Published by Senator Claudette Tardif on 27 October 2011

I would like to congratulate Senator Céline Hervieux-Payette, who has been awarded a World of Difference 100 Award from the International Alliance for Women (TIAW) for her efforts to promote the advancement of women in Canada. By granting the award to Senator Hervieux-Payette, the TIAW has not only chosen an excellent advocate for the advancement of women, but also a woman who has led by example in her own career and blazed a trail for many women to follow.

Climate Change Deniers

10 May, 2012 | By Senator Grant Mitchell | The Alberta election has yet again raised the incomprehensible denial of the science of climate change by people who should know better. During the election, Danielle Smith, the Leader of the Alberta Wildrose party said that the science of climate was not settled. Similarly, but in a different forum – the Canadian Senate – these speeches were given recently by Conservative Senators denying the science. I expect this position finds further support in the Conservative caucus.

Veterans Need Mental Health Help

9 May, 2012 | By Senator Grant Mitchell | As they should, the Conservatives go to great lengths to honour "the men and women in uniform who risk their lives to protect our democratic values." Now, we are seeing that many of these veterans are in desperate need of mental health services to help them deal with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.
