LEGISLATION COMMUNIQUÉS
Communiqué #2 - LegislationLynn Jones, Provincial Chairperson of Legislation October 2022
I hope you all had a wonderful summer and are ready to get back to our regular CWL meetings.
As the league embraces a new chapter, we will be phasing out the Legislation standing committee and will be working under the new committee of Social Justice. I am looking forward to seeing how this all unfolds in the coming months.
I have been doing some reading since my last communique and would like to share with you an arti-cle I found called - Roe v. Wade – Now What? For those of you who get the Catholic Register you will have already read this but for those who don’t please search for the article on the link below.
Another article is Implications of Roe v Wage in the Canadian Context. Please check out the link be-low. It gives you a bit of history on abortion legislation in both US and CA and where we are now.
If you find any legislation articles you would like to share with me please email me at
Communiqué #1 - LegislationLynn Jones, Provincial Chairperson of Legislation July 2022
“The day the power of love overrules the love of power, the world will know peace.” – Mahatma Gandhi
New Chairpersons: As I am also new I went on the Internet to get started. How does a bill become Law? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4O8syj77goQ One of the jobs that I have as Legislation Chair is to monitor the legislation of all levels of government. LEGISinfo: provides information on Bills being considered in the House of Commons and Senate:
Information about Justice-related legislation currently being considered by Parliament, can be found at Department of Justice https://www.justice.gc.ca/eng/
Current Legislation:
ROE vs WADE As I am sure all of you are aware of the breaking news south of the border. ROE vs WADE has been overturned. There is so much available in a variety of media – TV, Radio and the Internet. If you put “roe versus wade and catholic” in google you will come across oodles of articles on the subject.
The Catholic Register has an interesting article called Abortion Reality https://www.catholicregister.org/columns/itemlist/tag/Roe%20vs%20Wade
There will be much discussion from both sides of the issue in the days to come. Take some time during the summer to listen and read.
Bill 14, Time to Care Act (Long Term Care Homes Amendment, Minimum Standard of Daily Care), 2021 The Bill amends the Long Term Care Homes Act, 2007 so that a long-term care home will have to provide its residents with at least four hours a day of nursing and personal support services, averaged across residents. The minimum hours may be increased by regulation. Status – First reading was back in October of 2021, Second Reading in November of 2021 and the order has been referred to a Standing Committee on Justice Policy on Nov 24 2021. With each province weighing in on this debate this will also have plenty of articles to read over the summer.
