    Fisheries and Oceans Canada (j) w r­ <( ~ Performance Report -r- (j) w For the period ending March 31, 2006 Canada The Estimates Documents Each year, the government prepares Estimates in support of its request to Parliament for authority to spend public monies. This request is formalized through the tabling of appropriation bills in Parliament. The Estimates, which are tabled in the House of Commons by the President of the Treasury Board, consist of: Part I-The Government Expense Plan provides an overview of federal spending and summarizes the key elements of the Main Estimates. Part II -The Main Estimates directly support the Appropriation Act. The Main Estimates identify the spending authorities ( otes) and amounts to be included in subsequent appropriation bills. Parliament will be asked to approve these votes to enable the government to proceed with its spending plans. Parts I and II of the Estimates are tabled concurrently on or before March I. Part III - Departmental Expenditure Plans, which is divided into two components: I) Reports on Plans and Priorities (RPPs) are individual expenditure plans for each department and agency (excluding Crown corporations). These reports provide increased levels of detail over a three-year period on an organisation's main priorities by strategic outcome(s), program activity(s) and planned/expected results, including links to related resource requirements. The RPPs also provide details on human resource requirements, major capital projects, grants and contributions, and net program costs.

We present the first quantitative Pinniped study of icebreakers transiting ice-breeding habitat of a phocid seal and recommendations for mitigation. Impacts Marine mammal were recorded from the vessel bridge during seven ice seasons 2006–2013, for Caspian seals (Pusa caspica) Ship strikes breeding on the winter ice-field of the Caspian Sea. Impacts included displacement and separation of mothers and Aerial survey pups, breakage of birth or nursery sites and vessel-seal collisions. The flight distance of mothers with pups ahead Conservation was < 100 m, but measurable disturbance occurred at distances exceeding 200 m.

  • Nonviolent Struggle in West Papua: “We Have a Hope” - Jason Macleod
    NONVIOLENT ALTERNATIVES FOR SOCIAL CHANGE – Nonviolent Struggle in West Papua: “We Have a Hope” - Jason MacLeod NONVIOLENT STRUGGLE IN WEST PAPUA: “WE HAVE A HOPE” Jason MacLeod Australian Centre for Peace and Conflict Studies, University of Queensland, Brisbane, Australia Keywords: West Papua, nonviolent action, strategic nonviolent action, strategy, pillars of support, self-determination movements, and oppositional consciousness. Contents 1. Introduction 2. Historical background 3. Root causes of the conflict in West Papua 4. The sources of the Indonesian Government’s power in West Papua 5. Armed resistance to Indonesian rule in West Papua 6. Contemporary nonviolent struggle in West Papua 7. Ways forward 8. Conclusion Acknowledgements Glossary Bibliography Biographical Sketch Summary A nonviolent struggle for self-determination has been occurring in West Papua, an Indonesian colony located on the Western rim of the Pacific. A previous Dutch colonial outpost that Indonesia took control of in 1963, West Papua has been the scene of one of the most protracted, complex, and volatile conflicts in the Pacific. The nonviolent struggle in West Papua has rarely been noticed or analyzed in depth by West Papuan scholars whose inquiries have focused on conventional politicking and armed resistance. Nor has nonviolent struggle in West Papua been investigated by those conducting research into the dynamics of nonviolent action. The nonviolent struggle for self- determination in West Papua has also received little sustained analytical attention from domesticUNESCO Indonesia media outlets adding – to widespreadEOLSS Indonesian ignorance about the causes of West Papuan grievances. A banning on foreign journalists traveling to West Papua has further contributed to West Papua’s marginalization in the international press.

The relations between China and Pacific island countries are now better than ever and face important opportunities of development. China will work with Pacific island countries to brave the wind and waves and set sail for a brighter future of our relations. -Chinese President Xi, November 2018 Overview Melanesia is a Matrix Game designed to introduce players to the Melanesia region, its major actors and its most important dynamics. It is the second title in a series of Matrix Games on Oceania using the same core rules as the previous title, Micronesia. An overview of the Melanesia region follows in the next section (references to the game Melanesia will be italicized). The major actors represented in the game (either as player countries or through game design) are the Melanesian minor powers: the Autonomous Region of Bougainville, Fiji, New Caledonia, Papua New Guinea (PNG), the Solomon Islands, Vanuatu, and West Papua; and the major regional powers: Australia, China, Indonesia, New Zealand, Taiwan, and the United States.

There we must hope that they may have found some route less formidable than the others have shown themselves on first acquaintance. The idea that the slopes of the mountain towards the Tibetan plateau might, as elsewhere, be much less steep than towards the south is evidently wrong; they could not be much steeper than they are. The difficulties are indeed formidable ; but the " Fading Hopes " of the Times9 poster on September 10 are not yet those of the Mount Everest Committee, still less of the expedition in the field, whose duty this year was to reconnoitre all the approaches to the mountain, but not to spend time early in the season on any one route until they had satisfied themselves that there was none easier that had been overlooked.

  • West Papua, Defusing the Minefield. a ‘Failing Papuan State’?
    West Papua, defusing the minefield. A ‘failing Papuan State’? BY BONNY KAIYO Introduction West Papua is a colony settled by two alien administrations, namely the Dutch for 300 years and later Indonesia for 60 years. It is by definition a UN Trust Territory that shows all the signs to follow Timor-Leste and South Sudan into statehood at the right time, but its success as a new Melanesian state is shadowed by the so-called 'failing state', tag like its closest neighbours Papua New Guinea (PNG), Timor-Leste and the Solomon Islands. It is possible West Papua would face similar difficulties affecting its neighbouring tribal Melanesian countries post-independence, and there are challenges an independent West Papua could likely face. Despite the cannibalized decolonization process, if given freedom there are also prospects for a better future for ordinary Papuans, whether through independence or genuine autonomy within Indonesia. Background History repeats itself as truth and falsehood converge, and in an endless process, the dialectics of the different historical epochs have a tendency to probe suspect conclusions and insinuate preferences to bring back merit to a vile human civilization. Indeed, historical account of the failure by the international community or society, and especially the US, to come good on the doctrine of responsibility to protect the world and the colonized subjects in the non – European world, is contentious. It points to blanks which exist in the writing of possible histories for Non – Self Governing Territories including West New Guinea or West Papua in the endeavour towards a comparison of conferment of statehood on colonial peoples who fought for their emancipation.
