Published by Senator James Cowan on 15 January 2009

Today I am delighted to welcome to the Senate Liberal caucus Senator Lillian Dyck of Saskatchewan.

Senator Dyck was appointed to the Senate by Prime Minister Martin in 2005 and has been sitting as an independent until now. She is a member of the Gordon's First Nation and has had a distinguished career as a neurochemist and medical researcher. Senator Dyck has been a strong advocate for aboriginal issues and the promotion of women in science. She is joining our team because she believes that Michael Ignatieff is the best person to lead Canada in this period of economic uncertainty. She will be a very active and valuable addition to our strong Opposition in the Senate and we are thrilled to have her with us.

A New Perspective on Cyberbullying

15 May, 2012 | By Senator Mobina Jaffer | Recently the Standing Senate Committee on Human Rights has been holding hearings on cyber-bullying. In preparation for last week’s hearing I reflected on the lessons our committee learned earlier and thought about the important messages that were conveyed by Professor Shaheen Shariff from McGill University and representatives from The Media Awareness Network and Stop-A-Bully.

Community Access Program (CAP)

14 May, 2012 | By Senator Jane Cordy | The CAP program has been in operation since 1995. The program ensures that all Canadians have equal access to the Internet. It has been operating, that is until a late evening announcement the night before the Easter long weekend by the Harper government that eliminated their support.

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.
