A study conducted by Commerce and Business Administration Profes- sor Nancy Langton indicates that business managers are willing to sacrifice salary for time spent with the family. Langton surveyed980 Stanford University graduates who obtained their Masters of Business Administration degrees between 1973 and 1987. The purpose of the survey was to determine why men get paid more than women who occupy similar managerial positions. “We found that managers who put family ahead of work make less money,” said Langton. “That holds true for both men and women. It just so happens that, according to our survey,women are more likely than men to place a higher value on time spentwith family.” Early next year, Langton plans to survey approximately 1,OOO MBA grads from UBC who hold down managerial positions. “We plan to compare the findings between UBC and Stanford to see if we can get a senseof possible differences between Canadian and American managers,” she said. Preliminary UBC results are expected in July.

  • Communicative Regionalism and Metropolitan Growth Management Outcomes a Case Study of Three Employment Nodes in Burnaby – an Inner Suburb of Greater Vancouver
    COMMUNICATIVE REGIONALISM AND METROPOLITAN GROWTH MANAGEMENT OUTCOMES A CASE STUDY OF THREE EMPLOYMENT NODES IN BURNABY – AN INNER SUBURB OF GREATER VANCOUVER by LAURA ELLEN TATE B.A., McGill University, 1988 M.A. (Planning), The University of British Columbia, 1991 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES (Planning) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) September 2009 © Laura Ellen Tate, 2009 Abstract In North America, metropolitan growth management (MGM) has been significantly influenced by what I term communicative regionalism. The latter concept is rooted in communicative planning theory, and thus stresses dialogue and consensus in problem- solving. To explore the impact of communicative regionalism on actual growth management outcomes, this dissertation investigates a case study on the implementation of communicatively-informed regional plans in metropolitan or GreaterVancouver, Canada, as they have impacted three employment nodes in suburban Burnaby. The dissertation applied a three-part methodology, involving the collection of empirical data on outcomes, analysis of plan development against communicative planning criteria, and the critical application of an Actor Network Theory (ANT) lens to better examine the relationships and interactions of key government agencies during MGM plan development and implementation. The analysis suggested mixed results in terms of goal outcomes. Notably, it found that longstanding goals for attracting office employment to a designated Regional Town Centre had not been achieved to the desired degree. In explaining how this occurred, the analysis supplied empirical evidence of recent critiques made against communicative planning theory. Such results appear to support calls made by other theorists for the development of a post- communicative approach to theory and practice.

Speaker Darryl Plecas at the 2017 Association Annual Dinner. More than 100 former MLAs, their spouses and friends packed the dining hall at Government House Sept. 22nd to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Association of Former MLAs of BC. It was a special evening on many levels including touching opening remarks by Her Honour Lieutenant Governor Judith Guichon who is at the end of her five-year vice-regal appointment; a short, but powerful message from BC Youth Parliament Premier Chris Coulson; and an impactful polling lesson from the country’s pre-eminent surveyor of public opinion Angus Reid. And, taking it all in from his seat in the audience, was the AFMLABC’s most senior of members, Gordon Gibson, a founding director of the association. BCYP Premier Coulson really nailed the commonality between the youth movement and the AFMLABC which financially supports the BCYP’s annual December sitting in the BC Legislature: “We teach our members that the nature of democracy is in service to our communities … In that vein, there is very much a passing of the torch here tonight."

  • The Politics of Consumption Tax Reform
    Playing with Fiscal Fire: The Politics of Consumption Tax Reform by Matthew Lesch A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Political Science University of Toronto © Copyright by Matthew Lesch 2018 Playing with Fiscal Fire: The Politics of Consumption Tax Reform Matthew Lesch Doctor of Philosophy Political Science University of Toronto Abstract 2018 Drawing on the case of consumption tax reform, this dissertation investigates the varying capacity of governments to enact and institutionalize ―general-interest reforms‖ (Patashnik 2003). The study advances a two-stage theory of policy reform. The first part explains why some governments, in spite of the political risks, decide to pursue general-interest reforms. In this first stage, two variants of policy learning—rational learning and emulation—are proposed to explain policy uptake. The second stage of the theory builds on policy feedback scholarship (Pierson 1993;Mettler and SoRelle 2014), claiming that the durability of a reform hinges on policy design. It proposes that governments can prompt various policy feedback effects through policy design and communications. Such efforts can shape the political incentives and perceptions of interest groups, opposition parties and voters at key junctures in the policy process. The study illustrates the analytic value of this approach through two distinct but complementary empirical strategies. First, through comparative case analysis using mainly qualitative techniques of elite interviews and document analysis, it compares the varying experiences of two Canadian provincial governments— Ontario and British Columbia (BC)—with value-added tax (VAT) reform. While each government chose to pursue VAT reform in the late 2000s, only in the case of Ontario was it successfully implemented while the BC government was forced to reverse its policy decision.

  • 1997 ITAC Education and Advocacy Project Final Report Marcia
    Final Report on ITAC Education and Advocacy Project for Kootenay WITT, WETC and the Ministry of Women’s Equality, October 1997: My work began on the ITAC issue when, as a member of the Provincial Apprenticeship Board, representing equity advocacy issues, I spoke up at the initial report from the Minister’s Committee on Governance at the November Board meeting. Several members of the PAB sat on the Minister’s Committee. I said that I felt equity issues had not been well considered, and that the context to address equity issues was missing from their report. I was assured by then Deputy Minister George Ford that “of course it would be effectively dealt with and included.” It came up again and again at subsequent Board meetings, and each time, I was assured it would be included in the final report. When the semi-final report came out on February 11, Equity was not included. I asked that my deep concerns be clearly stated in the Minutes, and I said that I was now being forced to break ranks with the Board and deal with the issue in a political fashion. B I met privately in February with the Minister of Women’s Equality while she was in the Kootenays, and this was one of the issues under discussion, and I asked her for her active support on the ITAC issues. Also in February, I sent a very strong letter to the Ministers responsible, still as member of the PAB, calling the governments commitment to equity into question. As a result, when the Final Report on Governance came out, the “duty to consult with equity seeking groups” and “incorporate their issues into the ITAC agenda” was included.
