The first part of the updates on being an expert witness is presented. By nature, appraisers are experts on a number of topics. Many appraisers make a decent living on providing evidence in Canadian courts. Recently, Ontario has changed its Rules of Civil Procedure to provide for the more complicated and particular role of experts in litigation matters. While this article largely pertains to the law of Ontario and experts, it has relevance in the other common law provinces of Canada as well as in Quebec, as the law sets out basic standards that should be employed by appraisers in their work. The new rules pertaining to civil procedure and experts came into effect in Ontario on Jan 1, 2010. The Supreme Court of Canada has provided that courts should only allow an expert to provide opinio...

The sink has become a source," says forest ecologist Tom Gower, at the University of Wisconsin, whose team has documented an ominous shift in the "carbon balance" of the forest blanketing northern Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta. "These boreal forests not too long ago were helping offset rising atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations by taking up carbon dioxide and storing it," Gower said in an interview. But with an increase in the frequency and size of fires in recent years, he says "that is no longer the case. Gower says he is "reluctant" to extrapolate the results to other parts of the boreal forest, since the age of trees and rate and type of disturbances vary markedly from region to region. "We would want to be careful extrapolating this to all provinces of Canada. But I do...

According to Statistics Canada, Manitoba has the lowest proportion of female officers among the provinces at 14.4 per cent. The required physical testing to become a police officer is tough, BPS Const. Tanis Basaraba says, but it's doable and shouldn't stop women from taking on the challenges of a rewarding career.

I was appointed to the Senate by Prime Minister [Stephen Harper] after winning consecutive Senate elections in Alberta. He was given the mandate to discuss further Senate elections with all of the provinces and territories of Canada. We have had a lengthy meeting with Premier Dalton McGuinty of Ontario on Senate elections. The premier has not offered a position on elections and has only stated that his preference is to abolish. Clearly, he is on the side of change. The opportunity to reform the Senate is not lost with the impending appointment of senators to fill the existing vacancies. Prime Minister Harper has assured Canadians that those appointed to the Senate are individuals committed to Senate reform. Those individuals will respect the wishes of provinces who intend to elect their...

The debate regarding Canadian training models continues today. Despite the disagreements, empirical research on the scientistpractitioner model in Canada is scant. Indeed, implementation of science training in clinical psychology programmes has not been systematically studied (Merlo, Collins, & Bernstein, 2008). The paucity of empirical research is made worse because student opinions on the matter have largely been unsolicited. Preliminary evidence suggests that American student opinions regarding the scientist-practitioner model vary widely, with some being staunch advocates and others describing it as a training anachronism ([Aspenson] et al., 1993). More recently, the Council of University Directors of Clinical Psychology (CUDCP) - a nonprofit organisation whose purpose is to fur...

One alarming trend that Ducks Unlimited Canada believes has directly contributed to our current situation is a significant loss of wetlands. Manitoba's wetlands and the habitats around them hold great value to North American waterfowl populations. They also play a vital role in the health of our watersheds and are critical to the well-being of our environment. Wetlands are our natural landscape filters that improve water quality and as such they are an integral component to a multi-barrier approach to source water protection. Recent studies suggest Manitoba has among the highest annual wetland loss rates of any of Canada's provinces -- a statistic not to be envied. Scientific analysis of one representative watershed in southwestern Manitoba reveals the loss or degradation of 70 per cent...
