Jack did yeoman’s work for the Association for five years I and we thank him for his dedication and leadership. We wish him well in his future endeavours. We hope to have the association’s new executive director in place sometime in April. 2015 – A Look Back Last year was a rewarding one for CAFP. We kicked off Regional Receptions across the country. In doing so, we met with members in Vancouver, Toronto, Halifax and Montreal for lively conversations and good cheer. These events will continue in 2016, and we plan to partner with associations of former provincial members who we enjoy having join us to share their experiences. Our 2015 AGM featured an additional day devoted to policy discussion in partnership with the Library of Parlia- ment. Our Educational Foundation dinner featured prominent political journalist Steve Paikin as guest speaker and honoured the heroic actions of former Sergeant-at-Arms, Kevin Vickers. Our Regional Meeting in Muskoka gave members the chance to learn about the Muskoka airport’s Norwegian connection, the economic importance of the boating industry and the life of Gravenhurt-born Dr. Norman Bet- hune. In November, I had the honour of representing the Association at Remembrance Day underneath the National War Memorial, where I laid the wreath during a very moving ceremony. It takes your breath away when you gaze out across the thousands of Canadians who line the streets to honour those who fought in service to their country. To Our New Members Post-election, the Association welcomes new members from across Canada with an under- standing of what life is like after politics. CAFP provides former members with a vehicle to continue contributing to the public life of Canada. This can be something as straightfor- ward as taking part in our Parliament to Campus program or providing advice to Par- liamentary Interns during our annual round-table sessions. It also allows former members to maintain a relationship with colleagues who served within the Senate and House in what I call a “post partisan” environment. Looking Forward Members should mark their calendars from May 29 to 30, when our 2016 AGM will take place. Our Educational Foundation Dinner will occur in April. Finally, we are planning to hold our Regional Meeting in Halifax this year. Thanks again to all our members for your continued support and encourage- ment. Hon. Andy Mitchell, President Page 4 Beyond the Hill • Spring 2016 Beyond the Hill • Spring 2016 Page 5 CAFP NEws Why not join the Canadian Association of Former Parliamentarians By Scott Hitchcox “The greatest advantage of being involved with CAFP is the sense of fellowship among former members,” says former Progressive Conservative member Dorothy Dobbie. “Partisanship is set aside.

Bill C-71 would also make it harder for honest people to buy, own and use firearms, while making it easier for police to ban and confiscate guns. Licence Refusal Many applicants will be refused their Possession and Acquisition License (PAL) as background checks are expanded to cover their entire lives. Licence Revocation By expanding background checks, Bill C-71 makes it easier for the RCMP to revoke your firearm Possession and Acquisition Licence. No PAL = No firearms. Confiscation All newly reclassified “Prohibited” firearms will be confiscated when their current owners die. Prohibition Immediately reclassifies an estimated 10,000 to15,000 legally purchased and legally owned “Non-Restricted” rifles as “Prohibited”. Gives RCMP greater leeway to reclassify and prohibit any firearm.

  • Parliamentary Internship Programme 2020-21 Annual Report
    Parliamentary Internship Programme 2020-21 Annual Report Annual General Meeting Canadian Political Science Association June 11, 2021 Dr. Paul Thomas Director Web: pip-psp.org Twitter: @PIP_PSP Instagram: @pip-psp Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ParlInternship/ PIP Annual Report 2021 Director’s Message I am delighted to present the Parliamentary Internship Programme’s (PIP) 2020-21 Annual Report to the Canadian Political Science Association (CPSA). The COVID-19 pandemic dramatically reshaped the experience of the 2020-21 internship cohort relative to previous years. Such changes began with a mostly-virtual orientation in September, and continued with remote work in their MP placements, virtual study tours, and Brown-Bag lunches over Zoom. Yet while limiting some aspects of the PIP experience, the pandemic provided opportunities as well. The interns took full advantage of the virtual format to meet with academics, politicians, and other public figures who were inaccessible to previous cohorts relying on in-person meetings. They also learned new skills for online engagement that will serve them well in the hybrid work environment that is emerging as COVID-19 recedes. One thing the pandemic could not change was the steadfast support of the PIP’s various partners. We are greatly indebted to our sponsors who chose to prioritize their contributions to PIPs despite the many pressures they faced. In addition to their usual responsibilities for the Programme, both the PIP’s House of Commons Liasion, Scott Lemoine, and the Programme Assistant, Melissa Carrier, also worked tirelessly to ensure that the interns were kept up to date on the changing COVID guidance within the parliamentary preccinct, and to ensure that they had access to the resources they needed for remote work.
