Cohen (ad hoc), M. Hogarth and M. Ziniak THE FACTS On June 30, 1999, CTV’s 11:00 p.m. National News reported the results of the sentencing hearing of Charles Ng which had concluded that day in a California court. Ng, the notorious serial killer who had escaped from California in 1985, was recaptured in Canada soon thereafter and extradited to the United States in 1991 to face trial, was found guilty in February 1999 of the murders of 1984 and 1985 murders of 11 individuals (six men, three women and two baby boys). Leonard Lake, his accomplice in those crimes, had committed suicide in 1985. After a lengthy hearing, Ng was sentenced to be executed by lethal injection. As a part of CTV’s 1 minute 47 second report of the outcome of that hearing, the network inserted a video clip of about seven seconds in length which showed either Ng or Lake beginning to cut the blouse of one of the female victims who was at that moment tied helplessly to a chair. The clip used was a short extract from one of the videotapes exhibited at the trial which had been shot by Ng and his cohort in the course of their sadistic crimes. The complainant wrote directly to CTV’s Vice President, News, and then to the CBSC two days later “to express [her] overwhelming anger at the complete decrepitude demonstrated by all involved in broadcasting” the brief clip showing the victim.

Even he might be surprised to find out that he had framed a proposition on, of all things, the media, public perception and bilat- eral relations.

We support a strong communications system that serves the public interest. 3 I am joined by Al MacKay, a Director of the Forum’s Board who has been involved in various aspects of the broadcast industry for over 40 years, 4 We will address three issues about local broadcast news: why does it matter, what is known about it, and what could be done about it? We will be referring to the tables we have given the Clerk. II Why does local broadcast news still matter? 5 As your Committee has already heard, local news is under pressure. 6 But strong local media serve many purposes. They foster citizen engagement, and they enable our democracy to exist. A vibrant local station is at the heart of the community that relies on it for information about everything from school closures to local elections. 7 Local media matter because every community is unique, with a different perspective on the issues that matter in and outside its borders.

    Final Report on Métis Education and Boarding School Literature and Sources Review

    FINAL REPORT ON MÉTIS EDUCATION AND BOARDING SCHOOL LITERATURE AND SOURCES REVIEW By, Lee Marmon February 2010 Introduction and Overview The study and understanding of the Métis school experience has been impeded by three fundamental factors: (1) the unwillingness of the federal and provincial governments thus far to formally recognize that the provinces and religious denominations have a duty to accept responsibility for the Métis educational experience equivalent to federal recognition and compensation; (2) the research focus on federal residential schools largely dominated by the experience of First Nations students as a consequence of this perspective; (3) the scarcity of Métis- specific educational research at any level. While AFN and ITK have won notable educational victories at the national level, the Métis provincial and religious school concerns remain unaddressed. This unresolved controversy endures as a major social justice issue for Métis people, as recently pointed out by President Chartier at a Senate hearing in June 2009. Although various studies and research on aboriginal education date from the 1870s (if not before), it was only with the 1996 RCAP reports that national attention was focused on the plight of aboriginal students in government- sponsored schools. The formal Settlement Agreement was concluded in 2006 and the Truth and Reconciliation Commission was established in June 2008. It has been estimated that INAC has spent more than $100 million on its own research to determine residential school eligibility; the National Administration Committee gives rulings (no Métis representatives). Some 99,000 people have applied for the Common Experience Payment; only 24,000 have qualified under the Federal Accountability Act; because of significant gaps, much of this research has been conducted in provincial archives to supplement holes in the federal data.
