The importance of cybersecurity will only increase as states navigate the transition to next-generation internet and telecommunications infrastructure. In the government debates of western democracies, the People’s Republic of China (PRC) and Chinese corporations are frequently cast in the role of challengers to the liberal international order. As a member of the highly integrated Five Eyes intelligence network, Canada has experienced both internal and external pressures to take a firmer stance against foreign direct investment by telecoms giant Huawei and other Chinese corporations on national security grounds. This thesis project uses directed content analysis to examine how government actors construct and present political narratives on cybersecurity concerns related to China during the 42nd Parliament of Canada (December 3, 2015 to September 11, 2019). NVIVO 12 qualitative analysis software was used to categorize and code data from the debates of the House of Commons, the Senate, and the minutes of select parliamentary committees. Deborah Stone’s typology of political narratives is employed to interpret opposing storylines relating to cyberthreats posed to Canada by Chinese state activity. Findings reveal a significant paradigmatic division on Chinese cybersecurity threats separating not only the Justin Trudeau Liberal government and the Conservative Opposition, but also the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) and the Communications Security Establishment (CSE), two of Canada’s core intelligence agencies. Whereas both the Liberal government and the CSE broadly promote a narrative of control in relation to cyberthreats, Conservative Party representatives and current and former CSE officials consistently depict of narrative of national security decline and mounting dangers. The existence of these polarized positions within both Parliament and the federal security establishment point to the challenges of crafting coherent, state-facing cybersecurity policy related to the PRC. In addition to revealing this paradigmatic divide, this analysis illustrates the integral role of geopolitical dynamics in Canadian cybersecurity policymaking, particularly the “Five Eyes” security collaboration between Canada, the USA, Australia, New Zealand the United Kingdom. These findings demonstrate the need for inter- agency and international fora to develop enforceable norms of cyber-conduct. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS In the writing of this master’s thesis, I would first like to thank Ken Coates, my thesis supervisor at the Johnson Shoyama Graduate School of Public Policy.

Taking their name from the distinctive towers built during the nineteenth century to de- fend Kingston, Ontario, these papers cover a wide range of topics and issues rele- vant to contemporary international strategic relations. This volume presents a collection of insightful essays on the often uneasy but always interesting United States-Cuba-Canada triangle. Seemingly a relic of the Cold War, it is a topic that, as editor Heather Nicol observes, “is always with us,” and indeed is likely to be of greater concern as the post-Cold War era enters its second decade.

  • Discerning Claim Making: Political Representation of Indo-Canadians by Canadian Political Parties
    Discerning Claim Making: Political Representation of Indo-Canadians by Canadian Political Parties by Anju Gill B.A., University of the Fraser Valley, 2012 Project Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in the Department of Political Science Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences © Anju Gill 2017 SIMON FRASER UNIVERSITY Fall 2017 Copyright in this work rests with the author. Please ensure that any reproduction or re-use is done in accordance with the relevant national copyright legislation. Approval Name: Anju Gill Degree: Master of Arts Title: Discerning Claim Making: Political Representation of Indo-Canadians by Canadian Political Parties Examining Committee: Chair: Tsuyoshi Kawasaki Associate Professor Eline de Rooij Senior Supervisor Assistant Professor Mark Pickup Supervisor Associate Professor Genevieve Fuji Johnson Internal/External Examiner Professor Date Defended/Approved: September 21, 2017 ii Abstract The targeting of people of colour by political parties during election campaigns is often described in the media as “wooing” or “courting.” How parties engage or “woo” non- whites is not fully understood. Theories on representation provide a framework for the systematic analysis of the types of representation claims made by political actors. I expand on the political proximity approach—which suggests that public office seekers make more substantive than symbolic claims to their partisans than to non-aligned voters—by arguing that Canadian political parties view mainstream voters as their typical constituents and visible minorities, such as Indo-Canadians, as peripheral constituents. Consequently, campaign messages targeted at mainstream voters include more substantive claims than messages targeted at non-white voters.

  • NDP Response - Canadian Paediatric Society (CPS)
    NDP Response - Canadian Paediatric Society (CPS) Establishing Child-Friendly Pharmacare 1. What will your party do to ensure that all children and youth have equitable access to safe, effective and affordable prescription drugs? An NDP government will implement a comprehensive, public universal pharmacare system so that every Canadian, including children, has access to the medication they need at no cost. 2. What measures will your party take to ensure that Canada has a national drug formulary and compounding registry that is appropriate for the unique needs of paediatric patients? An NDP government would ensure that decisions over what drugs to cover in the national formulary would be made by an arm’s-length body that would negotiate with drug companies. This would ensure that the needs of Canadians – from paediatric to geriatric – are considered. The NDP will work with paediatricians, health professionals, and other stakeholders to ensure that the formulary meets the needs of Canadians and that children and youth have access to effective and safe medication that will work for them. 3. How will your party strengthen Canada’s regulatory system to increase the availability and accessibility of safe paediatric medications and child- friendly formulations? The best way to increase the availability and accessibility of safe paediatric medications and child-friendly formulations is by establishing a comprehensive, national public pharmacare system because it gives Canada the strongest negotiating power with pharmaceutical companies. An NDP government will work with patients, caregivers, health professionals, and pharmaceutical companies to ensure that the best interest of Canadians will not continue to be adversely impacted by the long-awaited need for universal pharmacare.

    Parliamentary Internship Programme 2020-21 Annual Report Annual General Meeting Canadian Political Science Association June 11, 2021 Dr. Paul Thomas Director Web: pip-psp.org Twitter: @PIP_PSP Instagram: @pip-psp Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ParlInternship/ PIP Annual Report 2021 Director’s Message I am delighted to present the Parliamentary Internship Programme’s (PIP) 2020-21 Annual Report to the Canadian Political Science Association (CPSA). The COVID-19 pandemic dramatically reshaped the experience of the 2020-21 internship cohort relative to previous years. Such changes began with a mostly-virtual orientation in September, and continued with remote work in their MP placements, virtual study tours, and Brown-Bag lunches over Zoom. Yet while limiting some aspects of the PIP experience, the pandemic provided opportunities as well. The interns took full advantage of the virtual format to meet with academics, politicians, and other public figures who were inaccessible to previous cohorts relying on in-person meetings. They also learned new skills for online engagement that will serve them well in the hybrid work environment that is emerging as COVID-19 recedes. One thing the pandemic could not change was the steadfast support of the PIP’s various partners. We are greatly indebted to our sponsors who chose to prioritize their contributions to PIPs despite the many pressures they faced. In addition to their usual responsibilities for the Programme, both the PIP’s House of Commons Liasion, Scott Lemoine, and the Programme Assistant, Melissa Carrier, also worked tirelessly to ensure that the interns were kept up to date on the changing COVID guidance within the parliamentary preccinct, and to ensure that they had access to the resources they needed for remote work.
