    2018 12 10 FINAL RHTF Rep

    1 1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Housing is the foundation of healthy families and strong communities. Having a safe place to call home is a basic and critical need for every person and every family. Unfortunately, many people in British Columbia are struggling to find a safe and secure home they can afford. Longstanding issues with the laws and regulations that govern rental housing in B.C. have made the search for, and the provision of, secure, quality, affordable housing even more difficult. Weak protections, inconsistent enforcement, and other loopholes are leaving people vulnerable to abuse and exploitation. The residential tenancy laws, policies and services are not meeting the needs of renters and rental housing providers in British Columbia today as the Residential Tenancy Act has not undergone a comprehensive review in 16 years. The existing residential tenancy system can be difficult to navigate, is outdated and fails to serve those who need it. For instance, the fact that the Act does not allow landlords and tenants to serve each other documents over email is a small example of antiquated regulations that make solving disputes more time consuming, expensive and difficult. For these reasons, Premier John Horgan appointed a Rental Housing Task Force in April 2018, to advise on how to improve security and fairness for renters and landlords throughout the province. The Task Force is composed of three members. It is led by the Premier’s Advisor on Residential Tenancy, MLA Spencer Chandra Herbert. MLA Adam Olsen, and MLA Ronna-Rae Leonard complete the team. During the spring and summer of 2018, the Rental Housing Task Force conducted a provincewide engagement with landlords, renters and others concerned citizens.

    Myth Making, Juridification, and Parasitical Discourse: a Barthesian Semiotic Demystification of Canadian Political Discourse on Marijuana

    MYTH MAKING, JURIDIFICATION, AND PARASITICAL DISCOURSE: A BARTHESIAN SEMIOTIC DEMYSTIFICATION OF CANADIAN POLITICAL DISCOURSE ON MARIJUANA DANIEL PIERRE-CHARLES CRÉPAULT Thesis submitted to the University of Ottawa in partial Fulfillment of the requirements for the Doctorate in Philosophy degree in Criminology Department of Criminology Faculty of Social Sciences University of Ottawa © Daniel Pierre-Charles Crépault, Ottawa, Canada, 2019 ABSTRACT The legalization of marijuana in Canada represents a significant change in the course of Canadian drug policy. Using a semiotic approach based on the work of Roland Barthes, this dissertation explores marijuana’s signification within the House of Commons and Senate debates between 1891 and 2018. When examined through this conceptual lens, the ongoing parliamentary debates about marijuana over the last 127 years are revealed to be rife with what Barthes referred to as myths, ideas that have become so familiar that they cease to be recognized as constructions and appear innocent and natural. Exploring one such myth—the necessity of asserting “paternal power” over individuals deemed incapable of rational calculation—this dissertation demonstrates that the processes of political debate and law-making are also a complex “politics of signification” in which myths are continually being invoked, (re)produced, and (re)transmitted. The evolution of this myth is traced to the contemporary era and it is shown that recent attempts to criminalize, decriminalize, and legalize marijuana are indices of a process of juridification that is entrenching legal regulation into increasingly new areas of Canadian life in order to assert greater control over the consumption of marijuana and, importantly, over the risks that this activity has been semiologically associated with.

RM 323, Parliament Buildings RM 248, Parliament Buildings Victoria, BC V8V 1X4 Victoria, BC V8V 1X4 Dear Minister, Our local school district has come to us with a problem that I am sure we, together, can help with. The Cameron Lake Outdoor Education Centre has been identified as a possible TLE to be transferred to the West Moberly First Nations. School District 60 has used this crown land, under lease from the BC Government, for almost 30 years and over that time has put close to $1 million into this facility to develop a successful Outdoor Education Centre. By considering the transfer of this land to West Moberly First Nations, places a tremendous amount of stress and unnecessary burden on a school district that is always wrestling to find money to improve our students’ education. Since 1990, School District 60 was granted a lease for a small camp on Cameron Lake. Over the last 29 years the district has invested close to $1 million and The centre is located in the natural boreal forest on the shores of Cameron Lake, 25 km from Hudson’s Hope on Highway 29. The centre is not only used by students but also district staff and the general public where such uses are compatible with the goals of outdoor education and environmental awareness.

    BC Today – Daily Report April 8, 2020 Today in B.C

    BC Today – Daily Report April 8, 2020 Quotation of the day “We need to double down now.” After several days of encouraging case numbers, Health Minister Adrian Dix urges British ​ ​ Columbians to redouble their efforts to flatten the COVID-19 curve. Today in B.C. On the schedule Provincial health officer Dr. Bonnie Henry and Health Minister Adrian Dix will provide an ​ ​ ​ ​ update on B.C.’s COVID-19 cases at 3 p.m. The briefing will be livestreamed. ​ ​ Essential services, test kits and government aid: lobbying in the time of COVID-19 With the COVID-19 pandemic set to dominate the province’s attention for the foreseeable future, lobbyists and firms are seeking the government’s ear. The provincial lobbyist portal counts 35 new and recently amended registrations that include the key word “COVID-19.” Priorities include selling products and technology to aid the province’s efforts to battle the coronavirus, securing essential service designations, and keeping government officials up to speed on the impacts the pandemic is having on industries. Some company’s interests are more specific than others. Last week, Western Policy Consultants lobbyist Michael Bailey — who served as executive director to former premier Bill ​ ​ ​ Bennett — registered to lobby the health ministry on behalf of the Lynn Valley Care Centre. The ​ facility was the first long-term care centre to confirm COVID-19 cases and remains an active ​ ​ outbreak, accounting for a significant percentage of the province’s coronavirus fatalities. Bailey registered to brief health ministry officials “on the need for government assistance for ​ long-term care homes through the COVID-19 pandemic” and discuss the future of the facility’s contract and funding agreement with the province.

    LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY of BRITISH COLUMBIA

    LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY of BRITISH COLUMBIA John organ Premier of British Columbia Parliament Buildings V8V 1 X4 Dear Premier Morgan, We are writing you concerning today's introduction of the Electoral Referendum Act, 2018, a piece of legislation that will enable a province wide referendum that will ask British Columbians whether BC should adopt a voting system based on a form of proportional representation. As part of this announcement, it was outlined that the Attorney General will be acting as an independent official and that his office will be responsible for drafting the referendum process and question. It was further outlined that in order to ensure independence, the Attorney General will be recusing himself from Cabinet and/or caucus discussions regarding the referendum. We want to express our support for these measures that will ensure a fair, transparent, and legitimate referendum process and question can be developed. This question of independence also touches on the agreement outlined in the Confidence and Supply Agreement signed between our two caucuses, which creates a relationship that includes consultation on key policy measures. To further ensure that the Attorney General s office can operate with independence, we want to confirm in writing that the BC Green Caucus will not seek to consult with the Attorney General s office when it comes to evaluating submissions that are made to the ministry during the engagement phase, or on the subsequent decisions regarding the development of a referendum process and referendum question. We look forward to working with you and your caucus on directly engaging with British Columbians about the importance of changing to a system of proportional representation, and strongly campaigning in support of this once the process has been developed by the Attorney General.

    BC Veterinarians Need Your Help Combined

    Hello If you wish to help BC veterinarians address the shortage of veterinarians, you may wish to write your local MLA and ask them to support and increase to the number of BC students trained as veterinarians. Below is a sample email for you to send to your local MLA. You can also add to the email or replace it with your own. After the sample email, on page 2 and 3, is a list of all MLA email addresses to help you to find your MLA contact information. Should you wish to learn more about the shortage of veterinarians and the need for additional BC students to be trained as veterinarians, please scroll down to page 4 to read our summary document. Your help is greatly appreciated! Dear MLA, I wish to add my name to the list of British Columbians who find the shortage of veterinarians in BC unacceptable. We understand that BC can add an additional 20 BC student seats to BC’s regional veterinary college, but that the government declined to do so, citing costs. In the interest of animal health and welfare issues including relief from suffering and unnecessary death, public health, and biosecurity for BC, we ask you to ask the Minister of Advanced Education Anne Kang to fund an additional 20 BC seats at WCVM effective immediately. As a BC resident, I want my voice added as an individual who cares about the health and welfare of animals and who wishes the government to provide funding to help alleviate the shortage of veterinarians in BC.
