  • The Courage to Begin
    Chapter 8: Conclusions and Summary of Options 239 proCess for ConsulTaTIon and ImplemenTaTIon This is an ambitious agenda, but it is not beyond the realm of the possible. We believe that the essential steps could be taken within five years. On- tarians sometimes forget how quickly Ontario’s higher education system can change to meet critical needs. The number of publicly supported uni- versities in Ontario doubled in the period from 1960 to 1965. The college system was created in less than three years, from early 1965 to the fall of 1967. College enrolments were expanded by almost 40 percent in less than five years to meet the needs of displaced workers during the recession of the early 1980s and by another 30 percent during the recession of the early 1990s. The university system added room for 90,000 more undergradu- ate students between 2000 and 2005 to accommodate the double cohort. In every case, the government made decisions about what needed to be done and worked with higher education leaders to get on with the job. The starting point for addressing our proposed agenda should be a focused consultation process with universities and colleges and with as- sociations representing students, faculty, and staff. These consultations, which might require two to four months, should focus on whether there are better proposals for addressing the issues we have identified. Changes of the magnitude we recommend are bound to be contentious; however, our review of the policy papers published by higher education stake- holders over the past two years suggests that there is broad consensus (though not unanimity) on the problems Ontario faces and widespread recognition that the solutions must go beyond simply spending more of the government’s and students’ money.

  • Ontario's Greenbelt
    Ontario’s Greenbelt: Acres of Possibility Burkhard Mausberg Ontario’s Greenbelt turns 12 years old in 2017. At two million acres, it’s the world’s largest peri-urban protected area. The Greenbelt Act and Plan were passed with much fanfare in 2005, and while there was some loud opposition from certain affected landowners and municipalities, the plan received significant backing from conservationists and planning experts. Since its inception, the Greenbelt has enjoyed huge public approval: it is consistently the provincial government’s most popular environmental initiative, garnering more than 90% support. The Greenbelt addressed a growing frustration with land use planning in the Greater Toronto Area: Ontarians asked for better regional planning. They recognized the negative impacts of poor development and the loss of greenspace and farmland. But the Greenbelt’s roots go back longer than the last dozen years—to the mid-1970s, in fact, when Premier Bill Davis protected the Niagara Escarpment. Aside from creating Niagara Falls, the escarpment is known for its rich biodiversity, centuries-old cedar trees, and unique cliff ecology. Declared a UNESCO biosphere reserve, the Niagara Escarpment includes Great Lakes coastlines, woodlands, limestone alvar, oak savannahs, conifer swamps, and other signature features. Together these diverse habitats contain a premier level of species variety among Canadian biosphere reserves, including more than 300 bird species, 55 mammals, 36 reptiles and amphibians, and 90 fish varieties. In 2001, Ontario’s Premier Mike Harris declared the Oak Ridges Moraine protected from development. The premier understood that the moraine is an ecologically important landform, created by receding glaciers during the last ice age.

  • If We Could All Be Peter Lougheed” Provincial Premiers and Their Legacies, 1967-2007 1
    “If we could all be Peter Lougheed” Provincial premiers and their legacies, 1967-2007 1 J.P. Lewis Carleton University [email protected] Paper for Presentation at The Annual Meeting of the Canadian Political Science Association Concordia University, Montreal June 2010 Introduction For a variety of reasons, the careers of Canadian provincial premiers have escaped explicit academic attention. Premiers are found frequently in Canadian political science literature, but more for direct roles and actions – in questions of the constitution, federalism, public policy and electoral and legislative studies – instead of longitudinal study and analysis. This fits a pattern of neglect in the field; some academics have lamented the lack of direct attention to provincial politics and history (Brownsey and Howlett 2001). The aggregate imprints of premiers are relatively ignored outside of regional and provincial treatments. No pan- Canadian assessment of premiers exists, and probably for good reason. The theoretical and methodological concerns with asking general research questions about premiers are plenty; leadership theory and historical approaches provide some foundations but any approach is going to confront conceptual challenges. This is where this study is found – in a void of precedents but a plethora of qualitative data. 2 Regardless of methodological challenges, some historians, political scientists and members of the media have not shied away from ranking and assessing national leaders. Some of the more popular treatments (from the popular culture version to the more academic approach) include Ferguson’s Bastards and Boneheads , Granatstein and Hillmer’s Prime Ministers: Ranking Canada’s Leaders , and Bliss’s Right Honourable Men . Bliss (xiv), the esteemed historian, is skeptical of such endeavours, “While this is Canadian history from Parliament Hill, I am not a Hegelian and I do not believe that political leaders, least of all prime ministers of Canada, are personifications of the world spirit.

  • The Office of Premier of Ontario 1945-2010: Who Really Advises?
    The Office of Premier of Ontario 1945-2010: Who Really Advises? Patrice Dutil and Peter P. Constantinou This article focuses on the composition of the Ontario Premier’s office and uses an institutionalist approach to put the influence of advisors in context. It looks at expenditures attributed in the Public Accounts to the Premier’s Office and staffing. It assumes that the number of advisors and their placement in the decision-making hierarchy should have a material impact on the quantity and quality of the advice being received by the Premier. Among other things the articles 2013 CanLIIDocs 388 shows that the classic policy/administration divide was not clearly defined in Ontario. Instead it exhibits a back-and-forth habit of experimentation that depended on the personality of the prime minister, the capacities of political and bureaucratic advisors, and the stages of the governmental cycle. There have been discernible cycles in the hiring of political staff and in the growth of expenditures that would indicate the Premier’s Office was more concerned with campaign preparations and externalities than it was in rivaling bureaucratic influence. Compared to Ottawa, where the structures of the Prime Minister’s Office and the Privy Council Office have been far more distinct in this similar time frame, the Ontario experience reveals itself as one of constant experimentation. or almost two generations, observers of all sorts In her study for the Gomery Commission, Liane have almost unanimously lamented the growth in Benoit noted that political staff (or “exempt staff”) Finfluence of prime ministerial advisors.

  • The Honourable Leo Bernier
    The Honourable Leo Bernier The Honourable Leo Bernier (born 1929) is a former provincial politician in Ontario. He served in the Legislative Assembly of Ontario from 1966 to 1987, and was a Cabinet Minister in the governments of Bill Davis and Frank Miller. Bernier was a member of the Progressive Conservative Party. Bernier was born in Hudson and educated in the area. He became the general manager of Bernier & Sons Contractors, and served as President of the Hudson Chamber of Commerce. He is an honorary member of the Royal Canadian Legion and the Knights of Columbus. Bernier first ran for the Ontario legislature in the 1963 provincial election, and lost to Liberal-Labour candidate Robert Gibson by 840 votes in Kenora. Gibson died in 1966, and Bernier was elected in a by-election to replace him. He was returned by an increased margin in the 1967 provincial election, and served as a backbench supporter of the John Robarts administration. When Bill Davis succeeded Robarts as Premier, he appointed Bernier as his Minister of Mines and Northern Affairs. Bernier was easily re-elected in the 1971 provincial election and he was given additional responsibilities as Minister of Lands and Forests. During the same year, his portfolios were restructured as the Ministry of Natural Resources. Bernier was re-elected without serious opposition in the elections of 1975, 1977, 1981 and 1985. He was named Minister of Northern Affairs in February 1977 and held this position for more than eight years. Bernier was the most powerful minister for Northern Ontario in the Bill Davis government, and was sometimes called “King of the North”.

    Comptes rendus / Book Reviews 273 pression de l’institution judiciaire était préférée d’entrée de jeu, parfois moins pour régler le différend que pour alimenter un conflit larvé. L’auteure se méprend lorsqu’elle affirme sans distinctions que les poursuites pénales « civilisées » (renvoyées à la juridiction civile) n’étaient pas voulues par les parties, ce qui lui permet d’exclure cette catégorie importante du contentieux dans l’analyse des poursuites civiles. En fait, on se demande comment a été effectuée l’identification des procès civils résultant de « situations-problèmes criminalisables » (seulement 11 sur l’ensemble de la période, ce qui est invraisemblable). On voit les limites de la démarche puisque le référent demeure bien le crime ou la faute et sa possible punition judiciaire. On s’étonne aussi de l’absence d’évolution des phénomènes étudiés dans une société coloniale qui, de 1693 à 1760, se développe rapidement. Le dernier chapitre présente enfin de nombreux problèmes : vision à mon avis anachronique de l’État d’Ancien Régime, surtout dans le contexte colonial; mauvaise compréhension de plusieurs réalités judiciaires ou étatiques de l’époque (p. ex : plaintes et dénonciations, rôle du subdélégué de l’intendant, amendes qui seraient publicisées, etc.); méthodologie obscure pour la quantification des causes étatiques (notamment les tableaux 4 à 6); etc. Plus fondamentalement, on peine à voir ce que ce chapitre apporte de neuf, sauf peut-être pour la question de la grâce royale, malheureusement analysée de façon sommaire, encore une fois. Le projet de ce livre était ambitieux et aurait pu faire le point sur un sujet déjà bien étudié par les historiens depuis de nombreuses années, en France comme au Québec.

  • Mental Health's Expanded Role in a Transformed Healthcare Services Delivery System
    July 29, 2013 MENTAL HEALTH'S EXPANDED ROLE IN A TRANSFORMED HEALTHCARE SERVICES DELIVERY SYSTEM Ted Ball The big search for who is in the 5 percent of "high-users" of healthcare services has found that mental health and addictions clients are among the highest right across the province. It makes sense that they show up as "high-cost generators" in other parts of the system. We've known about the underfunding for mental health for years. It seems that the only time anything improves for the mental health sector is when -- from time to time -- a Minister of Health steps in, and simply makes it happen. Poof! The Minister can be like the fairy godmother, when they decide something is a priority. While I often rant and rave about politics in healthcare, the fact is “values” and “political beliefs” drive both health policy, and directly influences how our health services delivery system behaves. Because of my background and experience as a speech-writer for Ministers of Health from all three political parties, I always focus on people's values. “Values” were certainly what drove Health Minister Larry Grossman in the early 1980’s, when I served as his Chief-of-Staff. Respect, compassion, dignity, human rights, and community service were values that were instilled in Larry by his family from the start. Larry would recall how, as a young boy waking up each morning, he would hop out of bed and tiptoe around refugees who had been taken in for the night by his parents in the aftermath of 1956 Hungarian Revolution.
