What the minister did was attend and crown breaches ethical standards which the minister is bound by. It is participate in a pay-to-play fundraiser. particularly disappointing when that minister of the crown is the Minister of Justice and Attorney General of Canada, someone who is bound by the highest ethical standards.

So much for the Prime Minister's ethics code, which states that The Prime Minister, in his opening letter contained in “Open and ministers shall not raise funds from department stakeholders and Accountable Government”, said it is not just a matter of adopting the lobbyists. Certainly, the Minister of Justice disregarded that part of right rules and seeing that those rules are complied with on a the Prime Minister's ethics code. technical basis. Rather, he said that ministers in his government would be held to a higher standard; indeed they would be held to the highest standard of honesty, integrity, openness, and accountability. Let us take a step back and look at what we are dealing with.

  • Counting Maternity: the Measure of Midwifery in Australia, 2002
    COUNTING MATERNITY: THE MEASURE OF MIDWIFERY IN AUSTRALIA, 2002 by Sally Katherine Tracy A PROFESSIONAL DOCTORATE SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF MIDWIFERY UNIVERSITY OF TECHNOLOGY, SYDNEY DECEMBER 2002 1 ABSTRACT The aim of this Professional Doctorate in Midwifery is to challenge the status quo in maternity services through scholarly reflection and research. Through the studies reported here I aim to provide women with information on which to make informed choices about the services available to them, and to ensure politicians become more responsive to the lack of options currently available in Australia. My aim is also to provide measures that would allow maternity service managers to deploy resources more efficiently to achieve the best care. The majority of the papers in the portfolio are derived from population data that is routinely collected in Australia. One of the cornerstones of healthcare improvement is creating meaningful information and measurement from these collections. True comparisons from accurate data can be used to better understand the nature of the system, and to gauge whether changes have been effective. Thus, the information derived from various collections of routinely collected data is used to measure and evaluate the maternity services. This measures only part of the experience of childbirth, however. The Doctorate is a collection of nine major works undertaken in the years 1999 to 2002, during my appointment as a research midwife with the Australian Midwifery Action Project (AMAP). The first paper is an essay that tells of the juxtaposition of two different worldviews and the paradigmatic issues that shape the professional differences between obstetrics and midwifery.

Mr. Majewski informed the public of the current voting system in Canada along with its pros and cons. He presented his views -- also the views of the organization he represents, Fair Vote Canada -- of what a reformed electoral system meant for Canadians. On a more personal note, he said he prefers STV. Daniel Green, Deputy Leader, Green Party of Canada 19h30-19h45 Proportional representation and the views of the Green Party of Canada. Mr. Green quickly resummarized what proportional representation means in an electoral context. He then used Lego ™ blocks to make a comparative analysis of the results of the 2015 Canadian federal elections under a FPTP system versus a system using proportion- al representation. He introduced the concept of vote-poubelles, or lost votes (garbage votes in French), which, to him, disengages Canadian voters.

  • Mass Cancellations Put Artists' Livelihoods at Risk; Arts Organizations in Financial Distress
    Prime Minister Justin Trudeau March 17, 2020 ​ Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland The Honourable Steven Guilbeault The Honourable William Francis Morneau Minister of Canadian Heritage Minister of Finance The Honourable Mona Fortier The Honourable Navdeep Bains Minister of Middle-Class Prosperity Minister of Innovation, Science and Industry Associate Minister of Finance The Honourable Mélanie Joly Minister of Economic Development and Official Languages Re: Mass cancellations put artists’ livelihoods at risk; arts organizations in financial distress Dear Prime Minister Trudeau; Deputy Prime Minister Freeland; and Ministers Guilbeault, Morneau, Fortier, Joly, and Bains, We write as the leadership of Opera.ca, the national association for opera companies and professionals in Canada. In light of recent developments around COVID-19 and the waves of cancellations as a result of bans on mass gatherings, Opera.ca is urgently requesting federal aid on behalf of the Canadian opera sector and its artists -- its most essential and vulnerable people -- while pledging its own emergency support for artists in desperate need. Opera artists are the heart of the opera sector, and their economic survival is in jeopardy. In response to the dire need captured by a recent survey conducted by Opera.ca, the board of directors of Opera.ca today voted for an Opera Artists Emergency Relief Fund to be funded by the association. Further details will be announced shortly. Of the 14 professional opera companies in Canada, almost all have cancelled their current production and some the remainder of the season. This is an unprecedented crisis with long-reaching implications for the entire Canadian opera sector.

Please email [email protected] if you have any data/ information to add or correct. *Original primary source documents are digitized and can be viewed on the web site. Ancestors of the Immigrant Christopher Choate [b.1642] ©1 Christopher Chotte 2 is documented to have immigrated from England as an indentured servant to the Province of Maryland in 1676.*3 There is no information in the records of England or Maryland to indicate his age or where in England he was from. He has been identified by researchers as the first in the "Choates of the South” family line (Generation 1). Attempting to identify the English origins and relatives of Christopher is a challenge since primary source data is limited or yet to be discovered. Below is the beginning of an attempt to identify our English ancestors but these result involve conjecture and the further back one goes pure guess work. 4 The greatest portion of Choat/Choate families from the 1600s in England came from the parishes that make up Essex and Suffolk County today. Research in 1988 5 discovered a Christopher Chote christened on 4 September 1642 in St. Mary’s and All Saints Church, Rivenhall Parish, Essex County. 6 His father’s name was Christopher and an older brother was named Edward. Christopher [b.1642] the progenitor of the “Choates of the South” named his two sons: Christopher and Edward. The naming pattern of Christopher’s [b.1642] sons allows one to draw a plausible link between the indentured servant that arrived in the Province of Maryland in 1676 and the boy christened in Rivenhall in 1642.

  • The Dagg People in St. Kew Jim Dagg, February 2015
    The Dagg People in St. Kew Jim Dagg, February 2015 St Kew parish, one of over 220 in the Duchy of Cornwall, is north of the town of Wadebridge, north of the Camel Valley and inland from Port Isaac in North Cornwall. About 1100 people are permanent residents of the 6500-acre parish and live in hamlets and farms connected by hedge-lined lanes. The lanes are narrow and twisting. Drive with care. Forty miles an hour can lead to some scary encounters with wildlife, other drivers or walkers. Both cyclists and eight and half foot-wide tractors are on a stop-for-nothing mission. The ancient hamlets are called Chapel Amble, Trewethern, Trewethen, St Kew Highway, St Kew, Trelill, Trequite, Tregellist, and Pendoggett. The origins of St Kew parish, lurk in the mists of time. Ancient beginnings have emerged in the work of many historians, archaeologists and people researching family records that are constantly being discovered. Although I am not one of those lucky types, I have developed a spectator interest during many visits to Cornwall, starting back in the early 1970s. Today, the parish is all quiet farmland. There once was a railway, but the station at St Kew Highway closed in the 1960s. Now a main road runs north to south, the A39, optimistically named the Atlantic Highway, and the B3314 road clips the north-west corner through Pendoggett, but all roads by-pass the church town of St Kew. 1 The heart of St Kew parish is St Kew hamlet and the parish church, St James the Great.
