It obviously isn’t standard procedure for six senators to publish a joint position paper on what’s going wrong at the RCMP. Then again, fixing the RCMP is going to be essential to the security of Canadians. So it’s an issue worth working on – prorogation or no prorogation.
Canada should build a greener economy »
The level of Canadian policy support for green tech impacts our ability to attract new jobs and remain competitive in the global economy. There is a profound economic argument here. Our neighbors and trading partners are investing in green technology in a much more significant way than Canada and we need to do the same or fall behind. As we speed toward the Copenhagen round of climate change talks, Canada needs to make some decisive commitments. If we continue with our half-hearted action on climate change and green tech we miss huge economic opportunity to create a leading 21st century economy.
