SUMMARY:Panel Presentation: Canada's New Posture in the International Arena
DESCRIPTION:WHEN: Thursday\, 09 November 2017 from 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM \nWHERE: Bruyère Hospital Auditorium – 43 Bruyere St.\, Ottawa\, ON \nThe Trudeau Government’s claim that “Canada is back” in the international arena is highly contestable. The government continues to support defence and trade policies initiated by the Harper government as well as energy policies inconsistent with the Paris Accord. There is more similarity with the Harper Government’s foreign policy than with the peacebuilding and development initiatives associated with Lester Pearson and Pierre Trudeau. \nOur foreign policy panel will engage in a wide-ranging debate\, to identify strengths and weaknesses\, and areas of coherence or inconsistency\, and to make recommendations on whether and how Canada’s foreign policy can actually be returned to its traditional posture of a more progressive player in global peacekeeping and sustainable development. \nEvent background PDF\, Click Here\n*****\nModerator: \n\nFerry de Kerckhove\, Honorary Senior Fellow and part time professor at the University of Ottawa and at Glendon College\, Toronto /Professionnel en residence honoraire et professeur à temps partiel à l’Université d’Ottawa et au Collège Glendon de l’Université York à Toronto\n\nPanelists: \n\nPeggy Mason\, Former Canadian Ambassador for Disarmament\, President of the Rideau Institute\nJulia Sanchez\, President-CEO of the Canadian Council of International Co-operation (CCIC)\nAngella MacEwen\, Senior Economist\, Canadian Labour Congress and Policy Fellow\, Broadbent Institute\n\n*Bios for Moderator and Panelists\, Click Here \n  \nOnline Registration \nTickets will also be available at the door\n\nGeneral Admission – $15.00\nStudent/Unwaged – $5.00

Yet few governments\, with the notable exception of the US\, are trying very hard to find out how much is lost to fraud between donor and victim. Each party in the process has a reason for avoiding publicity: humanitarian organizations do not want to scare off donors; governments do not want to admit taxpayers’ funds have gone astray; victims rarely have a voice; and fraudsters are more than happy to avoid the spotlight. \nYet if no one speaks publicly about the problem\, there will be no pressure to grapple with it. Technology is the fraudster’s friend\, yet it might also lead to a solution if it gives the most important people in the aid pipeline – the victims – the ability to speak out about whether they received what they were promised. Ultimately the largest donors and international organizations will have to get over their reluctance to admit there is a problem and co-ordinate their efforts to reduce disaster fraud. \nSee background PDF\, Click Here  \n  \nMadelaine Drohan is the Canada correspondent for The Economist. For the last 40 years\, she has covered business and politics in Canada\, Europe\, Africa and Asia. In 2016\, she became a senior fellow at the Graduate School of Public and International Affairs at the University of Ottawa. In 2015-2016 she was the Prime Ministers of Canada fellow at the Public Policy Forum. \nShe is the author of The 9 Habits of Highly Successful Resource Economies: Lessons for Canada\, a research report that she wrote in 2012 for the Canadian International Council. \n\n
