Rempel Garner proposed the health committee (HESA) undertake a study to look at 17 different elements, including rapid, at-home testing; vaccine development; long-term care protocols within federal jurisdiction; the Public Health Agency of Canada ’s Global Public Health Intelligence Network; contact tracing protocol; and Canada’s level of preparedness for future pandemics. The motion also proposed that various ministers, including those for health, procurement and public safety, be required to appear before the committee separately for three hours each in order to answer questions about the government’s response to COVID-19. Rempel Garner’s motion was introduced after opposition members of the committee voted to adjourn the debate on a motion presented by Liberal MP and committee member Tony Van Bynen (Newmarket-Aurora, Ont.), who was calling for a study on the mental health impacts of COVID-19 on Canadians.

Mr. Majewski informed the public of the current voting system in Canada along with its pros and cons. He presented his views -- also the views of the organization he represents, Fair Vote Canada -- of what a reformed electoral system meant for Canadians. On a more personal note, he said he prefers STV. Daniel Green, Deputy Leader, Green Party of Canada 19h30-19h45 Proportional representation and the views of the Green Party of Canada. Mr. Green quickly resummarized what proportional representation means in an electoral context. He then used Lego ™ blocks to make a comparative analysis of the results of the 2015 Canadian federal elections under a FPTP system versus a system using proportion- al representation.

  • 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.

  • 5.22 Cannabis PRESENTATION for City
    5.22 HAMILTON COMMITTEE FOR CANNABIS meeting September 26th September 23, 2018 from S. J. Creer RESPECTFULLY SUBMITTED TO THE HAMILTON CITY COUNCIL AND PLANNING COMMITTEE September 23, 2018 VOTING AGAINST ALL CA NABIS/MARIJUAUNA OUTLETS IN HAMILTON, ONTARIO Attn; Deputy Clerk Janet Pilon 2 HAMILTON COMMITTEE FOR CANNABIS meeting September 26th September 23, 2018 from S. J. Creer Greetings to all the Councillors and Mayor Eisenberger. A concerned submission about Cannabis. Cannabis is not safe! Cannabis is a dangerous, noxious product especially when smoked or ingested. It is a dangerous, gateway drug for many young adults. There are illegal cannabis users in my apartment complex that are dangerous and are also endangering the health of the many young children in the complex. I have presented to the City Public Health Committee as well. When I presented to the Health and Safet Committee Councillor Aiden Johnson was chairing the committee and he was complimentary in pointing out that I have been doing some good work in the community. I hope you will all continue to heed my concerns. If City Council will vote to take the high road (pun intended) and not allow Cannabis/Marijuana retailers they will set a precedent where Hamilton really is the best place to raise a child. The City will be one where children s health and developing bodies will not be negatively affected. In addition it will show to the youngsters in our community that their health is of utmost importance. There may be some money in the Cannabis industry but it will not be enough to offset the numerous mental health challenges youth face; there is a huge backlog for children/youth mental health services now as it is.
