Not only did this event deeply distress the persons close to the victims; it also touched a great number of people, because it was an abnormal and intolerable event. It was essential to discover its root causes and to propose the corrective measures that need to be taken. Both physical and human causes explain what happened on September 30, 2006. Amendments to codes, standards and manuals, with the knowledge now available, will correct the former. As for the latter, we now know that nearly forty years ago, there was negligence on the construction site of the de la Concorde overpass, and lapses in the managing of the structure throughout its useful life. These problems must be prevented or corrected, so as to ensure citizens using our bridges and freeways that such a lethal and rare chain of circumstances and events does not recur. To prevent such events, there need be consistent awareness and vigilance in relation to the demanding discipline of building or managing structures. Our mandate was carried out with the utmost independence and transparency. Our conclusions as to the causes of the event are based on evidence adduced to us during our hearings. Our recommendations deal with modifi cations to the legal and administrative framework of structure building processes, inspections and repairs. They also address the importance of looking toward the future. I am convinced that they will not only correct the failures we observed but also durably improve the state of our bridges. A daunting task awaits Government and the hundreds of persons whose work is essential to ensure public safety and the maintaining of adequate and effi cient infrastructures. Before identifying and thanking those who have supported me in the task of chairing the Commission, I express appreciation to all those who have accomplished their duty as citizens in cooperating with the Commission by coming forward voluntarily, without being served summons, as witnesses and experts. This duty is not always easy to perform. It can be very intimidating to present oneself in public, under oath, and to speak openly and honestly about facts and doings of important institutions and organizations, and of persons working for such. I believe it would be useful to overhaul the dating Act concerning public inquiry Commissions, in particular to provide for protection of those who bring their cooperation to such public 88954_00a_prelimA.indd 7 11-10-07 10:40:0 Report of the Commission of inquiry into the collapse of a portion of the de la Concorde overpass processes. Drawing from the Charter of Human Rights and Freedoms, the Act should create an offense sanctioning those who threaten to or exercise retaliation against persons who have collaborated with a Commission and entrust a tribunal with adopting redress and punitive damages in such cases. I thank fi rst my two experienced and wise colleagues, Commissioners Armand Couture and Roger Nicolet, both remarkable engineers. Their contribution was paramount in defi ning the work programme of the Commission’s technical team, framing mandates of the experts looking into the causes of the failure of the bridge and in appreciating to its full extent the signifi cance of evidence relating to full thick slabs without shear reinforcement. We were thus able, in the course of our mandate, to provide information useful for the ministère des Transports du Québec’s action plan to identify and intervene toward vulnerable structures. Mr. Michel Décary, our chief counsel, a man of rare experience, conducted the preparatory work and hearings rigorously, with intelligence and honesty, and nurtured a strong team spirit. He could rely on the stamina and meticulousness of assistant Counsel Marie Cossette as well as on attorneys Jean-Patrice Dozois and Poseidon Retsinas, whose contributions were important. The general coordination of our work was under the responsibility of Attorney Nicole Trudeau, Secretary of the Commission. She was remarquable by her patient, effi cient and disciplined work, as was Monique Michaud, lawyer, clerk of our hearings, who managed the critical documentary part of our work exceptionally well. Engineer-lawyer Michel Lemoine and engineer Paul Croteau, Ph.D. proved remarkably effi cient in shedding light on the causes of the collapse and I thank them both for their particular contribution to serve the public interest and public safety during our mandate. Mr. Julien Lemieux and all his staff discreetly provided support services: administration, communications, and the technical and Internet wizardry that made it possible for citizens to follow the public hearings. I thank him and all the support staff that devoted unending hours, particularly in the last two months of our mandate. 88954_00a_prelimA.indd 8 11-10-07 10:40:0 Report of the Commission of inquiry into the collapse of a portion of the de la Concorde overpass Table of Contents I am thankful to Ms. Martine Desprez, coordinator for the French, English and electronic production processes, who put up with a quasi impossible, yet unavoidable time schedule. My gratitude goes to our special assistants, Vincent Regnault, Attorney and Mr. Guy Versailles, APR, for their multiple contributions and unrelenting completion of each and every mandate assigned to them. Finally, I thank everyone who has supported our work in so many ways, including Counsel of parties, the experts, and the numerous persons who took of their time to participate in the consultations that nourished the Commissioners in the formulation of their recommendations. To all those who will recognize themselves for their support, I express my gratitude because they have made my task easier as chair of the Commission d’enquête sur l’effondrement d’une partie du viaduc de la Concorde. Pierre Marc Johnson Chairman Montreal, October 12, 2007 88954_00a_prelimA.indd 9 11-10-07 10:40:0 Report of the Commission of inquiry into the collapse of a portion of the de la Concorde overpass Table of Contents INTRODUCTION OF THE COMMISSIONERS The Government has mandated the Commission to investigate the circumstances and causes of the partial collapse of the de la Concorde overpass and to make recommendations on the measures to take to ensure such an event never recurs. Our fi rst words are for the people who lost loved ones and for the injured and their families. The tragic event of September 30, 2006 caused fi ve deaths and disrupted the lives of many people for many years to come. We would like to express our deepest sympathy and hope that our investigation and the contents of this Report provide some measure of closure and help them understand how this tragedy came about. The Commission strictly followed the principles set out in the Krever case delivered by the Supreme Court of Canada in 1997 with regards to the power of inquiry commissions, even though the Court interpreted the federal Inquiries Act rather than Québec law. These principles are as follows: • A commission of inquiry is not a court or tribunal and has no authority to determine legal

  • Don't Decriminalize Weed, Legalize It (Canadian Pot
    Don’t Decriminalize Weed, Legalize It (Canadian Pot Politics) By Cotey Paterson In July of this year, Justin Trudeau, the leader of the federal Liberal Party of Canada, came out in support of cannabis legalization. Trudeau said he’s “not in favour of decriminalizing” cannabis, he’s “in favour of legalizing it”. Trudeau supports taxation and regulation, saying “it’s one of the only ways to keep it [cannabis] out of the hands of our kids because the current war on drugs, the current model isn’t working". Trudeau did not keep it safe by using the weasel-word 'decriminalization', which would keep the black market unharmed while creating uncertainty in the law. Instead, he had the courage to say what a majority of Canadians know: the laws prohibiting cannabis do more harm to users and society than the drug itself. We need to make it known that Canadians support Trudeau’s courageous position. One easy way to do that is by signing the petition to legalize cannabis on the Liberal Party of Canada’s website. It currently has more than 22,000 signatures, but with millions of Canadian cannabis users, there should be many more people willing to take a few minutes to show their support and possibly impact Canada’s drug laws. Trudeau’s pot remarks have been well-received by most – but in the past, he has expressed fears about the danger cannabis poses to society. Additionally, in 2009, Trudeau and other Liberal MPs voted for Bill C-15, which would have imposed mandatory minimum sentences for cannabis-related offences.

Favorite Metal Albums Tour Justin Trudeau: The North Star He was raised in jet-set privilege but overcame tragedy to become Canada's prime minister. Is he the free world's best hope? By Stephen Rodrick Michael Kappeler/ZUMA Let's begin by synchronizing our watches. We are in the Eastern time zone. The legislative session is over, and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is about to give his wrap-up press conference. The reporters trudge into the gallery, grumbling, as reporters like to do, about trac and editors. Someone gives the "10 seconds" signal, and Trudeau strides to the podium. He gives a nod and starts ticking o his accomplishments. The rst is self-praise for cutting taxes on the middle class and raising them on the one percent. "We've given nine out of 10 families more money each month to help with the costs of raising their kids," Trudeau says. RELATED Canada's Legal Weed: What You Need to Know Justin Trudeau introduced a bill that would make marijuana legal – but what will that look like, and what will it mean for the U.S.? It's strange to witness: He speaks in a modulated, indoor voice. His dark hair is a color found in nature. At home, there is a glamorous wife and three photogenic children, still not old enough to warm his seat at next week's G-20 summit or be involved in an espionage scandal.

  • AFFECTIVE PRACTICES of NATION and NATIONALISM on CANADIAN TELEVISION by MARUSYA BOCIURKIW BFA, Nova Scotia C
    I FEEL CANADIAN: AFFECTIVE PRACTICES OF NATION AND NATIONALISM ON CANADIAN TELEVISION by MARUSYA BOCIURKIW B.F.A., Nova Scotia College of Art and Design, 1982 M.A., York University, 1999 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in INTERDISCIPLINARY STUDIES THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA October 2004 © Marusya Bociurkiw 2004 -11 - ABSTRACT In this dissertation, I examine how ideas about the nation are produced via affect, especially Canadian television's role in this discursive construction. I analyze Canadian television as a surface of emergence for nationalist sentiment. Within this commercial medium, U.S. dominance, Quebec separatism, and the immigrant are set in an oppositional relationship to Canadian nationalism. Working together, certain institutions such as the law and the corporation, exercise authority through what I call 'technologies of affect': speech-acts, music, editing. I argue that the instability of Canadian identity is re-stabilized by a hyperbolic affective mode that is frequently produced through consumerism. Delimited within a fairly narrow timeframe (1995 -2002), the dissertation's chronological starting point is the Quebec Referendum of October 1995. It concludes at another site of national and international trauma: media coverage of September 11, 2001 and its aftermath. Moving from traumatic point to traumatic point, this dissertation focuses on moments in televised Canadian history that ruptured, or tried to resolve, the imagined community of nation, and the idea of a national self and national others. I examine television as a marker of an affective Canadian national space, one that promises an idea of 'home'.

  • 2017 Cogeco Fund Annual Report
    Contents A Message from the President Board of Directors Officer Team Legacy 1992-2017 The Legacy of the Cogeco Program Development Fund Timeline Statistics Activities/September 2016 to December 2017 Statistics Production and Development Program Television Production Projects Digital Drama Series Development Professional Development Contact Information A Message from the President Due to the restructuring of the Cogeco Program Development Fund effective on January 1, 2018, this report covers a 16-month period from September 1, 2016 to December 31, 2017. The Fund started from an idea originally put forward by Cogeco Inc. in 1990 and began its activities in 1991. It used the proceeds from a capital endowment contributed by Cogeco with a view to supporting Canadian television programs in the French-language and in the English-language at the early stage of script and concept development. Beginning in 1998, Cogeco decided to provide further financial support to the Fund by way of annual contributions from its licensed cable television systems. These annual contributions allowed the Fund to expand its activities towards the funding of the production of television programs, series, movies-of-the-week and even theatrical Yves Mayrand feature films. The Fund also became a fully independent fund President certified by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC). While the Fund’s programs have evolved over the years in order to adapt to the changes in the Canadian program production sector and in its available resources, it has always remained true to its mission of supporting the sector as a not-for profit Canadian corporation. For the 16 month period covered by this report, the Fund supported the development of 8 webseries in French and 11 webseries in English, as well as the production of 8 television programs in French and 14 television programs in English, for a total financial commitment of $3,014,340.
