Lors du Discours su Trône qui a eu lieu cet après-midi dans la Chambre du Sénat, des points intéressants ont encore été abordés  mais j’aimerais m’arrêter sur deux points majeurs qui me semble importants : la formation des forces canadiennes qui vont rester en Afghanistan et les droits immobiliers des Autochtones.

Lorsque j’étais l’ex-vice-présidente du Comité sénatorial permanent des droits de la personne, en novembre 2010, notre comité a publié son rapport à ce sujet  et nous avons souligné l’importance de l’implication des femmes afghanes dans le processus de négociation de la paix. Oui, nos troupes restent en Afghanistan, mais l’orientation change : nous allons nous concentrer sur une formation sexo-spécifique des forces d’ordre afghanes mais avant ceci, la formation adéquate de nos formateurs.

Selon ce discours, le Gouvernement déposera des projets des lois qui visent à protéger les droits immobiliers des Autochtones et qu’ils soient protégés au même titre que tous les autres Canadiens et Canadiennes.  Je pense que c’est vraiment important de soutenir de toutes nos forces ces futurs  projets de loi car, en accordant la même protection aux Autochtones qu’aux autres citoyens de noter pays, nous continuons à défendre l’image de ces communautés si précieuses aux yeux de la diversité que nous avons la chance de connaitre ici, au Canada.

Senate Study of Harassment in the RCMP

21 May, 2013 | By Senator Grant Mitchell | The Senate Defence Committee is currently studying the topic of harassment, including sexual harassment, in the RCMP. While harassment in the force has been a longstanding issue, it was most recently brought to prominence by the courageous efforts of current members like Catherine Galliford and Krista Carle, as well as former members who have come forward with their stories. Many of these members have sustained grievous PTSD injuries as a result of their tumultuous experiences in the force.

Gender Identity

10 May, 2013 | By Senator Grant Mitchell | Bill C-279 is Private Member's Bill from the House of Commons introduced there by MP Randall Garrison, a member of the NDP. A Private Members’ Bill is a bill that is presented by any MP who is not in Cabinet. I am the Liberal lead in the Senate for C-279. I am very happy to have this role.

Aboriginal Collections at Canada’s Cultural Institutions

25 Apr, 2013 | By Senator Charlie Watt | Thank you for your letters on the recent changes to Canada’s cultural institutions. As Canada’s only Inuk Senator, I feel these changes at Library and Archives Canada, Parks Canada and the Museum of Civilization are of great concern to our Aboriginal population.

Conservatives and Balanced Budgets

19 Mar, 2013 | By Senator Grant Mitchell | I was struck by the observation that the Conservatives have not balanced a budget since 1896. And, while there is not really enough time with Conservative governments in Canada to compare, it is documented in the US that the stock market on average underperforms by 17 percentage points with Republican Presidents versus Democrat Presidents.

On International Women’s Day, Let’s Talk About Missing and Murdered Aboriginal Women

8 Mar, 2013 | By Senator Claudette Tardif | Each year on International Women’s Day, I find myself thinking of the women in Canada who still don’t have a voice, in spite of the progress our nation has made in gender equality. I think about the hundreds of missing and murdered Aboriginal women, whose stories are so rarely told, and whose strife garners so little public attention.
