing & exporting, retail, agriculture, commercial trucking and skilled trades. Our appeal to the federal government is that it assist in our provincial economic recovery by accelerating the approvals of and flexibility in the allocation from federal programs. Such measures would enable funding of key Manitoba projects that would immediately procure jobs, build legacy assets and be key instruments in help kick-staring Manitoba’s economy. The above is necessary to help correct the lack of confidence in the economy by all its sectors, the alarm, anxiety and fear of what lies ahead around the corner, and indeed where that corner is. That has led to private-sector projects being deferred or outright canceled. Those decision have resulted in lost jobs, supply and equipment sales, all of which reduces the collective ROI to GDP. Addressing consumer and investor confidence is critical to our recovery. In that regard, we understand the Province of Manitoba has communicated its commitment to flow its capital programs, harnessing investment in infrastructure to help Manitoba’s economy recover. We are told Manitoba has more than $6B in project submissions for the Investing in Canada Infrastructure Program (ICIP) with many being shovel ready. We urge the federal government to make the most of the current market conditions - competitive bid prices and extraordinarily low interest rates - to meet the formidable economic challenge in front of us.

    Foreign Policy White Papers and the Role of Canada’s Parliament: Paradoxical But Not Without Potential Gerald J. Schmitz Principal analyst, international affairs Parliamentary Information and Research Service Library of Parliament, Ottawa Annual Meeting of the Canadian Political Science Association University of Western Ontario, London Panel on “International and Defence Policy Review” 3 June 2005 Note: This paper developed out of remarks to a conference in Quebec City in May 2004 on the subject of white-paper foreign policy management processes, and is a pre- publication draft of an article for the fall 2005 issue of Études internationales. The views expressed are the author’s alone. Please do not cite without permission. Introduction to the Paradoxical Actor on the Hill The observations that follow draw on several decades of direct experience working with that paradoxical, and sometimes overlooked, actor in the foreign policy development process, namely Canada’s Parliament. During that time concerns about the alleged weaknesses of parliamentary oversight of the executive have become a commonplace complaint. They seem also to be a staple assumption in the academic discourse on Canadian foreign policy, when the legislative role merits any mention at all. (Frequently it does not.) Yet if one believes the renewed rhetoric emanating from high places about redressing “democratic deficits” in the Canadian body politic, this was all supposed to change. At the end of 2003, a new prime minister ushering in a new management regime, or at least a different style of governing, said that he and his government were committed to changing the way things work in Ottawa.

    2011 Selected Comparison Groups Report

    Cape Breton University Selected Comparison Groups August 2011 Reviewing Your NSSE 2011 Selected Comparison Groups Report The NSSE Institutional Report displays results for each institution alongside three comparison groups which are customizable. In June, your institution was invited to select comparison groups via the "Report Form" on the Institution Interface. This report summarizes how your comparison groups were selected, and lists the institutions within them. NSSE comparison groups may be customized in several ways. Contacts may identify specific institutions from the list of all current-year NSSE participants, compose the group using institutional characteristics, or begin with institutional characteristics, then add or remove specific institutions to refine the comparison group. If an institution does not customize a comparison group, NSSE provides default groups which provide relevant comparisons for most institutions. The default groups are: Comparison Group 1 - For institutions not in a NSSE consortium, this group contains current-year institutions in the same geographic region and sector (public/private). For consortium institutions, it contains results for the other consortium members. Comparison Group 2 - All other current-year U.S. NSSE institutions sharing your institution's Basic Carnegie Classification. Comparison Group 3 - All other current-year U.S. NSSE institutions (Canadian participants are also included in this group for Canadian institutions).

  • Letter from Scientists Regarding the Boreal Forest

    Letter from Scientists Regarding the Boreal Forest

    Letter from scientists regarding the Boreal Forest Dear Premier Charest, In a letter sent in May 2007, 1,500 scientists from more than 50 countries around the world, including 71 from Quebec, asked Canadian government leaders to ensure the protection of at least 50% of Canada’s Boreal forest. Since making this appeal, we have followed the progression of this file with keen interest. We were delighted to hear, on November 15, 2008, the commitment that "by 2015, [...] 50% of the area covered by the Plan Nord will be protected from industrial, mining and energy development." This commitment was reiterated in March in your speech at Mont Saint-Bruno National Park announcing that Quebec had reached its objective of 8% protected areas. Your commitment deserves our public support; in protecting northern Quebec’s natural environment and ensuring responsible development in the rest of the area, your government will set in motion one of the most ambitious sustainable development and nature conservation projects in North America, and one that could serve as a model for the rest of the world. Scientists have already catalogued some of the natural resources that constitute the natural heritage of northern Quebec. In terms of wildlife, northern Quebec provides habitat for 340 million birds,i more than a million tundra caribou and some of the largest populations of freshwater fish in North America. However, the populations of some species are too low: the woodland caribou, the wolverine and the golden eagle are all on Quebec’s threatened or vulnerable species lists. In terms of the region’s ecological benefits to society, including water filtration and carbon storage, their value is estimated at 13.8 times the value of the natural resources extracted from it each year.

    Mass Cancellations Put Artists' Livelihoods at Risk; Arts Organizations in Financial Distress

    Prime Minister Justin Trudeau March 17, 2020 ​ Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland The Honourable Steven Guilbeault The Honourable William Francis Morneau Minister of Canadian Heritage Minister of Finance The Honourable Mona Fortier The Honourable Navdeep Bains Minister of Middle-Class Prosperity Minister of Innovation, Science and Industry Associate Minister of Finance The Honourable Mélanie Joly Minister of Economic Development and Official Languages Re: Mass cancellations put artists’ livelihoods at risk; arts organizations in financial distress Dear Prime Minister Trudeau; Deputy Prime Minister Freeland; and Ministers Guilbeault, Morneau, Fortier, Joly, and Bains, We write as the leadership of Opera.ca, the national association for opera companies and professionals in Canada. In light of recent developments around COVID-19 and the waves of cancellations as a result of bans on mass gatherings, Opera.ca is urgently requesting federal aid on behalf of the Canadian opera sector and its artists -- its most essential and vulnerable people -- while pledging its own emergency support for artists in desperate need. Opera artists are the heart of the opera sector, and their economic survival is in jeopardy. In response to the dire need captured by a recent survey conducted by Opera.ca, the board of directors of Opera.ca today voted for an Opera Artists Emergency Relief Fund to be funded by the association. Further details will be announced shortly. Of the 14 professional opera companies in Canada, almost all have cancelled their current production and some the remainder of the season. This is an unprecedented crisis with long-reaching implications for the entire Canadian opera sector.

    CANADIAN UNION OF PUBLIC EMPLOYEES LOCAL 500 PRESIDENT’S REPORT Central Council October 28, 2019 TO: All Central Council Delegates RE: PRESIDENT’S REPORT BARGAINING UPDATES Local 500 members working at the St. Boniface Museum have ratified a new collective agreement. The new agreement will provide members with improvements in a number of areas such as training and development, inclement weather and hours of work. The new agreement will expire on December 31, 2022. JOINT LABOUR MANAGEMENT MEETING – CITY/LOCAL 500 On September 25, a joint labour management meeting took place between Local 500 and the City of Winnipeg. The purpose of these meetings is to provide a forum for meaningful consultation and discussion between the employer and the union regarding workplace issues and matters of mutual concern (i.e. city-wide policies, programs, and operational issues). It is not a substitute for the grievance procedure and collective bargaining process. Both parties have agreed to meet on a quarterly basis and alternate meeting locations. The next meeting has been tentatively set for December. FEDERAL ELECTION On October 21, Canadians elected a Liberal minority government. While it wasn’t the outcome we were hoping for, workers will now have a strong voice in Parliament given the NDP hold the balance of power. CUPE will continue to work with the NDP to make the sure that the new government respects its promises to Canadians. Justin Trudeau will have to translate his campaign commitments into meaningful actions to fight climate change, to create a public and universal pharmacare program, and to make life more affordable for Canadian families.

  • David Suzuki

    David Suzuki

    David Suzuki David Takayoshi Suzuki (born March 24, 1936) is a Canadian scientist, environmental activist, and broadcaster. Suzuki received his BA from Amherst College in Massachusetts in 1958 and his Ph.D in zoology from the University of Chicago in 1961. Since the mid 1970s, Suzuki has become known for his TV and radio series and books about nature and the environment. For his work popularizing science and environmental issues, he has been presented with 19 honorary degrees (all doctorates) from schools in Canada, The United States, and Australia. Early in his research career he studied genetics, using the popular model organism Drosophila melanogaster (fruit flies). To be able to use his initials in naming any new genes he found, he studied Drosophila temperature- sensitive phenotypes (DTS). He gained several international awards for his research into these mutations. He was a professor in the zoology department at the University of British Columbia for over thirty years (from 1963 until his retirement in 2001) and has since been professor emeritus at a university research institute. Since 1979, Suzuki has hosted The Nature of Things, a CBC television show that has aired in nearly fifty countries worldwide. In this show, Suzuki aimed to stimulate interest in the natural world, to point out what some of the threats to human well-being and wildlife habitat were, and to point out some promising alternatives in terms of sustainability. Suzuki has been a very prominent proponent of renewable energy sources and the soft energy path. A Planet for the Taking, a 1985 hit series, averaged about 2 million viewers per episode and earned him a United Nations Environment Medal in 1985.
