Backgrounder – a Safer Canada Andrew Scheer's Plan for a Safer
Backgrounder – A Safer Canada Andrew Scheer’s plan for A Safer Canada Too many families Canada continue to live in fear of violent gang, gun, and drug-related violence. Justin Trudeau talks a good game about fighting gun violence but it is clear he is not as advertised. His failure to keep illegal guns from crossing the border or to keep violent gang and gun criminals behind bars continues to leave too many innocent families at risk. Justin Trudeau’s plan – forcing people who already follow the law to follow more laws in the form of a firearms ban – will do nothing to tackle crime or gun violence. As Toronto Police Chief Mark Saunders has said: “In recent years, we have seen that 80% of the firearms are coming in from the border.” And: “By and large, shootings have street gang connotations to them or are street gang related.” Only Andrew Scheer and the Conservatives have a plan to fight gang violence and gun crime. Not only will a Conservative government do more to keep your family safe from gang and gun crime, it will also take meaningful action to fight the addiction crisis by helping more people get the treatment they need for recovery, while cracking down on the despicable practice of human trafficking. THE ISSUE Since 2015, homicides in Canada are up by 8% and incidents of violent crime are up by 7%. Last year Canada had the second highest gang homicide rate since the data began being collected in 2005. According to Peel Region police, 75% of illegal handguns seized are smuggled from the U.S., while Ottawa’s police chief has also acknowledged that firearms smuggled from the U.S. -

Brief Submitted to the Committee
Standing Committee on Indigenous and Northern Affairs Sixth Floor, 131 Queen Street House of Commons Ottawa ON K1A 0A6 Canada November 27, 2020 Please accept this brief for the Standing Committee on Indigenous and Northern Affairs study of support for Indigenous communities, businesses, and individuals through a second wave of Covid-19. SITUATION Since March 2020, James Smith Cree Nation (JSCN) and the Federation of Sovereign Indigenous Nations (FSIN), have made requests to Canada for funding support for a First Nations led and managed solution to address our urgent and emergency need for Personal Protective Equipment in order to ensure the safety and wellbeing of our communities in the face of COVID-19. We have engaged exhaustive correspondence and communications about these proposals with: Rt. Hon. Justin Trudeau, Hon. Chrystia Freeland, Hon. Marc Miller, Mr. Mike Burton, Hon. Carolyn Bennett, and ISC Regional officials Jocelyn Andrews, Rob Harvey and Bonnie Rushowick. Despite extensive consultations and discussions with the department and minister’s office, we have experienced significant delays and denials from Canada to support these urgently needed and emergency proposals. This has been well documented since May, with particular reference to ‘Indigenous Services Moving Goalposts on First Nations PPE’, CBC News, September 11, 2020 (https://www.cbc.ca/news/indigenous/first-nations-ppe-proposal-1.5721249). The failed funding and departmental dysfunction have resulted in significant outbreaks which are occurring across our regions. By Canada’s own admission on November 29, COVID-19 is now four times (4x) worse in First Nations, Inuit and Métis communities than during the first wave which occurred from March through May 2020. -

October 21, 2020 The Right Honourable Justin Trudeau The Honourable Jonathan Wilkinson Prime Minister of Canada Minister of Environment and Climate Change The Honourable Chrystia Freeland The Honourable Seamus O’Regan Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Minister of Natural Resources Finance The Honourable Catherine McKenna Minister of Infrastructure and Communities House of Commons Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0A6 RE: CHFCA Support for the Hydrogen Strategy for Canada Dear Ministers, The Canadian Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Association (CHFCA) represents Canada’s world leading hydrogen and fuel cell sector. We have over 70 member companies comprising over 2,000 employees in highly skilled jobs and the sector has attracted over $0.5 billion of investment in the past 2 years -- and is growing. But this is only the tip of the iceberg. Hydrogen energy will benefit millions of Canadians and help scores of industries decarbonize. The Hydrogen Council forecasts the global sector will become a $2.5 trillion annual market by 2050 to achieve net-zero CO2 emissions, while the Bank of America cites Bloomberg BNEF forecasting an $11 trillion infrastructure market over the next 30 years1. Canada is well positioned to secure a large share of that market due to the world renown strength of our technology companies and energy resources. But over 26 other countries also see the opportunity, so there is urgency to move quickly to maintain our Canadian advantage. For that reason, the CHFCA, with the support of other leading Canadian industry associations, urges: 1. The prompt release of the Hydrogen Strategy for Canada, 2. That it be backed with significant federal government investment, and 3. -
Cpha Letter to Prime Minister on Drug Shortage Concerns
August 8, 2019 The Right Honourable Justin Trudeau, P.C., M.P. Prime Minister of Canada Langevin Block Ottawa, ON K1A 0A2 Dear Prime Minister Over the last two weeks, Canadians along with pharmacists have been alarmed by the growing interest from our American counterparts to import medications from Canada into the US and the impact that this could have on Canada’s drug supply. While we sympathize with American patients who are seeking affordable access to medications, we do not believe that this is a practical or sustainable solution to addressing their domestic concerns. While we are very encouraged that the federal government is meeting with stakeholders next week to develop a plan to address the US proposal, the focus and attention on the recent US announcement has also put a much-needed spotlight on an issue that is deeply concerning to Canadians. Drug shortages in Canada are not a new phenomenon but pharmacists are reporting significant increases in the last 3-5 years. In some cases, pharmacists have indicated that up to 50% of their weekly order was not able to be filled. This trend has also been confirmed by patients with one in four Canadians saying that they have experienced a shortage, either personally or a family/friend. Given the nature of the global supply chain and the challenges that health care providers experience on the front lines, we would urge the government to commit to a clear drug shortage action plan that would include: 1. Research on the underlying causes of shortages in Canada and globally 2. -

Food Secure Canada [email protected]
Minister Ministre of Agriculture and de !'Agriculture et de Agri-Food l'Agroalimentaire Ottawa, Canada K1A OC5 Quote: 24 7280 JAN 16 2019 Ms. Diana Bronson and Co-Signatories Executive Director Food Secure Canada [email protected] Dear Ms. Bronson and Co-Signatories: I am writing in response to your correspondence to the Right Honourable Justin Trudeau regarding leadership on A Food Policy for Canada and other federal policies, which was forwarded to me for consideration. As you know, the Office of the Prime Minister forwarded a copy of your correspondence to the Honourable Ginette Petitpas Taylor, Minister of Health, and the Honourable Dominic LeBlanc, Minister of Intergovernmental and Northern Affairs. I appreciate being made aware of the concerns that members of Food Secure Canada and other organizations have regarding the timely announcement of A Food Policy for Canada. As the Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food, I am honoured that the Prime Minister asked me to lead on a food policy that promotes healthy living and safe food by putting more healthy, high-quality food produced by Canadian ranchers and farmers on the tables of families across the country. A Food Policy for Canada is expected to be a federal, whole-of-government initiative that will establish a long-term vision for a coordinated and systems-based approach to addressing a broad scope of food-related issues in Canada. Throughout the public consultations held in 2017 on this food policy, Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (AAFC) heard from many participants about the importance of taking a balanced approach toward addressing the interconnected themes of food security, health and food safety, environmental sustainability, and economic growth.
