Target 11 commits parties to an aspirational goal of protecting at least 17% of terrestrial and inland waters and 10% of coastal and marine areas by 2020. The target also mandates that protection focus on areas of particular importance for biodiversity and ecosystem services and that protected areas be well-managed, ecologically representative, well-connected and integrated into the wider landscapes and seascapes. Canada’s achievement of target 11 formed the foundation of the Committee’s study. Intact, functional ecosystems

Rempel Garner proposed the health committee (HESA) undertake a study to look at 17 different elements, including rapid, at-home testing; vaccine development; long-term care protocols within federal jurisdiction; the Public Health Agency of Canada ’s Global Public Health Intelligence Network; contact tracing protocol; and Canada’s level of preparedness for future pandemics.

Rempel Garner’s motion was introduced after opposition members of the committee voted to adjourn the debate on a motion presented by Liberal MP and committee member Tony Van Bynen (Newmarket-Aurora, Ont.), who was calling for a study on the mental health impacts of COVID-19 on Canadians.

    Document generated on 09/26/2021 1:03 p.m. Recherches amérindiennes au Québec e Les Algonquins de la rivière Dumoine au xix siècle The Algonquins of Dumoine River during the nineteenth century Los Algonquinos del río Dumoine en el siglo XIX Serge Goudreau Identités, savoirs, archéologie… Article abstract Volume 45, Number 2-3, 2015 This article focuses on the existence of an Aboriginal band, the one of Dumoine River basically described in the anthropological writings of Frank G. Speck in URI: https://id.erudit.org/iderudit/1038037ar 1915. During his fieldwork, Speck reports that the Dumoine River’s band DOI: https://doi.org/10.7202/1038037ar splintered in the late nineteenth century, and its members had likely joined the Natives of the Coulonge River. The purpose of this research is to identify the See table of contents families of Dumoine River and establish that they continued to frequent the Outaouais territory. To demonstrate this I have used demographic data from the oral tradition collected by Speck along with archival sources, the civil register and official censuses of the Outaouais region.
