Lobbying world starting to wake up to the NDP
Robin MacLachlan is the face of a new breed in Ottawa: NDP corporate lobbyist. The former NDP staffer works the phones on behalf of 11 clients – including large companies such as Cisco Systems, Nalcor Energy and Nestlé Canada Inc. – and increasingly pops up on political talk shows as an NDP supporter. He prefers to say he’s in the “government relations” business. “The word lobbyist has taken on a bit of a pejorative character to it, so for that I may get the odd joke from my social democratic friends, but it’s all in good humour,” ...

NDP wants new civilian oversight for military
New Democratic Party MPs called Thursday for stronger civilian oversight of the Canadian military, saying the Afghan-detainees affair has shown the need for greater transparency and accountability by the Canadian Forces. They proposed the creation of a civilian office of inspector general, similar to positions in the United States and Australia. Citing Britain and Australia, they said the existing judge advocate general — the top legal person in the military — should be a civilian, not a member of the armed forces. The proposals were made at a news conference held by Ottawa MP ...

New Democrats alarmed by continued violence against Coptic Christians in Egypt The NDP’s Foreign Affairs Critic is very concerned by the violence against Coptic Christians in Egypt. “I strongly condemn the attacks on Egyptian Copts and their churches,” said Paul Dewar (Ottawa Centre). “All Egyptians must be able to express their beliefs peacefully and publicly, without fear or intimidation.” Dozens of churches have been looted, burned, or vandalized throughout Egypt over the past three months. This week, the violence spread into the capital city with a shooting at a church on the outskirts of Cairo that killed four people, including two young girls. “I urge the Canadian government to call directly on Egyptian authorities to ensure protection of the basic freedoms of all Egyptians, including the Coptic minority,” said Dewar. “Canada can also play a role in supporting the efforts of civil society groups in Egypt to strengthen intercultural understanding. The vast majority of Egyptians are united against the recent violence, and a small minority cann |

Defeat of NDP motion: Liberals and Conservatives don’t want Senate to change Official Opposition Democratic Reform Critic Craig Scott (Toronto–Danforth) made the following statement on the defeat of his motion: “The NDP has long called for Senate abolition. The Senate was intended to be a chamber of sober second thought. Instead, it is filled with Conservative and Liberal donors, fundraisers and other party operatives far removed from Canadian realities—who defeat or find other ways to block legislation that duly-elected Members of Parliament have studied and approved. Canadians are frustrated by the scandals emanating from that undemocratic body. Senators’ continued abuse of Canadians’ trust places the urgency of dismantling it in stark relief. While the Conservatives dragged their feet, the NDP developed practical steps to bring more accountability to the Senate immediately. As we move towards abolition, this NDP motion would have immediately made the Senate more answerable to Canadians. New Democrats were optimistic that the old-line parties would |
