Ontario's McGuinty urged to 'do the right thing' for immigrant children
There have been a number of initiatives in the last ten years (and previously) to address the patchwork of services and supports for families with young children in Ontario.
In the Harris/Eves government, the Ontario Early Years Centres were an attempt to respond to the Mustard/McCain report, The Early Years Study which called for an early child development and parenting model of service, to serve as Tier 1 entry to the formal school system. (See Ontario Early Years: A Very Brief History, at the Health Nexus Sante blog).
The Best Start initiative was launched by the next government, Premier Dalton McGuinty's Liberals, and saw communities collaborating in Best Start Networks, working to bring services and supports together in 'hubs' for children from birth to age six.
This summer, The Premier's early learning advisor, Dr Charles Pascal was asked to look at how to best prepare young children to succeed in school and released With Our Best Future in Mind. Pascals' report calls for many of the same options of previous investigations but with clear – and implementable – steps.
For immigrant children and families, the system proposed by Pascal are especially important. Pascal envisions a system of child- and family-centred schools, with access to information, resources, supports and services for parents and caregivers and full-day kindergarten and early learning and child care for children. Pascal's system builds upon the work – and success of both the Ontario Early Years Centres and the Best Start Networks.
As the province with the largest number of immigrant families with young children, Premier McGuinty would serve immigrant families very well in adopting the plan. I cannot think of a better way to welcome newcomer children and families to their new communities than by having a school act as the central point of entry into the myriad of social, health and educational services. Such community-based school centres (staffed by kindergarten teachers and Early Childhood Educators and other family support workers) will have expertise to assist the integration of newcomer families with young children into their communities.
For parents with existing resources (time, funds, language skills and peer support and/or extended family members to help), it is difficult enough to navigate the system. Imagine not having the language, the networks, or knowing where to go to get this kind of information. That is the reality for immigrant families. The school – an institution universally recognized as the centre of a community – is the best place to act as a central (and a multiple-) point of entry to the world of health, educational and support services for immigrant families with young children.
{see June 16/09 post for more on how the Pascal plan addresses early child diversity}

Stateless children
Refugees International presents Futures Denied: Statelessness among infants, children and youth. According to tthe childtrafficking.com listserv, some 11-12 million children, "though born and raised in their parents country of habitual residence" are stateless or without effective nationality.
Stateless was a concern raised when new citizenship policy, impacting first generation of international adoptees, was introduced by the federal government in the Spring of 2009. The new regulations offered an option to grant immediate Canadian citizenship to adopted children, but put limits or conditions on any children they might have outside of Canada. The rationale for the policy change was to provide an additional option for adoptive parents who were pursuing citizenship status for adopted children through the naturalization process. For more info, including to external links, see the posts at immigrantchildren.ca and chidinterrupted.ca.
Feds fund HIPPY to integrate immigrant children
In March '09, TVO and HIPPY (Home Instruction for Parents of Preschool Youngsters) to deliver literacy programming, targeted to newcomer children and families. This week, the federal government has funded HIPPY to develop and deliver "culturally sensitive programs" for immigrant children.
The funding (around $3M from Citizenship and Immigration Canada and $300,000 from Human Resources and Skills Development) will be used to "increase Canadian content" in the HIPPY curriculum and expand programs across Canada.
The Federal government might consider increasing funding to the child care portion of their own LINC program (Language Instruction for Newcomers to Canada). LINC provides language training and settlement support to adults, and provides what's called "childminding" for children of LINC students. The childminders, many of whom are Early Childhood Educators, and therefore trained in promoting language and literacy development (including having a unique understanding of the importance of retaining the home language while learning a new language) are among the first points of contact to Canadian society for immigrant children and are well positioned to work with LINC instructors, who work with parents. Now, that's a partnership that could support integration.
Deportation as immigration policy: A call for papers
Deportation and the Development of Citizenship is the name of the conference being co-sponsored by the Centre on Policy, Migration and Society (COMPAS). The conference will be held Dec 11-12/09 in Oxford.
Papers are sought that address several themes, including: Who are the main subjects of deportation power and how have they changed over time as a result of political and social concerns? In what ways does subjection to deportation power map on to patterns of race, gender, and age?
Deadline for abstracts of 300 words, and a short biographical outline or CV are due by Sept 20/09 and should be sent to Dr Emanuela Paoletti, at emanuela.paoletti@qeh.ox.ac.uk. Prospective paper givers will be informed if their paper has been accepted by 30 September 2009.

"On Their Own": Unaccompanied children conference
On Their Own: Protecting the Rights of Immigrant Children is the theme of this year's annual conference hosted by the (US-based) National Center for Refugee and Immigrant Children.
The conference will be held Oct 7-9/09 in Washington DC and will attract advocates from the legal sector as well as participants from the wider non-profit sector, including policy makers, academics and researchers. The conference seeks to examine and challenge current practices and policies and develop best practices for supporting unaccompanied children.

Francophone female refugees separated from their children, a study
The Ontario Metropolis Centre of Excellence for Research in Immigration Studies (CERIS) has released its latest Policy Matters issue. The Sept 2009 edition is a summary of a report entitled An Analysis of the challenges faced by francophone female refugees living in Ontario and separated from their chilren.
Authors Emile Greon, Michele Kerist, and Francosie Magunira examine the challenges faced by Francophone refugee mothers in Ontario who are separated from their children. The authors make several recommendations for policy change, including:
1) Allow children and spouses to join women refugee claimants, and have their paperwork process from within Canada.
2) Improve the availability of legal information about family reunification in French.
3) Ease the bureaucratic process.
4) Create positions for case workers to follow individual cases and track delays.
5) Enact an "action plan" to systematically present the findings to all stakeholders within one year.
The study was funded by the Ontario Movement for Francophone Immigrant Women.

Competition Bureau Fee and Service Standards Policy
The services and regulatory processes for which fees apply
Fees and service standards
Review mechanisms
The Competition Bureau (the Bureau) is an independent law enforcement agency that ensures all Canadians enjoy the benefits of a competitive economy, low prices, product choices, and quality service. It oversees the administration and enforcement of the Competition Act (Act), the Consumer Packaging and Labelling Act , the Textile Labelling Act , and the Precious Metals Marking Act .
In pursuing its mandate, the Bureau strives to balance a number of objectives. These include examining cases that deal with important economic issues, investigating illegal activity, and promoting competition and conformity with the Act through an information and education program.
The Bureau's Fee and Service Standards Policy (the Policy) is consistent with the government's overall objective of fairness, which seeks to ensure that those who benefit most from a service should pay for it, rather than have all Canadians pay through general taxation. The Policy also recognizes the "public good" component related to the activities covered by the Policy. These fees have been developed within this framework and in consideration of other government and Bureau policy objectives.
This Policy amends and replaces the Bureau's Fee Charging Policy approved by the Minister of Industry on November 1, 1997.
For further information related to this Policy, consult the Bureau's Fee and Service Standards Handbook.
Merger notification
Pursuant to Part IX of the Act, parties proposing a merger transaction that meets specific thresholds, must, before completing the transaction, notify the Commissioner of Competition (the Commissioner) and supply the Commissioner with information as specified in the Act and the Notifiable Transactions Regulations. The transaction cannot be completed before the expiration of a certain period Footnote 1 unless the Commissioner provides prior notification to the person or persons that he does not intend to make an application to the Competition Tribunal.
Advance ruling certificates
Under section 102 of the Act, where the Commissioner is satisfied by a party or parties to a proposed transaction that he would not have sufficient grounds to apply to the Competition Tribunal for an order under section 92, the Commissioner may issue an Advance Ruling Certificate (ARC) in respect of a proposed transaction.
Written opinions
Pursuant to its Program of Compliance, the Bureau continues to promote and ensure compliance with the provisions of the Act through a variety of mechanisms including a program of communications and education Footnote 2 and the use of specific instruments such as written opinions.
Since 1997, stakeholders have requested that written opinions, provided within the framework of the former Fee Charging Policy, be legally binding. With the enactment of Bill C‑23, now chapter 16 of the Statutes of Canada 2002, section 124.1 of the Act provides that the Commissioner may issue legally binding written opinions. If in doubt about a proposed course of action, any person may apply to the Commissioner, with supporting information, for an opinion on whether a proposed conduct or practice would raise an issue under the Act. Pursuant to section 124.1 Footnote 3 of the Act, written opinions are binding on the Commissioner if all the material facts have been submitted and these facts are accurate. Written opinions remain binding so long as the material facts remain substantially unchanged and the conduct or practice is carried out substantially as proposed.
The quality of the opinion is directly related to the amount and quality of relevant information provided to the Bureau by the requester. Opinions will be prepared based on the information provided and taking into account relevant previous jurisprudence and opinions, Bureau knowledge and the stated policies of the Commissioner. The Bureau will not undertake third party contacts in the preparation of written opinions. The Commissioner may exercise his discretion to not provide an opinion.
The Bureau will continue to provide informal oral advice in instances where the issues are not complex and the request takes little or no research on the part of Bureau staff. The response will be based on the oral request by the applicant, the stated policies of the Commissioner, previous experience, and knowledge. This type of oral advice typically comprises a 10 to 15 minute telephone call and will not be binding on the Commissioner.
To promote compliance with, and foster transparency in the administration and enforcement of the Act, the Bureau will publish written opinions, or summaries thereof, that add to the understanding of how the law is administered or where a new issue or sector of the economy is being examined. With the consent of the requesting parties, opinions will be published in their entirety. Where consent is not obtained, the Bureau will edit the opinion to remove company names and/or produce a summary of the opinion that protects identities and commercially sensitive information.
Fees for photocopies apply to requests for copying services made to the Bureau, including requests for copies of documents seized under warrants issued pursuant to section 15 of the Act that have not been returned to the parties from whom they were seized. Bureau policy does provide that parties subject to a search may make copies of essential working documents prior to their removal from the premises.
In developing this proposal, consideration has been given to the comments received during the June 2001 Merger Forum as well as during meetings organized by the Bureau's Merger Notification Unit. From August to October 2002, stakeholders were invited to comment on the consultation paper published in Part I of the Canada Gazette and were later invited to participate in consultation fora in December 2002. The comments received through these consultations were also considered and are reflected in this Policy. Those consulted included members of the legal and business communities as well as representatives of a number of organizations including consumer associations.
Based on the comments received, the Bureau has maintained the current service standards for merger review. Footnote 4 With respect to written opinions, the Bureau has reviewed its experience under the Fee Charging Policy and the impact of the binding nature of opinions issued under section 124.1. A number of service standards are similar to those under the previous policy while some have been extended to reflect the expected impact to workload of making written opinions binding on the Commissioner.
Having considered the comments received, the bureau has revised its fee schedule for written opinions and maintained the original fee proposal for merger review.
The Minister of Industry, pursuant to sections 18, 19, and 20 of the Department of Industry Act , hereby fixes the following fees, to become effective on April 1, 2003.
Service or Regulatory Process
Service Standard*
*Service Standards represent the maximum amount of time within which the Bureau will provide a response.

When both an ARC and merger notification are filed, only the fee for the ARC applies. The parties are free to make their own arrangements as to payment, however the Bureau considers all notifying parties as jointly and severally liable.
Fees for written opinions are to be submitted at the same time the request is made. The person making the request is responsible for payment.
Only one fee applies for a written opinion that might involve the review of multiple sections of the Act. The Bureau will continue to charge $50 to charitable organizations; other government organizations must pay the full fee. When uncertain about making a request, parties are encouraged to consult the Handbook and/or contact the Bureau's Information Centre at 1‑800‑348‑5358.
Upon written request, refunds will be provided in the following circumstances:
In the case of a merger notification filing, where the parties withdraw the transaction within two days of filing;
In the case of a request for an ARC, if the request is withdrawn within two days of application and the certificate has not been issued;
Where both an ARC request and merger notification filing are submitted (perhaps on separate days) for one transaction, the two‑day refund period applies to the first filing or request submitted;
In the case of written opinions, if the request is withdrawn within two days of filing;
Where the Commissioner exercises his discretion to not provide a written opinion within 14 days of receiving the request;
In the case of an over‑payment.
Due to the short service standards for non‑complex written opinions concerning sections 52, 52.1, 53, 54, 55, 55.1, 74.01(1)(a), 74.01(1)(c), 74.01(2), 74.01(3), 74.02, 74.04, 74.05, 74.06 of the Act, refunds will not be provided.
Payments may be made by VISA, MasterCard, wire transfersFootnote 7 or by cheque payable to the Receiver General for Canada. Written opinion requests, and photocopying services are subject to the GST; Québec residents add Québec sales tax, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, British Columbia add provincial sales tax and Newfoundland, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island and Ontario residents add the HST.
Parties requesting the services outlined in this document or who are subject to merger notification requirements are invited to provide feedback to the Bureau by completing the brief evaluation cards enclosed with each response. These cards are mailed to the Bureau's Compliance and Operations Branch who prepares monthly reports for the respective branches. Parties who wish to remain anonymous can omit providing their names when completing the cards. In order to maintain the respondent's anonymity, the branches responsible for providing these services and statutory requirements do not have access to the completed feedback cards.
Additionally, the Bureau will continue to conduct fora every two years to review performance, service levels, and any concerns voiced by stakeholders.
Complaints regarding services and regulatory processes for which fees and service standards apply can be directed to the Deputy Commissioner of Competition, Compliance and Operations Branch. The Deputy Commissioner will examine the matter and provide the subsequent feedback to the complainant. The Compliance and Operations Branch is not involved in providing the services outlined in this document or in conducting merger review. As such, the Deputy Commissioner remains independent and objective when resolving any complaints.
Following is the contact information for the Deputy Commissioner of Competition, Compliance and Operations Branch:

Return to footnote 1
Additional information is available in the Competition Bureau's Program of Compliance publication.
Section 124.1 of the Competition Act as enacted by clause 15 of Chapter 16, S.C.2002, states that:
Any person may apply to the Commissioner, with supporting information, for an opinion on the applicability of any provision of this Act or the regulations to conduct or a practice that the applicant proposes to engage in, and the Commissioner may provide a written opinion for the applicant's guidance.
If all the material facts have been submitted by or on behalf of an applicant for an opinion and they are accurate, a written opinion provided under this section is binding on the Commissioner. It remains binding for so long as the material facts on which the opinion was based remain substantially unchanged and the conduct or practice is carried out substantially as proposed.

E&P growth spurs recruitment
The oil and gas industry's "great crew change" has been a looming challenge for years. As baby boomers reach retirement, the industry is adopting new methods to recruit and attract young people to engineering and science-based degrees with applications in the oil and gas industry.

Improving perception of industry is key to attracting talent
Theoil and gas industry's "great crew change" has been a looming challenge for years. As many baby boomers reach retirement, fewer young people earn engineering and science-based degrees or find the oil and gas industry attractive and rewarding. While the global demand for oil and gas continues to increase, so does the shortage of technical (engineering, geoscience, etc.) skills in the industry.
A recent report by Practicus Ltd.,Skills and Capability Challenges Facing Upstream, points out that the skills shortage needs to be addressed from many angles – industry, government, education, and training providers – to make a difference in the mid- to long-term. "Growing ties with learning institutions, becoming more active in schools and universities, and improving the perception and understanding of the industry among upcoming talent are key parts of the solution to attracting the next generation," the report says.

Academia and the industry
The Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement (BSEE) has announced a $5-million, five-year agreement to establish the Ocean Energy Safety Institute, in partnership with Texas A&M University, the University of Texas at Austin, and the University of Houston. It will provide a forum for dialogue, shared learning, and cooperative research among academia, government, industry, and other non-government organizations in offshore-related technologies and activities to help ensure environmentally safe and responsible offshore operations. The Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center within the Texas A&M Engineering Experimental Station will manage the institute.
BSEE Director Brian Salerno said: "The institute will develop a program of research, technical assistance, and education that serves as a center of expertise in offshore oil and gas exploration, development and production technology, including frontier areas, such as high-temperature/high-pressure reservoirs, deepwater, and Arctic exploration and development."
The University of Texas at Austin Department of Petroleum and Geosystems Engineering has opened three new laboratories to advance energy research and transform how students learn about drilling for oil and gas. The three labs include: the Real-Time Operations Center, the Drilling Automation Lab, and the Zonal Isolation Lab. Baker Hughes donated $1.7 million to the university.
The Bob L. Herd Department of Petroleum Engineering at Texas Tech University recently established a $22.8-million research facility. The 42,000-sq ft (3,900-sq m) Terry Fuller Petroleum Engineering Research Building features the following laboratories, teaching, and research areas:
Anadarko Unconventional Technology Center
Apache Upstream Research Center
Chevron Reservoir and Drilling Simulation Center
Michael Herd Fracturing and Production Laboratory
LINN Energy Student Lounge
Oxy Enhanced Oil Recovery Laboratory
Pioneer Natural Resources Pressure Volume Temperature Laboratory.
The University of Aberdeen in the UK has established a new institute of energy to create a global center of energy research, industry collaboration, and education. The Aberdeen Institute of Energy will provide a multi-disciplinary environment to respond to industry challenges. Academic oil and gas activity will be drawn together from many disciplines involving physical, environmental and social scientists, engineers, economists, and lawyers. The university says every stage of the oil and gas life cycle will be covered, from demand through exploration, production and generation, distribution and consumption, to environmental impact, and the choices and behaviors that influence demand.
Scotland's First Minister Alex Salmond has pledged £10.6 million ($17.7 million) in funding for a new Oil and Gas Innovation Centre (OGIC). Based in Aberdeen, this will bring academic and private sector groups to collaborate on new technologies to increase production and reduce costs. The center will link more than 2,300 oil and gas operator and service companies to 12 Scottish universities with more than 450 academic staff and researchers.
The new body aims to attract more than £26 million ($43.3 million) of investments from other sources, including industry external funding agencies, within its first five years. Academic partners include Heriot-Watt University, University of Aberdeen, University of Strathclyde, University of Abertay, University of Dundee, University of Edinburgh, University of Glasgow, University of the Highlands and Islands, Robert Gordon University, University of St Andrews, Glasgow Caledonian University, and University of the West of Scotland.
Robert Gordon University (RGU) and Russian oilfield educational and engineering services company OILTEAM have formed a partnership worth more than £1.2 million ($2 million) to train the next generation ofRussia's offshore professionals. OILTEAM's Academy and RGU will deliver a master's of science degree in offshore oil and gas engineering in the Black Sea town of Sochi. Targeting graduates as well as employees of oil and gas majors, the one-year program aims to equip specialists with backgrounds in land-based E&P, with a comprehensive overview of the challenges, technologies, and know-how from the world's leading offshore theaters.
Curtin University in Perth, Australia, is the first university in Australia and New Zealand to offer a master's degree in subsea engineering. The two-year program will train students in the latest technologies involving offshore oil and gas production.
Seven universities have launched an initiative to establish worldwide standards forsubsea engineering education. The Global Subsea University Alliance consists of the University of Houston (US), Curtin University (Australia), Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (Brazil), the National University of Singapore, the University of Aberdeen (Scotland), the University of Bergen (Norway), and the University of Stavanger (Norway). The alliance seeks to establish a global subsea curriculum in coordination with companies such as Cameron and FMC Technologies.
In August 2013, the Houston (Texas) Independent School District opened the nation's first school focused on science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. The Energy Institute High School is a magnet program where students focus on geosciences, alternative energy, or offshore technology.

As the competition for talent escalates, the industry will diversify to fill the talent gap.
NES Global Talent expects the oil and gas industry will focus more on recruiting women. The company's recent report,Attracting and retaining women in oil and gas engineering – a survey examining the gender talent gap, says that to attract and retain female workers, the industry needs to improve its ability to provide mentorships, recognize workers equally, and highlight the benefits of studying science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM).
The 2013 Economic and Statistics Administration Report says women comprise half of the US workforce, but hold less than 25% of STEM jobs and 14% of engineering positions.
According to the first "Global Diversity and Inclusion Report," career prospects for women in the oil and gas industry have improved in recent years, and more women are taking advantage of the opportunities. The survey examined female representation from the perspective of 3,000 oil and gas professionals. One in five strongly agreed gender-based discrimination occurs within the industry. Respondents cited societal conditioning, a lack of qualified candidates, and family care responsibilities as the most significant barriers to increasing the proportion of women in the industry. The report found that implementing STEM programs in schools, offering flexible working arrangements, and establishing company goals to encourage an improved gender balance were cited as the most important ways to increase female representation.
The report says that male and female oil and gas professionals agree on the top three decision points for selecting an employer: transparency in remuneration structure, availability of mentoring and sponsorship programs, and flexible working arrangements. However, female respondents placed more importance on mentoring and sponsorship programs and pay transparency, while male respondents placed more importance on companies offering specific childcare benefits. At the same time, both men and women placed nearly equal importance on flexible work arrangements when selecting an employer.
Global job opportunities
As investment and confidence rises in the offshore oil and gas market, more jobs will be created. The Global Oil & Gas Workforce Survey 2014 – published by OilCareers.com and Air Energi – identified engineers as the most in-demand job role in the industry, followed by project managers, drilling and contract administrators, and geologists.
The UK's oil and gas industry supports about 440,000 jobs, but as business confidence and investment in the industry grows, an estimated 20,000 more jobs will be created in the North Sea alone this year.
With an estimated $200 billion worth of projects under way, the Australian Workforce and Productivity Agency found that by 2018 the country's oil and gas workforce is expected to increase by 57%.
A new study released by the National Ocean Industries Association and the American Petroleum Institute indicates that offshore oil and natural gas development on the US Atlantic outer continental shelf could create about 280,000 jobs, spur an additional $195 billion in new private investment, contribute up to $24 billion/year to the US economy, generate $51 billion in new revenue for the government, and add 1.3 MMboe/d to domestic production between 2017 and 2035.
