Front-Line Registered Nurses, Registered Practical Nurses, and Health-care Professionals Hold a Peaceful Protest to Repeal Bill 124




Ontario Nurses' Association

WATERLOO, ON, June 29, 2020 /CNW/ - Hundreds of front-line registered nurses, registered practical nurses and health-care professionals will hold a peaceful protest today to encourage the repeal of Bill 124.

Health-care workers from Kitchener-Waterloo, Cambridge, Guelph and surrounding areas will be rallying from noon until 2 p.m. at Waterloo Town Square.

Bill 124 is wage-suppression legislation that was passed by the Ford government late last year. The Bill negatively impacts female-dominated professions including registered nurses, registered practical nurses, nurse practitioners, and health-care professionals. It limits wage increases to a maximum of one per cent total compensation each year for three years. It interferes with Charter rights to freely bargain, and it is gender biased.

ONA is the union representing more than 68,000 registered nurses and health-care professionals, as well as 18,000 nursing student affiliates, providing care in hospitals, long-term care facilities, public health, the community, clinics and industry.

WHAT:

Peaceful protest by nurses and health-care professionals regarding the repeal of Bill 124.


WHEN:

Monday, June 29 from 12 p.m. to 2 p.m.


WHERE:

Waterloo Town Square, 75 King Street South, Waterloo

Investing in Net-Zero Energy Residential Buildings Across Canada



Natural Resources Canada


OTTAWA, ON, June 24, 2020 /CNW/ - The Government of Canada is building a clean energy future that will strengthen the economy, create good jobs and support the natural resource sectors. This will be more important than ever as we prepare to reopen the economy and plan our recovery.


The Honourable Seamus O'Regan, Canada's Minister of Natural Resources, today announced an investment of over $2,445,000 toward the construction of energy-efficient residential buildings across Canada. The funding will support a project led by the Canadian Home Builders' Association (CHBA) that will enable seven housing builders to construct net-zero energy and net-zero energy ready residential buildings in British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan and Ontario.

Buildings and homes contribute approximately 17 percent of Canada's greenhouse gas emissions. Net-zero energy buildings are designed and constructed to produce at least as much energy as they consume on an annual basis.


The project is looking to demonstrate it is possible to construct net-zero energy ready housing with reduced cost and construction time, which will in turn inspire energy-efficient changes throughout Canada's construction industry. The investment is part of the government's commitment to fight climate change, advance our clean energy future, and achieve net-zero emissions by 2050. Federal funding is provided through Natural Resources Canada's Green Infrastructure program, which aims to accelerate the deployment and market entry of next-generation clean energy infrastructure in Canada.

By enhancing the pace and scale of clean technology, we significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Quotes


"More energy-efficient homes means less emissions in our atmosphere and more money in the pockets of Canadians. It's a win-win. That's how we'll get to net-zero emissions by 2050, with partners like the Canadian Home Builders' Association."


The Honourable Seamus O'Regan
Canada's Minister of Natural Resources


"To be able to give large numbers of Canadians the option of living in homes that are even more efficient than those built to the current building code, without negatively impacting affordability, we need to find new solutions, technologies and approaches. This partnership between the residential construction industry and the federal government to facilitate information-sharing and research among industry leaders who are voluntarily striving to build low-rise multi-family residential buildings to net-zero energy levels using pre-fabrication is an important step in getting us closer to that goal."

Métis Nation Launches Métis Veterans Legacy Program

Métis National Council 


I LIVE IN METIS NATION IN EDMONTON

OTTAWA, ON, June 29, 2020 /CNW/ - The Métis National Council (MNC) is pleased to announce the launch of the Métis Veterans Legacy Program. The Program is an integral part of the $30 million agreement signed by Canada and the Métis Nation on June 13, 2019 to honour Métis Veterans of the Second World War including the payment of compensation. The Agreement was accompanied by an apology from Canada for the wrongs Métis WWII Veterans experienced upon their return to Canada.

"Our Nation has waited 75 years for this. Canada's apology to our Veterans has resonated throughout the Métis Homeland with reverence," says MNC Veterans Minister David Chartrand who led efforts over two decades to seek justice for the Métis Veterans who served in WWII. "Those we have lost during our struggle for recognition can finally rest in peace, knowing they have been recognized and honoured for their contributions and sacrifice. Our Nation rejoices as we celebrate the surviving WWII Veterans and honour them as they receive their Recognition Payment."

The Métis Nation Veterans Legacy Program (MVLP) has two objectives:

To recognize, through individual Recognition Payments, Second World War Métis Veteran's pre- and post-war experiences that may have negatively impacted their demobilization success; and

To support commemorative initiatives through the Commemoration Program that promotes awareness and appreciation of our Métis Veterans' sacrifices and contributions throughout the Métis Nation and all of Canada.

As very few of the Second World War Métis Veterans are still living, Minister Chartrand has initiated Phase I of a campaign throughout the Métis Homeland to identify our living WWII Métis Veterans. During the past year, 23 WWII Métis Veterans have been presented with their $20,000 Recognition Payments, along with the heartfelt thanks of the Métis Nation, an apology from the Government of Canada, a ceremonial Métis Sash and a hand-beaded traditional Métis broach. The Program will support further efforts to identify all other Second World War Métis Veterans living and present them with their Recognition Payment as soon as possible.

In consideration of those Veterans who passed during the negotiation period with Canada, Phase II of the campaign was initially designed to compensate the spouses and common-law partners of deceased WWII Métis Veterans who passed after January 2016. In addition, should the spouse or common-law partner have also passed, the surviving children of the Veteran are entitled to receive equal portions of the $20,000 Recognition Payment.

After careful consideration and deliberations with community members and family members of our WWII Veterans, Minister Chartrand announced today that the policy is now inclusive of Recognition Payments being presented to all surviving spouses and common-law partners regardless of when their loved one passed. The policy remains the same that if the spouse or common-law partner has also passed, all living children of a WWII Métis Veteran who has passed after January 2016 are eligible to receive equal portions of the $20,000 Recognition Payment.

"The importance of family remains the essence of the Métis Nation," states Minister David Chartrand. "Our WWII Métis Veterans who have passed would want to take care of their families and ensure their future and prosperity. Phase II of the MVLP will accomplish this and help the families of our Veterans heal, and take comfort knowing their loved one is being honoured as a Hero of this country."

Phase III is the Commemoration Program which is expected to be launched in August of 2020. The intent of the Commemoration Program is to keep the Second World War Métis Veterans' legacy alive by promoting awareness and appreciation amongst Métis and the Canadian public of their achievements and sacrifices for generations to come. It will support the work that Métis communities have traditionally undertaken to honor our Veterans such as the erection of monuments and ceremonies as well as undertake new initiatives. Grassroots consultations with Métis Nation citizens will assist in identifying the scope and eligibility requirements of these initiatives as we further develop the Commemoration Program.

In April 2020, Métis National Council launched a new Métis Veterans on-line portal to support efforts to recognize Veterans and promote commemoration of their immense contributions and sacrifices. You can also use the portal to apply online for the Recognition Payment. (visit: www.metisveterans.ca)

"Our Heroes Today, Tomorrow, and Forever."

The MNC represents the Métis Nation in Canada at the national and international levels. The Métis Nation's homeland includes the 3 Prairie Provinces and extends into the contiguous parts of British Columbia, Ontario, the Northwest Territories and the United States. There are approximately 400,000 Métis Nation citizens in Canada, roughly a quarter of all Aboriginal peoples in the country.

Ontario Long term care home negligence class action

Koskie Minsky LLP

TORONTO, June 29, 2020 /CNW/ - Koskie Minsky LLP has commenced a class proceeding against the Province of Ontario in respect of the widespread illness, suffering and loss of life among long-term care home residents due to COVID-19.

The class action is brought on behalf of all individuals who reside or resided in long-term care homes in Ontario where one or more individuals tested positive for COVID-19, and their parents, spouses, siblings and children.

It is alleged that Ontario's longstanding systemic failures to properly regulate and oversee long-term care homes in Ontario. It is further alleged that the system was primed for rapid spread of a disease like COVID-19. In addition, it is alleged that Ontario failed to take steps to protect residents, and that the measures Ontario did implement were inadequate and amount to "too little too late".

Kirk Baert, a partner at Koskie Minsky, has stated: "This case concerns systemic issues that have plagued long-term care homes in Ontario for years. The Province has long been aware of these issues and has ignored them for far too long."

A Look Back at the First 100 Days of the COVID-19 Pandemic in Quebec: CMA Survey Shows Quebeckers Are Heeding Prevention Advice, While Mask Wearing Is the Least Followed Measure 

QUEBEC HAS AN ANTI MASK ANTI MUSLIM LAW

Français

Canadian Medical Association

MONTREAL, June 26, 2020 /CNW/ - The Canadian Medical Association (CMA) today presented the results of a Quebec survey indicating that preventive measures such as two-metre physical distancing, frequent handwashing, and coughing etiquette (coughing into one's elbow) have been widely adopted by Quebeckers since the pandemic began. However, mask wearing appears to be the least followed measure.

The survey, conducted in Quebec by L'Observateur from June 13 to 17, 2020, reveals that handwashing, physical distancing, and coughing etiquette have adoption rates of 70, 95, and 93% respectively. Mask wearing is the least followed measure: less than half of Quebeckers surveyed (42%) report wearing a mask regularly in public since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. Paradoxically, although 82% of respondents in the 18–34 age group believe there will be a second wave, only 27% report wearing a mask.

The survey also indicates that 87% of Quebeckers in the 18–34 age group do not consider themselves to be at risk of developing severe complications from COVID-19. Thus, it appears that the older they are, the more Quebeckers consider themselves "at risk" and the more they observe preventive measures.

The survey also shows that three out of four Quebeckers (74%) expect there will be a second wave of COVID-19 in the coming months.

"The message is clear. We must continue our efforts to protect our neighbours, our friends, and our families," said Dr. Abdo Shabah, emergency physician and AMC board member. "The reality today is that the COVID-19 pandemic is far from over and we must use every possible measure to avoid a second wave that could be even more devastating than the first."

The survey also dealt with tracing technologies. If a mobile app were available to facilitate community tracing of the virus, 42% of Quebeckers would download it.

Staff, youth put at risk of COVID-19 in custody centres
Ontario Public Service Employees Union (OPSEU)

TORONTO, June 26, 2020 /CNW/ - OPSEU is greatly concerned that six youth custody centres run by the Ontario government have been denied the ability to isolate or test new admissions for COVID-19.

OPSEU President Warren (Smokey) Thomas says it's hard to believe that the Ministry of Children, Community and Social Services is resisting such sensible safety precautions this deep into the pandemic.

"We're four months into this pandemic. Over 2,600 have died in Ontario alone. COVID-19 cases are on the rise among young people. What's it going to take to get the ministry to take action to protect our youth and the workers who care for them? More fatalities?"

OPSEU represents the workers who watch youth serving sentences or on remand orders while awaiting trial. For weeks the union has been trying to get ministry officials to agree to testing.

"Our members have suggested several options to limit the possibility of COVID-19 entering one of our facilities, and we've offered to work with the employer to develop a protocol," said Youth Justice Divisional Health and Safety Co-Chair Tom Gibson. "Unfortunately, the employer has failed to respond in any fashion for over a month."

In contrast, the province's adult correctional facilities, as well as many privately run transfer payment youth facilities, have been using full protections and quarantining new admissions for many weeks. Gibson says youth facilities face the same difficulties as adult facilities with setting and maintaining physical distancing. He says there are alarming reports of spikes in the number of youth now testing positive for COVID-19.

"Preventing the disease at the point of admission is key. Our workers face the same dilemmas that led to many of the long-term care facility outbreaks. Pretending there's no problem won't make it go away."

OPSEU First Vice-President/Treasurer Eduardo (Eddy) Almeida, who is a correctional officer, says Minister Todd Smith must intervene with his officials to ensure safety comes first.

"Mr. Smith, your youth justice workers are pleading with ministry managers to stop gambling with the lives of staff and vulnerable youth," said Almeida. "It's time to put test-and-isolate protocols in place at all youth facilities before it's too late."

OPSEU stands with vulnerable migrant workers

Ontario Public Service Employees Union (OPSEU)


TORONTO, June 24, 2020 /CNW/ - Warren (Smokey) Thomas, President of OPSEU, and OPSEU First Vice-President/Treasurer Eduardo (Eddy) Almeida have issued the following statement:

One of the great tragedies of the COVID-19 pandemic is how it has spread through migrant workers who have come to Ontario to do temporary, seasonal jobs on farms and in greenhouses. Approximately 20,000 migrant workers come to Ontario each year, mainly from Mexico, Guatemala and the Caribbean.

The spread is severe enough that parts of southwest Ontario remain under restrictions that have been already lifted in the rest of the province. There are media reports that some 470 farm workers have tested positive for COVID-19 in the Windsor-Essex region alone. Tragically, three of these workers have died.

But it's hard to tell the full extent of the spread among the approximately 8,000 migrant workers who have arrived. Only 750 of them have been tested. Some mobile testing sites in Ontario had to close due to a lack of workers coming in, probably because many of them are afraid of losing their precarious jobs if they are diagnosed with COVID-19.

Migrant workers have few rights and don't have the benefits like paid sick leave that come from being in a strong union.

OPSEU has been working with the group Justicia for Migrant Workers for years to try to educate Ontarians about the working conditions of migrant workers.

This pandemic has shown us how vulnerable these workers are and how little governments have done to protect them.

The labour movement needs to be an even stronger voice in calling for better working conditions for these workers who put food on our tables.

We at OPSEU stand in solidarity with migrant workers and say it's time they started to get the benefits and rights the rest of us take for granted.

CMG calls for funding to convert temporary employees at CBC to full-time
Canadian Media Guild

TORONTO, June 24, 2020 /CNW/ - CMG is encouraged by a positive meeting with Heritage Minister Steven Guilbeault where CMG CBC/Radio-Canada Branch president Kim Trynacity, asked the minister for targeted funding to convert 50% of temporary/precarious workers at CBC to full-time staff.

"Many of the temporary employees are Black, Indigenous and People of Colour," Trynacity told the minister. "Converting so many temps to full-time will make the corporation more reflective of Canada, and go a long way to repairing a damaged workplace culture that must work to address issues of racism at CBC/Radio-Canada."

Since the brutal killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis, a groundswell of protest has emerged with rallies being held across the world to demand the end to systemic racism against Black, Indigenous and People of Colour. Within CBC/Radio Canada, employees have called for real change at all levels of the corporation, from decision-making, to the stories we cover and how we cover them, as well as equity and respect for BIPOC workers at the public broadcaster.

Several CMG members have spoken publicly about their experiences and the problems they've encountered in the crown corporation .

More than 1,200 employees, representing approximately 25% of the workforce at CBC/Radio-Canada are temporary workers who lack job security, and any certainty about future work. Many of these are generally younger workers from diverse backgrounds.


While not promising funding, Guilbeault assured Trynacity, and CWA-Canada President Martin O'Hanlon, that addressing issues of racism across Canada is a priority.

During the 40-minute meeting, CMG also stressed the need for a resumption of all CBC regional television news programming, which in some locations remain abbreviated during the pandemic. The union also sought assurance that future CBC/Radio Canada funding will be linked to a moratorium on job cuts. Since 2008, there have been continuous job cuts at the public broadcaster resulting in drops in employment, diversity, and news programming, as well as increased reliance on temporary workers.

Trynacity asked that public funding for CBC/Radio-Canada be increased to $50 per capita in the next budget to help stabilize the country's largest news service and major cultural institution at this critical time. Overall federal funding has declined significantly over the years due in part to unfunded inflation, and compares poorly to the levels of funding for public service media in other countries.

NEWS PROVIDED BY Unifor


OTTAWA, ON, June 24, 2020 /CNW/ - Unifor calls on governments to #BuildBackBetter and reveal a detailed plan to rebuild the economy in a virtual news conference live on Facebook.

"Tomorrow's economy cannot look like the one that we left behind, where essential workers could barely get by on low wages, could not access sick pay, and where the social safety net failed them," said Jerry Dias, Unifor National President. "Eventually this crisis will end and we want to ensure that a more fair, inclusive, and resilient economy takes shape on the other side."

Built on the principles of economic justice, the new recovery plan is based on consultation with rank-and-file members and includes dozens of recommendations targeting all levels of government.

The plan organizes policy recommendations into five themes:
Build an income security system that is accessible
Build sustainable green jobs and decarbonization
Build critical physical and social infrastructure
Rebuild domestic industrial capacity
Set strong, enforceable conditions on corporate support packages

"The steps that governments take in the coming months and years will define workers' well-being and progress for a generation," said Renaud Gagné, Unifor Quebec Director. "It is vital that we get it right, and rebuild the economy not to what it once was, but to an economy that meets people's needs no matter the crisis."

Visit buildbackbetter.unifor.org to read the recommendations and download the Road Map for a Fair, Inclusive and Resilient Economic Recovery.

SEIU Healthcare Renews our Demand for a Judicial Inquiry After the Breaking News from Brian Lilley

The Ford government response leaves workers and families with more questions than answers

RICHMOND HILL, ON, June 24, 2020 /CNW/ - SEIU Healthcare, the union that represents over 60,000 frontline healthcare workers in Ontario, is renewing our demand for a judicial inquiry into the long-term care scandal after breaking news reveals how the Doug Ford government rejected funding requests as recently as February, after the first case of COVID-19 hit the province.

STATEMENT FROM SEIU HEALTHCARE PRESIDENT, SHARLEEN STEWART:

"It's unconscionable to think that senior ministers in Ontario's government actually rejected proposals for urgent funding into long-term care after the first case of COVID-19 had already hit the province. Unfortunately, the Ford government response to this story leaves Ontarians with more questions than answers. That's why Premier Ford must commit to nothing less than a full judicial inquiry with both Ministers Fullerton and Bethlenfalvy agreeing to testify about what they know, under oath. The 1800 families who needlessly lost loved ones—residents and workers—deserve justice for this scandal."

SEIU Healthcare represents more than 60,000 healthcare and community service workers across Ontario. The union's members work in hospitals, homecare, nursing and retirement homes, and community services throughout the province. www.seiuhealthcare.ca
