[Glenn Ackerley] recognizes how important it is to get a project off on the right footing, using fair and well-structured procurement and contract documents. To that end, as one of the members of the Ontario General Contractors Association's Ministry of Health Task Force, Glenn helped develop standard template documents which have been gaining wide acceptance across the industry. In his new role this year as TCA chairman, Glenn supports the efforts of the TCA to help address the skills shortage, particularly its initiative this spring to partner with Junior Achievement on an information day in schools to encourage students to consider construction as a career option. As chairman, Glenn's other priorities include promoting dispute resolution in the construction industry and continuing to...

Working with the Canadian Standards Association and supply chain stakeholders, the council developed a national accreditation program (NAP) that will recognize supply chain-related educatio nal offerings (individual courses and full programs) that meet the CSCSC's national standard (www.supplychaincanada.org/en/NAP), which was released in January 2009. CSCSC is in the process of evaluating the first pilot round of submissions for accreditation. As a result of its research, the CSCSC created a web-based labour market information (LMI) toolkit, and in early 2009 presented it to some follow up focus groups. It is now available at the CSCSC website. The CSCSC's "Virtual HR Department" offers online information and support in the areas of compensation/reward; recruitment, including templates...

The Harper government claims that it is keen to develop a strong policy towards Latin America. Yet it is a flawed approach, supporting US policy at a time when it is at its lowest point in decades, while ignoring both a clear leftward swing of elected Latin American governments in the last five years and the significant importance of Cuba in the region. This paper examines the Harper government's approach to Cuba. Following some general comments on the evolution of Canadian policy towards revolutionary Cuba, it examines some of the errors in the Harper approach, suggests an explanation for the approach employed, and makes suggestions about policies that Ottawa should consider to improve relations. In sports terms, Cuba "punches above its weight"-a fact which is known widely in Latin Ame...

In 2005, three of the titans of the IT industry, Microsoft, Cisco and EMC, were challenged by a US Department of Defense customer to co-develop a solution for just this problem of "share and secure" for their coalition networks. The customer also threw down a gauntlet by requiring the solution to lower the overall TCO of the infrastructure, while conforming to the various military and US national standards and laws for system security. These seemingly difficult and conflicting functional requirements were met through the dedicated and careful collaboration of these industry leaders. The solution, referred to as the Secure Information Sharing Architecture (SISA), became the cornerstone of the formal joint venture of these companies known as the SISA Alliance. The goal of SISA, the Allian...
While a variety of intersecting interests connected to create a common theme of disapproval for the Buy America policy being discussed by Prime Minister Harper and President Obama, the comments by [Stephen Cottle] (above) stood out for a number of reasons. I recently learned that the CanCon legislation, which came into force on January 18, 1971, requires that at least 25 percent of all music played on AM radio stations will be dedicated to Canadian content. The CanCon regulation stipulated that at least part of the required content be "written, produced, presented, or otherwise contributed to by persons from Canada." Prior to its introduction, the Canadian music industry "was regarded with indifference" by Canadian stations, thus it is safe to say that CanCon paved the way for an indust...

In its write up for the speaking engagement, OCRI - the Ottawa-based organization that sponsored the event - said, "IT Shared Services (ITSS) is recognized as an opportunity for the Government of Canada to create efficiencies and improve interoperability across departments and as a means of delivering programs and services to Canadians. Moving from concept to reality is a challenge, one that requires consultation, cooperation and collaboration with government departments, IT professionals and industry. It involves determining the priorities, the needs of the government and the products or services that can best be delivered in a shared services environment to create economies of scale. Four key areas have been identified where, through industry collaboration, there are opportunities for...

Forest companies require information that provides them a high degree of confidence in their efforts to bid and complete the job within a very competitive industry. A logging company's viability rests on an ensured source of supply of quality wood that can be harvested in the most efficient manner to ensure profitability. Companies need to know what trees are available in the blocks they bid on - the types of trees, their age, their health, their distribution over that area of land and what the characteristics of that block of land is so they can map out the most efficient location of their logging roads and develop their harvesting plans. Governments need to know the same thing when determining which blocks of timber will be put up for bid. Bluewater's TimberAnalyst (www. bluewatersolu...
