  • A Focus on Electoral Reform
    Canadian eview Focus on Electoral Reform. CANADIAN PARLIAMENTARY REVIEW/WINTER 2016 1 Made of copper and gold-plated, Ontario’s Mace was crafted in Ottawa in 1867. It is the third Mace to be used in the province’s history since the establishment of the Legislature during colonial times in 1792. The province’s first Mace was captured by American soldiers during the War of 1812 and later returned, and the second – dating from around 1845 - ended up in the federal parliament following Confederation in 1867 and was subsequently destroyed during a 1916 fire. Sitting underneath the crown within decorative leaves, the cup of the current Mace features the insignia of King Edward VII. The original cup bore the initials V.R. for Victoria Regina and was recently rediscovered among the collection at the Royal Ontario Museum. It is now on display in the Legislative Building lobby. In 2009, the first two diamonds mined in Ontario were mounted into the crown of the Mace. One was left in the rough to represent the mining process, and the other was polished to signify the value of the diamond industry in Ontario. The polished diamond was inscribed with the Legislative Assembly of Ontario’s motto Audi Alteram Partem – “Hear the Other Side”.

  • March 23, 2020 the Honourable Scott Moe Premier of Saskatchewan 226
    March 23, 2020 The Honourable Scott Moe Premier of Saskatchewan 226 Legislative Building Regina, Saskatchewan S4S 0B3 Dear Premier Moe: I am writing on behalf of private sector engineering firms in the province. We want you to know that our industry stands ready to support the Government of Saskatchewan in both the development and continued maintenance and of Saskatchewan infrastructure during COVID-19. There are three critical things to which we wish to draw your attention: 1. One of the many ways engineers provide professional services is through planning and design, with these types of services being very well suited to remote delivery. Many Saskatchewan engineering firms pivoted quickly to working remotely, and are well positioned to contribute to economic recovery through infrastructure stimulus. The types of things that would support SK infrastructure stimulus would include honouring the capital commitments in the Budget Estimates introduced on March 18, as well as fast-tracking, where feasible, future contemplated capital projects in the Provincial Capital Plan. There is precedent for this approach. Historically, in times of economic downturn the planning and design portion of capital projects continued, even though construction was paused, in recognition of the significant lead time necessary for design services to be completed. In fact, it has been demonstrated that infrastructure stimulus can play a key role in economic recovery, and to do this, our firms need to start designing now, because it will take six months to two years before these designs are completed and be ready to support shovels in the ground. If layoffs begin now, our member firms will be unable to maintain industry capacity to support any proposed infrastructure stimulus.
