Meeting with the European Parliament's Delegation for Relations with Canada
By videoconference
Canada-Europe Parliamentary Association (CAEU)
Damian Boeselager, a MEP from Germany, explained how the mission of the European Parliament’s Committee on Constitutional Affairs (AFCO) to the United States and Ottawa, at the beginning of November 2023, was very successful. The delegates met with the Conflict of Interest and Ethics Commissioner of Canada, among others, and found those meetings useful for their work on the creation of an European ethics body.
Regarding the EU-Canada Summit held on 23 and 24 November 2023, Ambassador Campbell discussed, among other things, Canada’s enhanced participation in Horizon Europe. She underscored Canada’s gratitude towards the EU Member States that helped last summer during the worst forest fire season in Canada, to date. Ambassador Campbell noted the commitment from Canada and the EU to work together to fight climate change and the EU’s decision to join the Global Carbon Pricing Challenge. She also noted Canada-EU collaboration in the new Digital Partnership to develop together a safer digital environment, including artificial intelligence, quantum technology and online platform governance. Ambassador Campbell mentioned that Canada and the EU were hitting record highs in bilateral trade, thanks to the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) and the Strategic Partnership Agreement. She also mentioned the continued collaboration to help Ukraine and expressed the wish to deepen the collaboration with the EU in Gaza. Mr. Burgsmueller agreed with Ambassador Campbell’s positive description of the Summit’s results. He highlighted the importance of the new Green Alliance and the possibilities for future collaboration on green energy, such as hydrogen.
Francesco Sorbara, President of CAEU, touched on the Green Alliance, the Digital Partnership, the enhanced Canadian participation in Horizon Europe, and the EU’s decision to join the Global Carbon Pricing Challenge. He also talked about the Joint Statement that stemmed from the Summit and the challenges confronting Canada and the EU, such as climate change, the war in Ukraine, the crisis in Gaza, and relations with China. Mr. Sorbara also thanked Mr. Moreno Sánchez for his work as Rapporteur on the implementation of CETA. Senator David Wells, Vice-President of CAEU, discussed the seven themes of the Joint Statement, the war in Ukraine and the crisis in Israel and Palestine. Peter Boehm touched on the war in Ukraine, noting President Zelensky’s presence in Washington, D.C., the conflict in Gaza, and insisted on the importance of Canada and the EU working together on priorities related to the cyber and digital world.
Mr. Boeselager argued that the European Parliament elections that will take place in June 2024 could be a chance for a new impetus, to try to solve certain issues such as visa liberalization. Ambassador Campbell noted that CETA offers the possibility to recognize each others’ credentials, when Canadian professionals wish to work in the EU and vice versa, and that only architects are recognized in that manner so far. Stéphane Bergeron noted the quality of the relations between the EU, Canada, and Quebec, and argued that the Covid-19 pandemic showed the importance of intensifying relations with partners that share the same values and objectives.
All agreed to continue their fruitful collaboration in the future and wished each other happy holidays.

The Standing Committee performs a wide range of both political and administrative tasks. It determines the rights and obligations of non-member delegations and evaluates applications for non-member status which, if approved, are forwarded for the consideration of the full Assembly. It coordinates the overall work of the Assembly: it must approve all planned meetings and provides guidance to the committees on the treatment of subjects to avoid duplication and ensure that the overall work of the Assembly is coordinated.

Senator McPhedran spoke about how the COVID-19 pandemic has reduced our chances of achieving the SDGs on schedule.

65th Session of the Commission on the Status of Women Side Event: “We Have Your Back” - Breaking the cycle from online harassment to threats to violence against women and girl leaders
By videoconference
Canadian Group of the Inter-Parliamentary Union (UIPU)
Presenters emphasized the gendered treatment of parliamentarians and other public figures online, noting that women face a higher degree of personal abuse and aggressive behaviour. As many presenters observed, beyond negatively impacting the lives of those who are targeted, online harassment undermines democracy and limits free speech by discouraging women and girls from being politically active.
The honourable Dr. Hedy Fry, PC, MP participated in a panel of parliamentarians sharing their experiences of, and opinions on, online harassment. In her remarks, Dr. Fry highlighted that the COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated the growing trend of gender-based harassment and violence and spoke about the actions Canada is taking to address the issue domestically and internationally. The honourable Donna Dasko, Senator, attended the event on behalf of the Canadian Group of the Inter-Parliamentary Union (UIPU).

Annual Parliamentary Meeting on the occasion of the 65th Session of the Commission on the Status of Women: “What will it take to reach parity in political participation in a post-Covid-19 world?
By videoconference
Canadian Group of the Inter-Parliamentary Union (UIPU)
Ms. McPherson was a featured panellist. In her remarks, she noted that Canada has made progress in increasing women’s political participation, particularly in terms of nearly achieving a critical mass of women parliamentarians in the House of Commons (29.5%) and gender parity in the Senate (49.5%). She also highlighted the growing number of women assuming leadership roles in public life, noting the appointment of the first female Minister of Finance as well as the prominent role played by women Chief Public Health Officers in guiding Canada’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic. She underscored the importance of improving the diversity of women’s representation by increasing the political opportunities and experiences offered to racialized, Indigenous and young women, as well as women with disabilities, especially at the level of political parties. She also emphasized the need for legislation and public policy measures related to financial support, access to child care, and the prevention of online harassment of women in politics to overcome barriers that otherwise discourage women from considering a political career. Ms. McPherson highlighted Canada’s role in supporting women globally through its Feminist International Assistance Policy, but also pointed out that Canadian contributions to development assistance has been in decline.
Senator McPhedran sought out best practices from the event’s participants regarding regulations or legislation in place or under development to address online harassment of women in politics, particularly in light of the impact of these experiences on their families and career choices. Ms. Vignola emphasized the role that education plays in building young girls’ and boys’ skills and self-belief to promote their confidence and interest in political careers.
Interventions from women parliamentarians from the African, Asia-Pacific, Arab, European and Latin American regions highlighted other aspects of the theme. Among other issues, participants reflected on how COVID-19 has undermined progress in women’s political participation and gender equality, as well as how it is driving change by exposing the importance of including women in decision-making positions and pandemic responses measures. Many participants also underscored the importance of data in tracking progress in women’s political participation and referenced the IPU’s annual report, Women in Parliament 2020: The year in review, as well as the map, Women in Politics: 2021, jointly produced by the IPU and UN Women, to document the rankings of countries around the world in this aspect.
The discussions at the Annual Parliamentary Meeting contribute to the deliberations of the CSW65 as well as the decisions of the 142nd Assembly of the IPU (May 2021), which will focus on overcoming the pandemic and ensuring post-COVID recovery. The IPU and UN Women will continue their deliberations in a series of co-organized Strategic Inter-parliamentary Dialogues scheduled to take place virtually on several dates in April on the theme, “Gender-responsive recovery post COVID-19.”

Webinar on Universal Health Coverage in times of COVID-19: Parliamentary best practices and challenges
By videoconference
Canadian Group of the Inter-Parliamentary Union (UIPU)
In her remarks, Ms. Blaney highlighted the key role played by Tommy Douglas in introducing UHC to Canada over fifty years ago, noting that it has become one of Canada’s most valued institutions. While emphasizing that many Canadians have benefitted from UHC, she also observed that challenges continue to exist, in particular for seniors, women, and racialized communities. She stated that these challenges have been notably exacerbated in Canada during the COVID-19 pandemic. As well, she underscored the role that the Canadian parliament is playing in considering options to expand Canada’s health system to include a national pharmacare program and in responding to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Mr. Spengemann acknowledged that, while Canada has a high global ranking regarding UHC, the system is not perfect. Among the challenges Canada faces as it strives to implement UHC more broadly is the country’s vast geography and the related difficulty of accessing remote communities. He highlighted the difficulties faced by Indigenous peoples as well as recommendations by national and international processes that call on their healthcare rights to be upheld. He also underscored the importance of national as well as global collaboration to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly where the development and distribution of vaccines are concerned. In this respect, he noted the contributions Canada has made to the global effort.
The webinar, which was attended by over 80 participants, was intended as an initial step in holding parliaments to account for the implementation of the IPU resolution, “Achieving universal health coverage by 2030: The role of parliaments in ensuring the right to health,” adopted at the 141st Assembly in October 2019.

Some foreign participants expressed their gratitude for Canadian parliamentarians’ efforts to support their countries during the pandemic. Others discussed the strong ties between Canada and the countries in the western hemisphere, and said that they look forward to future opportunities to gather and to get to know each other better, ideally in person.

Gender-Responsiveness and Disaster Resilience During the COVID-19 Crisis
By videoconference
Canadian Section of ParlAmericas (CPAM)
Gale Rigobert, St. Lucia’s Minister for Education, Innovation, Gender Relations and Sustainable Development, welcomed everyone to the meeting, following which Tonni Brodber, Acting Head of Office at the UN Women Multi-Country Office for the Caribbean, Andy Daniel, Speaker of St. Lucia’s House of Assembly, and Elizabeth Cabezas, President of ParlAmericas and a member of Ecuador’s National Assembly, provided opening remarks. Ms. Rigobert also moderated a session during which presentations on the topic of gender inequality in disaster and crisis situations were made by: Angie Dazé, Senior Policy Advisor at the International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD); Kyana Bowen, Programme Officer at the UN Women Multi-Country Office for the Caribbean; and Elizabeth Riley, Acting Executive Director of the Caribbean Disaster Emergency Management Agency (CDEMA).
Ms. Dazé explained that gender interacts with other factors – including age, disability, ethnicity and sexual orientation – to influence people's vulnerability to climate change and disasters. She outlined three components of a gender-responsive approach to building climate and disaster resilience: a recognition of gender differences in needs and capacities for managing climate and disaster risks; gender-equitable participation and influence in planning and decision-making processes; and gender-equitable access to financial servicese. Finally, Ms. Dazé presented some of the IISD's work relating to gender-responsiveness, climate change and disaster risk management.
Ms. Bowen described some ways in which disaster-preparedness planning and response can be gender-transformative, leading to lasting changes in gender norms. She noted that, when compared to most other parts of the world, the Caribbean is subject to more natural hazards, such as hurricanes, floods, sea level changes, drought and earthquakes. Ms. Bowen also discussed the ways in which planning for such hazards can be gender-transformative at the home, community, national and regional levels. Finally, she summarized some of the UN Women Multi-Country Office for the Caribbean's responses to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Ms. Riley outlined various types of hazards that are common in the Caribbean region, including earthquakes, storm surges, flooding and volcanic eruptions. She underscored that the number of Atlantic hurricanes in 2020 is already higher than normal, and that – with the additional challenges resulting from the pandemic – countries face a complex, multi-hazard scenario that will make disaster response more difficult. Ms. Riley explained that, as an agency of the Caribbean Community, CDEMA supports countries in their efforts to mobilize and coordinate disaster relief, among other things. She described the impacts of climate change in the Caribbean region, and highlighted a rise in the intensity of tropical storms and the damage they cause. Ms. Riley also emphasized the importance of resilience, and stated that CDEMA considers gender to be a cross-cutting theme in all of its work. Finally, she commented on the number of cases of COVID-19 in the region and discussed ways in which the Caribbean could deal with hurricane season in the context of the pandemic.
Following the presentations, several participants spoke briefly about some resources that parliamentarians may wish to use when addressing issues of gender equality, climate change and disaster risk reduction. Jack Hardcastle, Program Assistant at the Secretariat to the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association (CPA), noted a climate change toolkit designed specifically for small island states that the CPA has published.
Speaker Daniel presented two publications: COVID-19: An Analysis of the Legislative Agenda and the Centering of Gender Equality in Legislative Responses, co-authored by ParlAmericas and Directorio Legislativo; and the Parliamentary Protocol for Disaster Risk Reduction and Climate Change Adaptation, authored by ParlAmericas.
Massimiliano Tozzi, Project Manager at the United Nations Development Programme, commented on the project “Enabling Gender-Responsive Disaster Recovery, Climate and Environmental Resilience in the Caribbean (EnGenDER).” He said that the project aims to ensure that actions relating to climate change and disaster risk reduction are informed by an analysis of gender inequalities, and are designed to alleviate existing inequalities.
Following a discussion in which participants shared their countries’ best practices regarding gender-responsiveness and disaster resilience, Ms. Brodber and Chester Humphrey, Vice-President (Caribbean) of ParlAmericas’ Parliamentary Network for Gender Equality and President of Grenada’s Senate, gave closing remarks.

Mr. McGuinty highlighted the work of parliamentary committees that touch on broad aspects of human rights, as well as gender representation in parliament, the cabinet and heads of Canada’s missions abroad. Senator Ataullahjan, Mr. Spengemann and Ms. Khalid noted the importance of parliament and parliamentary human rights committees in enhancing their work related to the UPR, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on human rights, and the value of webinars such as this one to exchange knowledge and best practices about human rights at the national and international levels.

Build Back Better: A Green and Sustainable Economic Recovery - By videoconference - Canadian Section of ParlAmericas (CPAM)
Diego Paulsen, President of Chile’s Chamber of Deputies, and Elizabeth Cabezas, President of ParlAmericas and a member of Ecuador’s National Assembly, provided welcoming remarks. Ana Belén Marín, President of ParlAmericas’ PNCC and a member of Ecuador’s National Assembly, moderated a session at which the following individuals made presentations: Leo Heileman, Regional Director of the Latin America and the Caribbean Office of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP); Raúl Salazar, Head of the United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction Regional Office for the Americas and the Caribbean; and Brian O’Callaghan, a researcher at the University of Oxford’s Smith School for Enterprise and the Environment.
Mr. Heileman began by noting the high number of zoonotic diseases that have emerged in recent years, attributing their increased frequency to human impacts on the natural environment. In characterizing climate change as a larger crisis than COVID-19, he suggested that now is the time to "reactivate" the economy, generate “decent” work and try to meet the needs of the most vulnerable groups. Mr. Heileman outlined several areas that UNEP has identified as having the potential to help reactivate the economy while benefitting the climate. These include: rural, agricultural and ecosystem resilience; urban resilience; renewable energy and energy efficiency; and the transition to electric vehicles and e-mobility.
Mr. Salazar spoke about the double impact of COVID-19 and climate disasters – such as heavy rain, powerful tropical storms and droughts that are more intense, frequent and widespread – in numerous countries in the western hemisphere. In his view, governments must take an integrated, intersectional approach to risk management. He also described actions that could reduce vulnerability and enhance resilience in general, and outlined some roles for parliaments in applying disaster risk reduction approaches and supporting investments in climate change adaptation.
Mr. O’Callaghan summarized the results of his recent study on the possible benefits of a "clean" recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic; the study was based on a review of stimulus policies from the 2009 global financial crisis and a survey of more than 230 economists from the G20 countries. His study concluded that climate-related spending could enhance economic growth during the recovery from the pandemic. Mr. O’Callaghan emphasized the importance of using stimulus spending to achieve long-term climate objectives and not just short-term gross domestic product growth.
Paola Vega, Vice-President (Central America) of ParlAmericas’ PNCC Change and a member of Costa Rica’s Legislative Assembly, gave closing remarks.

More than 40 heads of national delegations and the elected members of the Bureau met on July 7, 2020 to a Standing Committee meeting. The Standing Committee meets three times a year to guide the work of the Assembly and would have met in Vancouver this week had the 2020 Annual Session not been cancelled due to the pandemic. Dr. Hedy Fry, C.P., M.P., Head of the Canadian OSCE PA Delegation and Special Representative on Gender Issues, noted Canada’s regret that it was not able to host the Annual Session this year. “As the OSCE PA convenes via videoconferencing today, we are reminded that we should have been gathering in Vancouver, Canada for the 2020 Annual Session from July 2 to 7,” Fry said. “The COVID-19 global pandemic has redefined how we, as parliamentarians, interact and communicate. Yet in a way, we have become more connected and our voices more relevant. As we continue to face new challenges and find new opportunities to fulfill the PA’s mission, I truly hope we, Canada, will be able to host a future Annual Session here in Vancouver.”

During the first panel, Global Affairs Canada (GAC) officials highlighted – among other topics – that the humanitarian situation in Venezuela was worsening and that, by June 2020, more than 5 million Venezuelans had left their home country and 7 million people within Venezuela needed humanitarian aid. They also noted the Government of Canada’s continued engagement with partners in Venezuela and internationally to find solutions to the situation in Venezuela, and the Government’s contribution of $27 million for humanitarian aid to support Venezuelan refugees and migrants.
During the second panel, Eduardo Stein – Joint Special Representative for Venezuelan refugees and migrants with the International Organization for Migration and the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees – mentioned that, of the 5.1 million Venezuelan refugees and migrants, 4.3 million are hosted in Latin American countries. According to him, during the COVID-19 pandemic, Venezuelan refugees and migrants have been highly vulnerable to discrimination and violence, and – as of June 2020 – about 70,000 Venezuelan refugees and migrants had returned to their home country. Ben Rowswell – President of the Canadian International Council and former Canadian Ambassador to Venezuela – stated that, although addressing the humanitarian situation is currently the most important issue in Venezuela, the international community must continue to request free and fair elections in that country in 2020.

By videoconference
Canadian Section of ParlAmericas (CPAM)
• Irwin LaRocque, Secretary General of the Caribbean Community, said that the response to the pandemic must take into account the effects of hurricane season in Caribbean countries.
• Diane Quarless, Director of the Economic Commission for the Latin American and Caribbean (ECLAC) Subregional Headquarters for the Caribbean, highlighted the economic impact of the pandemic in the Caribbean, particularly on the tourism industry, which is an important source of income for many countries in the region. She also explained that the heavy indebtedness of Caribbean states, as well as their difficulty in obtaining official development assistance, foreign direct investment or concessional lending, limits the financial resources available to these countries to respond to the crisis caused by the pandemic.
• Monika Queisser, Head of the Social Policy Division of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, gave a global overview of the economic impact of COVID-19. She also shared data showing that more women than men have lost their jobs due to the pandemic.
• Therese Turner-Jones, General Manager of the Country Department Caribbean Group of the Inter-American Development Bank (IADB), explained that the pandemic has had a significant impact on the lives of women in the Caribbean and that women must be part of the discussions and decisions involving the response to the pandemic.
During the question period, the Honourable Rosa Galvez, Senator, Vice-Chair of the Canadian Section of ParlAmericas, stressed that the way to measure economic recovery should not be based solely on GDP.

Legislating for Post COVID-19 Economic Recovery: Cooperative Dialogue Between Presiding Officers of Parliaments of the Americas
By videoconference
Canadian Section of ParlAmericas (CPAM)
Alicia Bárcena, Executive Secretary of the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC), gave the keynote address, highlighting how the pandemic has affected the economic situation in the Americas and Caribbean region and outlining proposals that could help mitigate its effects. She explained that ECLAC expects that, in 2020, the gross domestic product of the Americas and Caribbean region will fall by 5%, 12 million people will become unemployed, and the number of people living in poverty will increase by over 28 million in the region. She highlighted that certain population groups in the region are more likely to suffer as a result of the pandemic. For example, women make up the majority of workers in the informal labour force, they often have little in the way of savings, and they have to go outside the home to earn an income. In addition, many children and adolescents may not have access to online learning; it is estimated that only 20% have this option. Ms. Bárcena proposed the following options to respond to the economic crisis sparked by COVID-19 in the Americas and the Caribbean: establish an emergency basic income over a period of six months for people living in poverty; provide subsidies to companies based on the number of employees and the employer’s commitment to its employees; promote measures leading to a more egalitarian and environmentally sustainable economic structure; and implement universal healthcare. Ms. Bárcena highlighted the important role of parliaments in implementing these measures.
Following the keynote presentation, the presiding officers each presented the measures implemented in their countries to respond to the pandemic.
