  • Les Provinces Et La Fédéralisation De L'immigration Au Canada, 1990-2010
    Université de Montréal Les provinces et la fédéralisation de l’immigration au Canada, 1990-2010 par Mireille Paquet Département de science politique Faculté des arts et des sciences Thèse présentée à la Faculté des arts et des sciences en vue de l’obtention du grade de doctorat en science politique Octobre 2013 © Mireille Paquet, 2013 Pour la réalisation de cette thèse, un grand pan de mes recherches empiriques a été effectué à Bibliothèques et Archives Canada à Ottawa entre 2010 et 2012. Depuis la fin de 2012, sous l’impulsion d’une restructuration commanditée par le gouvernement conservateur, la collection des publications provinciale n’est désormais plus accessible aux chercheurs, et ce, pour une durée indéterminée. Cet état de fait doit être connu et dénoncé, alors que la recherche comparée sur les provinces réserve encore tant de trésors. ii Remerciements J’ai eu le privilège immense de travailler sous la direction de Jane Jenson pendant 5 ans. Je lui suis reconnaissante de m’avoir convaincue de m’installer à Montréal plutôt qu’à l’autre bout du pays et d’avoir trouvé mon projet de départ quelque peu intéressant. Surtout, je me sens très privilégiée d’avoir pu bénéficier de sa confiance de son support, de ses critiques constructives et d’avoir eu la chance faire virevolter mes idées folles dans son bureau. Sa patience, sa générosité et son honnêteté me furent très chères durant mon doctorat. En plus d’être une directrice hors pair, Jane est un modèle de chercheuse, d’intellectuelle publique et aussi de collègue que je compte tenter de répliquer (avec plus ou moins de succès, j’imagine) durant ma carrière.

  • White Paper – Reconfiguring Settlement and Integration
    RECONFIGURING SETTLEMENT AND INTEGRATION: A SERVICE PROVIDER STRATEGY FOR INNOVATION AND RESULTS Prepared by Meyer Burstein On behalf of CISSA-ACSEI Canadian Immigrant Settlement Sector Alliance Alliance canadienne du secteur de l’établissement des immigrants FOREWORD This study was commissioned by CISSA-ACSEI: the Canadian Immigrant Settlement Sector Alliance - Alliance canadienne du secteur de l’établissement des immigrants. CISSA/ACSEI was formed in March 2005 to represent the immigrant settlement sector and to bring the sector’s expertise to bear on public policies and programs for enhancing the settlement and integration of immigrants and refugees. CISSA-ACSEI is dedicated to creating a society in which all immigrants and refugees are able to participate fully. The study is consistent with this objective. Its purpose is to take stock of emerging trends and to map a way forward that will allow settlement service providers to acquire the tools and capacities they need to partner with governments in meeting the challenges facing both newcomers and the communities in which they settle. The study was made possible by the generous assistance of the provincial settlement umbrella organizations that helped to organize workshops and meetings on behalf of the study’s author. As well, thanks is owed to the many service provider representatives, federal and provincial officials and others who agreed to often lengthy interviews and provided important insights into service delivery and public policy issues. CISSA-ACSEI commends the study to interested stakeholders as a first, serious step towards fundamental realignment in how the sector is organized and how it comports itself. Settlement organizations want to play a larger role in shaping and contributing to the future of Canada.

Using feminist and social movement theory, it tracks how abortion was represented as a political issue, how it was regulated and how different players shaped the development of the current situation. The historical analysis prioritizes the significance of what abortion signalled on all sides of the issue.
