FONOM joinswithPoliceDepartmentsandAssociationtodiscussCatchandRelease

Members of the Federation of Northern Ontario Municipalities (FONOM) Board met with the Sault Ste. Marie Police Services Board Chair,SaultSte.MariePoliceService,Timmins Police Service, and the North Bay Police Association, to discuss the negative impacts Federal Bill C75 is having on communities

acrossOntario.

DuringaFONOMBoardmeetinginJuly 2022, Sault Ste. Marie's Police Chief Hugh Stevenson, shared the current catch-and-release procedures. At the meeting, FONOM membershipcommittedtocreateaNorthernTask Forcetofocusontheissue.TheTaskForcewill consist of three FONOM board members, two municipal police chiefs, and an OPP service boardmember.Thefirstmeetingofthetaskforce was held in Sault Ste Marie on Wednesday, February 16th, 2023. See below for a list of attendees.

"Citizens of Northern Ontario are angry. Peoplethatbreakintoourhomesandtraumatize law-abiding citizens are arrested by police, then releasedthesameday,someofthem,committing another crime later that day," said FONOM President Danny Whalen. "The lack of movement to examine the legislation four years after implantation is unacceptable and we will continue to bring a northern voice to decision makers.

Moving forward, FONOM will work to increase participation from northern police services such as the Nishnawbe Aski Police Service, other northern Police Association representatives and government officials. The task force is communicating with the Attorney General's and Solicitor General's officers to participate in ongoing discussions around catch andrelease.

During the meeting Chief Stevenson, an OntarioAssociationofChiefsofPolice(OACP) Board Member, shared with the FONOM four

recommendedamendmentsforBillC-75.

1. Create a designation of a chronic persistent offender,

2. Allow community impact statements at bail andatbailhearings,

3. Creating reverse onus in bail for all firearm offences,and Cont’donP.8

By the end of the war more than 130,000 air crew members had beentrainedandmorethan100aerodromesand landingfieldsbuiltacrossCanada.

My parents met Iven and Arlene in Hamilton, and more than 70 years later, I am in contact with their children. In a real way, I have beenabletofollowtheAmericanDreamthrough theirfamily,beginningshortlyaftertheendofthe war when Mom and I travelled by train from ChapleautoIllinoistopayourfirstvisit.

Aftermyfather,FlyingOfficerJamesE.

Iven andArlene Nichol came to Canada from the United States after the war started in 1939, andIvenjoinedthe RCAF,thenbecame, likemyfather,aflyinginstructoratMountHope near Hamilton. Iven was one of hundreds of Americans who came to Canada to join our nation's armed forces before their country enteredthewarin1941.

It was on that trip that I visited Tom Sawyer's caves in Hannibal, Missouri in Mark Twain country and fell in love with marching bandswhentheytookustotheIllinoisStateFair.

As Iven moved up the corporate ladder, the ever growing family moved to Pittsburgh wherewe visitedoftenandIsawmyfirstMajor Leaguebaseballgame.

But most importantly, I still recall Iven tellingmymotherthatthenextdayhewasgoing totakemeandtheiroldestdaughterSandyforan airplanerideoverPittsburgh.Mymotherwasnot in favour, but Iven insisted that given how my fatherdied,itwassomethingthathadtobedone. IvenwonandtothisdayIamgratefultohim.

from OTTAWA Rapport d’Ottawa

by/par Carol Hughes Federal member of Parliament Algoma-Manitoulin-Kapuskasing

Late last week, the final report of the Federal Electoral Boundaries Commission for Ontario was released. While there was some significant changes from the redistribution proposal that was released late last summer, with feedback taken from the great work of municipal leaders, First Nations, and concerned citizens to help shape the electoral map, the core issues with redistributionremainedfortheNorth.Namely,the numberofelectoraldistrictsisbeingreduced,from tentonine;ruralcommunitiesarebeinglumpedin with larger centres; and a reduced voice in Parliament. Any way you slice it, the report does notfavourNorthernOntario.

While electoral districts across the north havebeenredistributed,theclearoutlierintermsof how things are changing is Algoma-ManitoulinKapuskasing. With the Commission's final proposal,theelectoraldistrictofAlgoma-ManitoulinKapuskasingwillbecompletelyerased.Thosewho live within the riding currently would be represented in new ridings with much larger centres.

OntarioRidingRedistributionReducesRepresentationintheNorth

ThosewhocurrentlyresideonorneartheEastside of the Highway 17 corridor, including Manitoulin Island, up to Walford would be part of the Manitoulin-NickelBeltriding.Thosewestofhere, from Spanish to St. Joseph Island, and all the way North to White River, would be part of the Sault Ste. Marie-Algoma. Those North along Highway 11, as well as those in Chapleau, Sultan and Foleyet, would be part of the new riding of Kapuskasing-Timmins-Mushkegowuk. These changes are centered on population growth based oncollectedcensusdata.It'snotthatthepopulation acrossnorthernOntariodidn'tgrowoverthelast10 years,itjustdidn'tgrowasfastasotherpartsofthe province.2

Itwasn'tfromalackofeffortfromcitizens trying to retain the number of ridings in the north. The report indicates considerable concerns raised across those regions where ridings would be changed significantly, particularly in Northern Ontario.Infact,theyspecificallynoteof“49ofthe municipalities in Northern Ontario that passed resolutions in relation to the proposed redistribution plan included in their resolutions a petition to the Federal Government to introduce legislation that would provide for a minimum number of “guaranteed” ridings for Northern Ontario, to ensure that the voices of Northern and rural communitiesareheard.”Thisisanincredibleamountof actionfromconcernedcitizensandmunicipalities, and this work has not gone unnoticed. However, the Commission further notes that “these recommendationsfalloutside the mandate of ourCommission and the timelines imposed by the Electoral Boundaries Readjustment

Act.”

ThelossofaridinginNorthernOntariois problematic.Itmeansthatthecommunitiesthatare representedinthenorthwillhaveonelessvoicein parliament, and one less vote in the House of Commonsforissuesimportanttonortherners.The officeofaMemberofParliamentactsasnortherners' gateway to Federal public services, such as passport, immigration, and Canada Revenue Agency services, especially in smaller communities that don't have readily accessible Service Canadaoffices.

Algoma-Manitoulin-Kapuskasing is, by design, a rural riding, representing small towns, villages,FirstNations,andFrancophonecommunities.Itwasdesignedtoofferpeoplestrongpolitical representation,andtoarticulatetheiruniqueneeds and aspirations in Parliament. This readjustment may risk alienating people in those communities whose needs and concerns are overshadowed by the interests of more populous urban centres.This isn't to say that those interests can't align, but the needsofacommunitysuchasIronBridgearen'tthe same as the needs of a community like Sault Ste. Marie.

The report still needs to be approved throughtheStandingCommitteeonProcedureand House Affairs (PROC) and then returned to the Federal Electoral Boundaries Commission for Ontario for consideration of any recommended changes. Other Northern Ontario MPs have so far alsobeenlessthanpleasedwithlosingrepresentationinNorthernOntarioforthereasonshighlighted andmore.Thisiswherethefighttokeeprepresentation will be fought next. MPs have a month to formally object to the proposed plan to remove a seat from Northern Ontario, and on this issue, we willworktobeaunitedfrontagainsttheplanthat seeks to strip that voice from Parliament. We will do everything we can to make sure the north is heardagainsthavingaseatstrippedfromNorthern Ontario.
