  • Do Good Intentions Beget Good Policy? Two Steps Forward and One Step Back in the Construction of Domestic Violence in Ontario
    Do Good Intentions Beget Good Policy? Two Steps Forward and One Step Back in the Construction of Domestic Violence in Ontario by April Lucille Girard-Brown A thesis submitted to the Department of Sociology In conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Queen‟s University Kingston, Ontario, Canada January, 2012 Copyright ©April Lucille Girard-Brown, 2012 Abstract The construction of domestic violence shifted and changed as this issue was forced from the private shadows to the public stage. This dissertation explores how government policy initiatives - Bill 117: An Act to Better Protect Victims of Domestic Violence and the Domestic Violence Action Plan (DVAP) - shaped our understanding of domestic violence as a social problem in the first decade of the twenty-first century in Ontario. Specifically, it asks whose voices were heard, whose were silenced, how domestic violence was conceptualized by various stakeholders. In order to do this I analyzed the texts of Bill 117, its debates, the DVAP, as well as fourteen in-depth interviews with anti- violence advocates in Ontario to shed light on their construction of the domestic violence problem. Then I examined who (both state and non-state actors) regarded the work as „successful‟, flawed or wholly ineffective. In particular, I focused on the claims and counter-claims advanced by MPPs, other government officials, feminist or other women‟s group advocates and men‟s or fathers‟ rights group supporters and organizations. The key themes derived from the textual analysis of documents and the interviews encapsulate the key issues which formed the dominant construction of domestic violence in Ontario between 2000 and 2009: the never-ending struggles over funding, debates surrounding issues of rights and responsibilities, solutions proposed to address domestic violence, and finally the continued appearance of deserving and undeserving victims in public policy.

  • Joint Submission In
    February 9, 2007 The Honourable Dalton McGuinty Premier of Ontario Legislative Building Queen's Park Toronto ON M7A 1A1 Dear Premier McGuinty, We are writing to you today to indicate support for the principles of the legislative changes outlined in the Province of Ontario’s Environmental Bill of Rights (EBR) posting # AF07E0001 Proposal - Potential Components for legislative Brownfield Reform. The organizations participating in this joint submission commend the Government of Ontario on their initiative to prepare this Legislative Brownfield Reform Proposal and to identify the potential components of a reform package. We are pleased that the proposed legislative recommendations have focused on “closing the gap” on environmental liability and have addressed a number of key issues related to regulatory, civil, and mine rehabilitation liability, and the Record of Site Condition framework. Based on the information provided in the EBR posting and the recent Brownfields Stakeholder Group Meeting (January 22, 2007), it is anticipated that the proposed legislative recommendations would have beneficial implications to Brownfield redevelopment. In addition, it would create better alignment amongst the key stakeholders involved in the Brownfield process including polluting owners, non-polluting owners and the municipalities. The revised legislation would provide the framework to assist in clarifying many technical expectations amongst Brownfield practitioners and regulators. It would also assist the Government of Ontario in achieving their environmental and economic objectives to build sustainable communities. It is believed that by strengthening regulatory and civil liability protections and streamlining the municipal redevelopment process, a greater number of idle Brownfield sites will reach the marketplace. These proposed legislative recommendations are complemented by recent revisions to the Planning Act, specifically municipal approval of Community Improvement Plans (CIPs) and flexibility in financial tools such as Tax Increment Financing (TIFs).

  • September 20,2006 the Honourable Dalton Mcguinty Premier of Ontario
    September 20,2006 The Honourable Dalton McGuinty Premier of Ontario Legislative Building Queen's Park Toronto ON M7A 1Al Dear Premier McGuinty, We are writing to you today regarding the Province of Ontario continuing to prioritize "Brownfield Redevelopment as a critical part of building strong, healthy and sustainable communities". The Government of Ontario cannot afford to miss this window of opportunity to effect permanent change that will allow Brownfield Redevelopment to occur while simultaneously supporting current provincial policies. Brownfield Redevelopment is an important component in implementing the Province's existing policies and legislation on Smart Growth, including the Green Belt, Places to Grow, Urban Intensification, the Provincial Policy Statement, Transit, Clean Water and Environmental Management. However, without removing the barriers to Brownfield Redevelopment in Ontario, the effectiveness and benefits of these policies will be greatly undermined by the negative impacts and increased costs associated with urban sprawl, including traffic congestion, air pollution, and increased infrastructure and transit service costs. Experience in other jurisdictions has verified that a number of conditions must @start@ exist for Brownfield Redevelopment projects to proceed. These include: Woma Builders' Asscelabon Owners of brownfield properties must be prepared to sell their land to developers who wish to remediate and redevelop this land; Developers must be willing to take the additional risks associated with a Brownfield Redevelopment project compared with a greenfield project; Sources of financing must be available; A workable regime must exist to facilitate remediation of the site to a standard that meets the principle of "good science"; Municipal governments have to be prepared to approve development projects on brownfield sites where verification has been provided that these sites have been made environmentally suitable for the proposed use; and The project has to make economic sense to all the stakeholders.

  • May 19, 2010 Hon. Dalton Mcguinty, Premier Legislative Bldg, Rm 281
    May 19, 2010 Hon. Dalton McGuinty, Premier Legislative Bldg, Rm 281 Queen's Park Toronto, ON M7A1A1 Dear Premier McGuinty: Subject: Ontario Grades 1-8 Health and Physical Education Curriculum “Human Development and Sexual Health” Content On behalf of the Board of Health of the Perth District Health Unit, I am writing this letter to request that you re-consider the decision to withdraw the proposed “Human Development and Sexual Health” content for the new Ontario Grades 1-8 Health and Physical Education Curriculum. The proposed curriculum changes primarily relate to creating awareness and a culture of respect regarding diversity, including visible and invisible differences, sexual orientation, and gender identity. Since 1998, there have been numerous reports written that support the critical need for education and awareness- raising on diversity, and for the elimination of bullying related to visible and invisible differences. The adults in Ontario society must take the steps that are necessary to ensure the development of positive self- concept in all our children and youth. In relation to the sexual health content of the new curriculum, it focuses on developing skills amongst children and youth to navigate the pressures they will be exposed to in our society. The prevention of sexually transmitted infections and the promotion of healthy sexuality are priorities for public health, and this curriculum utilizes the most current understanding in these areas. We request that you review the attached “Board of Health Staff Report”, “Background Documents Supporting the Ontario Grades 1-8 Health and Physical Education Curriculum Healthy Sexuality Content” and “Ontario Grades 1-8 Health and Physical Education Curriculum—Comparison Regarding Healthy Sexuality Content” and approve the “Human Development and Sexual Health” content as proposed.

  • November 20, 2014 the Right Honourable Stephen Harper Prime
    November 20, 2014 The Right Honourable Stephen Harper Prime Minister of Canada Langevin Building 80 Wellington St Ottawa ON K1A 0A2 Dear Sir The Board of Health for the Haliburton, Kawartha, Pine Ridge District Health Unit wishes to express its strong support for the Private Members Bill C-626, which calls for the appointment of a Chief Statistician and the reinstatement of the mandatory Long-Form Census. In 2010, numerous organizations throughout Canada, including our Health Unit (copy enclosed), expressed grave concerns about the cancellation of the mandatory Long-Form Census and replacing it with the voluntary household survey. The concerns that were felt at the time regarding the decreased validity and reliability of a voluntary survey, especially for smaller population areas have been proven to be legitimate. Through known biases and a steady decrease in participation rates, the voluntary National Household Survey (NHS) has not produced the quality of data required by our Health Unit. As stated in chapter one of the National Household Survey User Guide, “The objective of the NHS is to provide data for small geographic areas and small populations groups.”i However, the global non-response rate, an indicator of data quality, has indicated that there is too great a risk of non-response bias and as a result, higher risk of inaccuracy for many communities across the country. The work of Public Health is evidence–based. We utilize data routinely for population health assessment, program and service planning, program evaluation and the identification of priority populations for public health interventions. The voluntary NHS, which replaced the mandatory Long-Form Census for 2011 produced data for our Health Unit’s jurisdiction (Northumberland County, City of Kawartha Lakes and Haliburton County) that have questionable reliability and validity with limited generalizability.

Christopher Twardawa Electoral System Solution ii TwardawaModel.org CTESS.ca About CTESS The Christopher Twardawa Electoral System Solution (CTESS) is the creation of its author – Christopher Twardawa and is designed to provide a better electoral system than what Canada and its provinces now have. With the belief that the current system is good but requires improvements, CTESS strengthens it by identifying deficiencies and proposing innovations. Unlike any other electoral system currently in use and which all have tradeoffs, CTESS has no tradeoffs and therefore eliminates the need to change electoral systems as a whole. Christopher first started thinking about this after the 1993 Canadian federal elections, since the results of those elections appeared to him to be inconsistent with how the voters voted. Ten years later in 2003, while still in university, he came up with the current model (the Twardawa Model) which is a simple yet considerate and sophisticated model. It can be applied to any democratic state under the Westminster model of government and similar systems.
