    Appendix “A” Transcript: CBC Sounds Like Canada, May 14, 20081 Shelagh Rogers: …Canada, and I'm Shelagh Rogers. There are many conflicts across the country between natives and non-natives over resource development. Six Anishinabi leaders from Northern Ontario are in jail at the moment because they tried to stop a uranium mine on their traditional territory. Tensions remain high on the boundary between the Six Nations Reserve and Caledonia, Ontario. The Six Nations people oppose a housing project on land they claim as theirs. Disagreements about industrial development occur within aboriginal families, as well. <00:33> Today's generation of aboriginal leaders can make decisions their elders oppose, and these disagreements can create some tension. Peter Penashue is Deputy Grand Chief of the Innu Nation in Labrador, and he supports the provincial government's plan to develop more hydroelectric power on the Churchill River. His mother, Tshaukuesh, strongly disagrees. They're in Goose Bay this morning. Hello to you both. <01:00> Peter Penashue: Good morning. Tshaukuesh Penashue: Good morning. Shelagh Rogers: Peter, would you start by telling me how the first phase of the Churchill Falls Hydroelectric Project affected your people? That was back in the 1970s. 1 Audio file previously submitted to Joint Review Panel. Inaudible portions highlighted. Page 1 of 10 Peter Penashue: Yes, the project released for operation in 1974, and at that time the land that was flooded was 5,700 square kilometres, which was a huge tract of land and flooded many of the traditional lands of the Innu people, and valuable historical lands, and flooded the burial grounds.

  • Lower Churchill Hydro Announcement.Pdf
    Governments of Canada and Newfoundland and Labrador Respond to the Joint Review Panel Report on the Lower Churchill Hydroelectric Generation Project 2012/31 March 15, 2012 Ottawa — The Governments of Canada and Newfoundland and Labrador today released their responses to the report of the Joint Review Panel on the Lower Churchill Hydroelectric Generation Project (the Project) near Happy Valley-Goose Bay in Labrador. “This decision is an important step toward realizing the full potential of one of North America’s most ambitious renewable energy projects,” said the Honourable Peter Penashue, Regional Minister for Newfoundland and Labrador and federal Minister of Intergovernmental Affairs. “It will deliver countless economic benefits to our already flourishing province, to Nova Scotia, and to the rest of Canada.” “Today’s release from the environmental assessment process represents another important milestone and a major step forward as we move towards our decision on final project sanction of Muskrat Falls,” said the Honourable Jerome Kennedy, Minister of Natural Resources, Government of Newfoundland and Labrador. “Development of the Muskrat Falls hydroelectric project will result in countless benefits to our province, the most important being the provision of reliable, least-cost power to meet the growing demand for electricity. We look forward to continuing our work with the federal government to finalize details on a loan guarantee, which represents a tremendous vote of confidence in this renewable energy project.” “Our Government is fully committed to the Lower Churchill development,” said the Honourable Joe Oliver, federal Minister of Natural Resources. “This Project will help create jobs, position Atlantic Canada for long-term prosperity and significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions.” The Joint Review Panel was mandated in 2009 to conduct an examination of the environmental and economic impacts of the Project and to consider comments from the public.

  • The Joyce Report Made Under the House of Assembly Accountability, Integrity and Administration Act
    The Joyce Report made under the House of Assembly Accountability, Integrity and Administration Act August 24, 2018 Bruce Chaulk Commissioner for Legislative Standards 1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY On May 14, 2018, Colin Holloway, (MHA, Terra Nova) (hereinafter referred to as MHA Holloway) wrote the Commissioner’s Office requesting an investigation into the conduct of Edward Joyce, (MHA, Humber – Bay of Islands), (hereinafter referred to as MHA Joyce) with respect to an alleged violation of the Member’s Code of Conduct. MHA Holloway alleged incidents of harassment and intimidation by MHA Joyce directed at MHA Holloway and that these incidents were a violation of sections 3, 4, 5 & 11 of the Members Code of Conduct. MHA Holloway also indicated that the culture of harassment and intimidation was pervasive within the Liberal Party Caucus. While acknowledging the seriousness of the issues raised by MHA Holloway, it must be stated that the statutory mandate of the Commissioner for Legislative Standards is to provide an opinion with respect to the compliance of a member with the provisions of the House of Assembly Accountability, Integrity and Administration Act S.N.L. 2007 c. H-10.1 (hereinafter referred to as the HOAIA) and the Member’s Code of Conduct. I have also considered specifically whether MHA Joyce engaged in behaviour that amounts to harassment. In doing so, I have relied on a definition of harassment as objectionable or offensive behaviour that is known or ought reasonably to be known to be unwelcome. Regarding the comments of MHA Joyce, I note that his intent when making the comments is largely irrelevant in an analy- sis as to whether or not the comments amount to harassment.
