Students' Council Late Additions University of Alberta Students’ Union STUDENTS' COUNCIL LATE ADDITIONS Tuesday March 23, 2010 Council Chambers 2-1 University Hall LATE ADDITIONS (SC 2009-26) 2009-26/1 SPEAKER’S BUSINESS 2009-26/2 PRESENTATIONS 2009-26/3 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE REPORT 2009-26/4 BOARD AND COMMITTEE REPORTS 2009-26/5 QUESTION PERIOD 2009-26/6 BOARD AND COMMITTEE BUSINESS 2009-26/7 GENERAL ORDERS 2009-26/7a FENTIMAN/COX MOVE THAT Students' Council approve Bill #33 in first reading based on the following principles: The Students’ Union shall not allow for the introduction of a dedicated fee unit if the purpose of the fee is not to: a) directly and primarily benefit undergraduate students at the University of Alberta in their pursuit of a post-secondary education, or b) eliminate obstacles for undergraduate students in pursuit of a post- secondary education at the University of Alberta. 2009-26/8 INFORMATION ITEMS 2009-26/8d DIE Board letter Please see document LA 09-26.01 2009-26/8e Nick Dehod, VP Student Life- Report Please see document LA 09-26.02 2009-26/8f Jennifer Huygen, CRO- Report Please see document LA 09-26.03 LATE ADDITIONS SC 09-26 Tuesday March 26, 2010 Page 2 2009-26/8g Zach Fentiman, Presidents- Report Please see document LA 09-26.04 2009-26/8h Beverly Eastham, VP External- Report Please see document LA 09-26.05 2009-26/8i Leah Trueblood, VP Academic- Report Please see document LA 09-26.06 To: Students’ Council, Executive Council Thank you for your attention to this matter. DIE Board is mandated under Bylaw 1500 to include at least 8 and no more than 14 members, includinG a Chief Tribune and two Associate Chief Tribunes. Currently, DIE Board has 12 members, includinG the Chief and one Associate Chief Tribune. At the end of the academic year, 7 of those members, includinG myself and my Associate Chief, are graduating. An effort was made over the course of this academic year to recruit additional members, and to invite the existing members to apply for the open Associate Chief position. Those efforts were unsuccessful. As it stands riGht now, in the fall 2010 semester, DIE Board will consist of at most 5 tribunes, none of whom will be Chief or Associate Chief. The absence of a Chief or Associate Chief is not problematic from the point of view of hearinGs: Our procedures allow us to appoint temporary chairpersons for the purpose of hearinGs. The small number of tribunes does pose a problem, as at least two of our continuing members expect to be studyinG overseas for the first semester of the 2010/2011 academic year. Also, it will be impossible for DIE Board to convene an appeal panel (as opposed to a panel of first instance) in accordance with Bylaw 1500 until such time as it has at least 8 members. The absence of a Chief or Associate also poses an administrative problem, as there is no individual responsible for ensurinG that the administrative needs of the Board are addressed. In liGht of this situation, I have appointed Tribunes Ashvin SinGh and Chris Le to serve on the Tribune Selection Committee, and have asked them to take initiative to ensure that DIE Board’s membership is brouGht in line with the reQuirements of Bylaw 1500 as soon as possible. I am doing this now, before the end of my term, to ensure that this process can start as soon as possible and can continue after my departure uninterrupted. This letter is written to ask Students’ Council and the Executive to take similar steps and work throuGh their representatives on the Tribune Selection Committee with Tribunes SinGh and Le to ensure that this situation is resolved as soon as possible. It would also be helpful if the members of the Students’ Union and the Executive could actively recruit appropriate candidates for membership in DIE Board, and refer them to the Tribune Selection Committee. I have asked the current members of DIE Board to do the same. Jason Morris Chief Tribune, DIE Board 2009/2010 Report to Council March 23, 2010 Vice President (Student Life) Prepared by: Nick Dehod, Vice President (Student Life) To: Students’ Council 2009/2010 Dean of Students’ Selection Committee A large percentage of my time this week is dedicated to the Selection Committee for the Dean of Students. It’s been an intensive process and I look forward to reporting the outcome at a future Council meeting. Health & Dental Plan Committee Before tonight’s council meeting we will have had another Health & Dental Plan Committee Meeting. We have had a number of applicants for the committee, which is exciting. Tonight we will be having studentcare.net/works present on usage of the plan this year. Legislate This! Thank you to everyone that came out last Thursday. We have received a large amount of media coverage and I do believe this will have an impact on the outcome of the current fee increase discussion. A special thanks to those who offered to act as marshals as we directed people down 88th street and across the bridge. Nomination Committee/Programming This is also where some of my time has been dedicated. That said, my nomination committee time is coming to an end as I pass the torch over to the new VPSL Rory Tighe. Rory will soon be an expert when it comes to interview questions and sifting through resumes and cover letters. I wish him the best as he continues to work with our service staff to create next year’s team. Rory and I have also had conversations with the Senior Manager of Programming & Venues about what programming will look like next year. We have been making tweaks to the Student Programmer position and finding extra hours for the job so that we can increase our capacity to deliver quality programming. Based on the conversations I have had with Rory it looks like there will be a lot of really exciting things happening in the programming side of the house next year. Sustainability Audit Coordinator The last few weeks we have been discussing the creation of a student sustainability audit coordinator position for the summer. Pending approval of the budget, we will move ahead and begin the hiring process for this position. Page 1 of 2 Transition The incoming executive met over the weekend to begin focusing on our goals for next year. It’s looking to be a strong team and I’m looking forward to carrying the momentum of this year into the next one. We plan to meet every two weeks for a few hours, and hopefully having a one-day retreat sometime in the middle of April. The emphasis right now is on portfolio-based transition so that the incoming can be brought up to speed with the various issues and responsibilities of the portfolio. As always, if you have any other questions ask during council, stop by the office, or send me an email at [email protected]. “To hell with circumstances, I create opportunities” – Bruce Lee Page 2 of 2 2009/2010 Report to Students’ Council March 23, 2010 Students’ Union Elections Office Submitted by: Jennifer Huygen, Chief Returning Officer Submitted to: Students’ Council Mr. Craig Turner, Speaker Ms. Leah Trueblood, Vice President (Academic) Subject: 2010 Students’ Council and General Faculties Council Election Results Please find attached the detailed results from the Students’ Council and General Faculties Council Election that took place on March 18 and 19, 2010.

  • Alberta 2008 Provincial Election As Analyzed with PRP a Comparison of the First-Past-The-Post Results to PRP Results
    ELECTORALCHANGE.CA Alberta 2008 Provincial Election as Analyzed With PRP A comparison of the first-past-the-post results to PRP results Dave Brekke and Ted Dean 9/1/2013 A compilation of the results of the 2008 Alberta provincial election compared to the results of PRP electoral system results using the same election data. Alberta 2008 Provincial Election as Analyzed With PRP Summary To acquire proportional seats without adding seats, two adjacent ridings were made into one riding with the assistance of Alberta friend, Larry MacKillop. Eight-two ridings became forty-one ridings plus forty one proportional seats. The proportional seats helped reach a closer match between votes of political parties and seats won by them. Ten electoral areas were established to give relative closeness to proportionally elected MLAs and the voters who helped to elect them. Each electoral area had four, six, eight or ten MLAs, half representing ridings and half representing their electoral area. For electoral area results, see below. For more on how this system would work and other election results go to www.electoralchange.ca . The Riding of West Yellowhead is not included in this analysis to allow for an even number of ridings. That riding stays its present size, has preferential voting, but will not be in a proportional electoral area. 1 Alberta 2008 Provincial Election as Analyzed With PRP General Comparison of Systems on Alberta 2008 Provincial Election Results All Seat Groupings 10 Seats or Less Political Party PC Liberal NDP Wildrose Green Other Popular

    Legislative Assembly Province of Alberta No. 2 VOTES AND PROCEEDINGS First Session Twenty-Sixth Legislature Wednesday, March 2, 2005 The Speaker took the Chair at 3:00 p.m. Speaker’s Statement The Speaker offered a prayer and a moment of silence was observed in recognition of the Late, The Honourable Dr. Lois E. Hole, who passed away on January 6, 2005. While awaiting the arrival of His Honour the Honourable the Lieutenant Governor, the Royal Canadian Artillery Band played a brief musical interlude. His Honour the Honourable the Lieutenant Governor entered the Assembly and took his seat on the Throne. Speaker's Address to the Lieutenant Governor The Speaker said: May it please Your Honour, the Legislative Assembly have elected me as their Speaker, though I am but little able to fulfil the important duties thus assigned to me. 1 If in the performance of those duties I should at any time fall into error, I pray that the fault may be imputed to me and not the Assembly, whose servant I am, and who, through me, the better to enable them to discharge their duties to their Queen and Province, hereby claim all their undoubted rights and privileges, especially that they may have freedom of speech in their debates, access to your person at all seasonable times, and that their proceedings may receive from you the most favourable construction. Statement by the Provincial Secretary The Provincial Secretary, Hon. Mr. Stevens, then said: I am commanded by His Honour the Honourable the Lieutenant Governor to declare to you that he freely confides in the duty and attachment of this Assembly to Her Majesty's person and Government, and, not doubting that the proceedings will be conducted with wisdom, temperance, and prudence, he grants and upon all occasions will recognize and allow the Assembly's constitutional privileges.
