  • Parliamentary Internship Programme 2020-21 Annual Report
    Parliamentary Internship Programme 2020-21 Annual Report Annual General Meeting Canadian Political Science Association June 11, 2021 Dr. Paul Thomas Director Web: pip-psp.org Twitter: @PIP_PSP Instagram: @pip-psp Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ParlInternship/ PIP Annual Report 2021 Director’s Message I am delighted to present the Parliamentary Internship Programme’s (PIP) 2020-21 Annual Report to the Canadian Political Science Association (CPSA). The COVID-19 pandemic dramatically reshaped the experience of the 2020-21 internship cohort relative to previous years. Such changes began with a mostly-virtual orientation in September, and continued with remote work in their MP placements, virtual study tours, and Brown-Bag lunches over Zoom. Yet while limiting some aspects of the PIP experience, the pandemic provided opportunities as well. The interns took full advantage of the virtual format to meet with academics, politicians, and other public figures who were inaccessible to previous cohorts relying on in-person meetings. They also learned new skills for online engagement that will serve them well in the hybrid work environment that is emerging as COVID-19 recedes. One thing the pandemic could not change was the steadfast support of the PIP’s various partners. We are greatly indebted to our sponsors who chose to prioritize their contributions to PIPs despite the many pressures they faced. In addition to their usual responsibilities for the Programme, both the PIP’s House of Commons Liasion, Scott Lemoine, and the Programme Assistant, Melissa Carrier, also worked tirelessly to ensure that the interns were kept up to date on the changing COVID guidance within the parliamentary preccinct, and to ensure that they had access to the resources they needed for remote work.

  • Trudeau Attacks Calls to Close Borders: “There Is a Lot of Knee-Jerk Reaction That Isn’T Keeping People Safe”
    The road to Canada's COVID-19 outbreak, Pt. 3: timeline of federal government failure at border to slow the virus Author of the article: David Staples • Edmonton Journal Publishing date: April 3, 2020 • 29 minute read Prime Minister Justin Trudeau speaks from behind a podium bearing the hyperlink to a federal government website about the coronavirus disease during a press conference about COVID-19 in front of his residence at Rideau Cottage in Ottawa, on Sunday, March 22, 2020. JUSTIN TANG / THE CANADIAN PRESS Pt. 3, March: Trudeau attacks calls to close borders: “There is a lot of knee-jerk reaction that isn’t keeping people safe” COVID-19 exploded upon the world in March 2020, shutting down much of the economy in Europe and North America by mid-month, just as it had already done in Asia in January and February. But early in the month, the Liberal government in Ottawa clung to the notion that it must not close its borders to travellers, or quarantine them when they arrived, even as that was by then standard practice in Asia, and even as infection brought in by travellers were spreading in Canadian towns and cities. Yet by the end of the month, the Liberal policy did a complete about-face, shutting down our borders. In Parts 1 and 2, we looked at the multi-partisan in effort to dig in and question Canada‟s border policies on COVID-19. In Part. 3 of our series, the timeline is extended into March, detailing the key quotes and debates leading to the federal policy change.

    June 3, 2021 Honourable Jonathan Wilkinson, P.C., M.P. Minister of Environment and Climate Change [email protected] Mr. Dan Albas, M.P. Conservative Shadow Minister for Environment and Climate Change [email protected] Ms. Laurel Collins, M.P. NDP Critic for Environment and Climate Change [email protected] Mme Monique Pauzé Bloc Québécois Critic for Environment [email protected] Ms. Annamie Paul Leader of the Green Party of Canada [email protected] Dear Minister Wilkinson, Mr. Albas, Ms. Collins, Madame Pauzé, Ms. Paul, As organizations concerned with environmental health, we have long advocated for modernization of the Canadian Environmental Protection Act and recognition in law of the right to a healthy environment. We therefore welcomed the introduction of Bill C-28, the Strengthening Environmental Protection for a Healthier Canada Act and urge all political parties to prioritize its passage with improvements. These are our initial recommendations for strengthening Bill C-28. As you know, CEPA provides the legislative framework for protecting human health and the environment from pollution and toxics. The law has not been significantly amended for more than two decades, yet sources of pollution and our scientific understanding of risks have 1 changed dramatically over this time. Four years ago, the House Standing Committee on Environment and Sustainable Development reviewed CEPA and all parties agreed it should be modernized. Now, the climate emergency, global plastic pollution and a respiratory illness pandemic make strengthening CEPA an even more urgent priority, to protect the environment and the health of all people in Canada — particularly those who are marginalized and those in vulnerable situations, including Indigenous people, women, workers and racialized communities.
