National Golf Industry Awareness Days National Golf Industry Awareness Days The Canadian Society of Club Managers ________________________________________________________ La Société canadienne des directeurs de clubs Photo credits: Denis Drever and Neil Valois National Golf Industry Awareness Days Reception June 6th - June 7th, 2011 The National Allied Golf Associations (NAGA) brought golf industry representatives from across the country to Parliament Hill in order to comment on Minister Flaherty’s recent Budget and to advocate for tax fairness for the game of golf, Canada’s most popular sport. NAGA held the industry’s first federal golf awareness day to underscore the importance of the sport for the health of Canadians, and the significance of the industry for the Canadian economy. The Issue Due to a 40-year-old tax reform, the Canada Revenue Agency does not allow deductions for expenses incurred by business people entertaining clients at golf courses. Canada’s 2,500 golf courses, most of whom are small business operators, cannot compete fairly with all other hospitality industries where CRA does support entertaining clients. Over time, the unfairness of this discrimination against the golf industry has become more and more significant. In 1971, the golf industry consisted mostly of member owned, not-for-profit, private golf clubs, which were actually social clubs, not businesses. However, virtually all golf courses since then have been built as tax paying, for-profit businesses, competing in the marketplace with all others in the hospitality and entertainment industries. Therefore, the unfairness against golf courses dictated by the Income Tax Act is a much more widespread concern today. To these 2,500 golf course operators, who are now facing the most competitive marketplace in the industry’s history, this unfair tax legislation is no longer a tolerable disadvantage. Delegates spoke to MPs and Senators and requested a 50% allowable deduction for greens fees and golf car rentals, which would then allow fair competition with other hospitality and entertainment industries. National Golf Industry Awareness Days Reception th th To kick-off the day, NAGA hosted a reception in the East Block Courtyard on Parliament Hill. June 6 - June 7 , 2011 It was the perfect occasion for the delegates to mingle with Members of Parliament (MP) and Senators in a less formal environment. The reception featured several golf activities including a launch monitor, a golf simulator and a putting green. The reception also featured a raffle with some fantastic prizes including tickets to the RBC Canadian Open, and gift certificates to several golf courses. All proceeds of the raffle served to benefit theThe Mike Weir Foundation, which is dedicated to advancing the physical, emotional and educational welfare of children. Over 70 MPs, Senators, and Parliamentary Staffers attended the reception. This was a fantastic achievement particularly given that this was NAGA’s first ever federal government advocacy effort. This high attendance showcases the interest MPs and Senators have in the national golf industry, and their commitment to its future success.

    The Right to Authentic Political Communication by Ann Elizabeth Rees M.A., Simon Fraser University, 2005 B.A., Simon Fraser University, 1980 Dissertation Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the School of Communication Faculty of Arts and Social Science Ann Elizabeth Rees 2016 SIMON FRASER UNIVERSITY Spring 2016 Approval Name: Ann Elizabeth Rees Degree: Doctor of Philosophy Title: The Right to Authentic Political Communication Examining Committee: Chair: Katherine Reilly, Assistant Professor Peter Anderson Senior Supervisor Associate Professor Catherine Murray Supervisor Professor Alison Beale Supervisor Professor Andrew Heard Internal Examiner Associate Professor Political Science Department Paul Thomas External Examiner Professor Emeritus Department of Political Studies University of Manitoba Date Defended/Approved: January 22, 2016 ii Abstract Increasingly, governments communicate strategically with the public for political advantage, seeking as Christopher Hood describes it to “avoid blame” and “claim credit” for the actions and decisions of governance. In particular, Strategic Political Communication (SPC) is becoming the dominant form of political communication between Canada’s executive branch of government and the public, both during elections and as part of a “permanent campaign” to gain and maintain public support as means to political power. This dissertation argues that SPC techniques interfere with the public’s ability to know how they are governed, and therefore undermines the central right of citizens in a democracy to legitimate elected representation by scrutinizing government and holding it to account. Realization of that right depends on an authentic political communication process that provides citizens with an understanding of government. By seeking to hide or downplay blameworthy actions, SPC undermines the legitimation role public discourse plays in a democracy.
