Hon. David Orazietti Minister of Community Safety and Correctional Services 16th Floor, George Drew Building 25 Grosvenor Street Toronto, ON M7A 1Y6 July 25, 2016 RE: End the Incarceration of Immigration Detainees in Provincial Prisons Dear David, First, let me extend on behalf of Registered Nurses' Association of Ontario (RNAO), a warm welcome and congratulations on your recent appointment as the Minister of Community Safety and Correctional Services. We at RNAO look very much forward to working with you to build healthier communities in our province. To this end, we are asking to meet with you to discuss perspectives and collaboration. As the professional association representing registered nurses (RN), nurse practitioners (NP) and nursing students in Ontario, RNAO is a strong and consistent advocate for the need to improve health, health care, and human rights protection within our provincial correctional facilities.1 2 We have long been concerned with the criminalization of people with mental health and addiction challenges.3 Therefore, we urge you to end the ongoing incarceration of immigration detainees in provincial prisons, and prevent more needless deaths of immigration detainees in your care. The Canadian Border Services Agency (CBSA) routinely transfers immigration detainees – refugee claimants, survivors of trauma, and other vulnerable non-citizens, including many with mental health challenges – to medium-maximum security provincial correctional facilities.4 Having a severe physical or mental illness or expressing thoughts

Prime Minister of Canada House of Commons Ottawa ON K1A 0A6 Dear Prime Minster: RE: A Public Health Approach to the Legalization of Cannabis At its meeting on October 26, 2016, The Board of Health for the District of Algoma Health Unit carried the following resolution #2016-94. WHEREAS Algoma Public Health is committed to prevent disease and promote the health of individuals and communities in the Algoma District; and WHEREAS the Government of Canada has indicated the intention to legalize, regulate, and restrict access to marijuana; and WHEREAS within the current criminalization context, 49.12 % of individuals in Algoma indicated that they have used cannabis in their lifetime compared to 40.22% in Ontario; and WHEREAS cannabis also ranks 3rd on the list of top drugs presented at intake in both North and East Algoma according to Algoma Public Health’s Community Alcohol/Drug Assessment Program; and THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT the Board of Health for the District of Algoma Health Unit continue to support staff in their alignment with the “Provincial Marijuana Collaborative” on cannabis, with the purpose of forwarding public health recommendations to the Federal Task Force reviewing the legalization, enforcement and regulation of cannabis; and FURTHER THAT this resolution be shared with the Honourable Prime Minister of Canada, local Members of Parliament, the Premier of Ontario, local Members of Provincial Parliament, Minister of Health and Long-Term Care, Federal Minister of Health, the Attorney General, Chief Medical Officer of Health, Association of Local Public Health Agencies, Ontario Boards of Health, Ontario Public Health Association, the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health, and local community partners.

Their requests are apparently based on Draft Policies which have not been formally introduced or discussed in the house. These articles have been reported by media, but in subsequent communications from the provincial government in response to such articles, they have steadfastly reiterated their commitment to expanding access to natural gas in rural Ontario. With all due respect, it is unacceptable and frankly insulting that attempts are made by some to influence the Ontario Energy Board based on rumors and newspaper reports. Particularly without having or requesting input from others involved in the hearing who may have a different view on this important issue. Based on our understanding, and based on dealings with other arm’s length Boards appointed by the Province, it is a Board’s duty and obligation to act and consider matters before the Board. Not to act, or react or interfere with ongoing proceedings based on rumours or based on something that may or may not take place in the future is wrong.

House Statement by the Honourable Kevin Flynn Minister of Labour and the Honourable Teresa Piruzza Minister Responsible for Women's Issues on Equal Pay Day
House Statement by the Honourable Kevin Flynn Minister of Labour and the Honourable ... Page 1 of 3 Print This Page House Statement by the Honourable Kevin Flynn Minister of Labour and the Honourable Teresa Piruzza Minister Responsible for Women's Issues on Equal Pay Day Issued: April 8, 2014 Content last reviewed: April 2014 PDF Version [ 24 Kb / 8 pages | Download Adobe Reader ] CHECK AGAINST DELIVERY Minister Flynn It is an honour to rise in the Legislature to recognize April 16 as Equal Pay Day with community groups across Ontario. I also want to acknowledge the advocates, community leaders and those working to end wage discrimination every day, including the leadership of Emanuela Heyninck, Ontario's Pay Equity Commissioner and the Pay Equity Office. We recognize the critical role that women play in our economy, while reflecting on the sombre reality that women earn less on average than men. We must recommit ourselves to ending this discrimination and celebrating the amazing contributions women make to our economy, while ensuring that the contributions of our daughters and granddaughters are fully valued and recognized. By acknowledging this day, Ontario joins others around the world in recognizing that while we've made significant progress, this inequality still exists and we still have more work to do. Women make up a central part of the workforce, the majority of post-secondary graduates, and a growing number of leaders in our economy and our society. Ontario women are innovators and scientists, teachers and CEOs, and, I'm incredibly proud to say, the Premier of Ontario.
