One of the first orders of business will be to fill the vacancy left by former Foreign Affairs minister David Emerson, who was considered one of the most competent members of [Stephen Harper]'s senior team. Industry Minister Jim Prentice, also seen as one of Harper's most reliable lieutenants, Justice Minister Rob Nicholson and Transport Minister Lawrence Cannon are rumoured to be in line for the Foreign Affairs post. You've got to go back to a basic question: "Why'd I lose and how am I going to win?'" said a senior Conservative source. "And you're going to win these days by providing competent economic management and convincing Quebecers you don't hate them, or at least you don't hate their culture. She is also close to Defence Minister Peter MacKay - in fact one source says it was M...

According to the 2009 study, (online at www.ecovadis.com), the responses of a large number of European procurement directors to the "same strategic and operational questions to assess the progress of intentions as well as achievements" shed light on the development of sustainable procurement and moving from a "Why?" to a "How?" approach. When asked what would motivate implementing a sustainability and/or environmental policy, more than half said "interest from senior management" followed by the "need to comply with regulations." The third factor identified was "employee demand." Interestingly, while the top two factors chosen by public purchasers are also on the list of factors for companies, according to the study, "the prime reason for a company to implement a 'green' purchasing poli...

Five RCMP officers and a whistleblower who lost her job accused the force's senior management, led by former RCMP commissioner Giuliano Zaccardelli, of corruption, coverup, cronyism and deliberately derailing an investigation into the misappropriation of funds from the Mounties pension plan. Five Mounties were called as witnesses following disturbing allegations that management wanted to derail investigations that could throw a spotlight on mishandling pension and insurance funds. Opposition on the committee led the charge for Wednesday's hearings, which was strongly opposed by Conservative MPs who argued the committee shouldn't be sticking its nose into a closed criminal investigation. The affair has caused a rift within RCMP ranks, with some officers lobbying MPs behind the scenes fo...

Chrysler is holding a gun to our heads. We should not give in to its demands no matter what. I realize that if we were to take this position, that we would be putting 10,000 people out of work. We cannot give into these demands. Let the company declare bankruptcy -- then the trustees would come in and run the company and perhaps reopen the plants in Windsor and Brampton. At least then we would know where the money was going and not to the CEO's and senior management's salary and/or bonus. Rainbow Stage's decision to cancel its winter production of Little Shop of Horrors has another negative effect beyond the wariness Kevin Prokosh predicts on the part of future ticket buyers. Winnipeg performers made active decisions to audition for and be cast in this show over other opportunities in t...

This is a valuable report, documenting the hard work, experience and lessons learned by the mining industry, Aboriginal communities and governments as we worked together to encourage Aboriginal participation in mining," said Gordon Peeling, president and CEO of the Mining Association of Canada. "The largest private sector employer of Aboriginal Canadians today, the mining industry has much to offer in terms of career opportunities, economic and business development and the acquisition of new skills. "The uranium mining industry is the largest full-time employer of Aboriginal people in the province and is the primary engine of economic development in northern Saskatchewan," the report reads. "Saskatchewan's mining industry is an internationally recognized leader in both employment of A...

Create a vision for organizational diversity -- Organizations will not change unless change is made at the top and cascaded throughout. Therefore, it is important that the president/CEO/executive director of your organization develops with the senior management team a vision for organizational diversity and cultural competency. Ensure the vision embraces all of the dimensions of diversity and cultural competency. Conduct an organizational self-assessment -- Conduct an assessment of who your employees are, who your clients, customers and suppliers are and what stereotypes or assumptions you make about these individuals. Write these stereotypes down and then analyze them for accuracy. For instance, if you say, "they think the world owes them a living," who are you referring to? Is this an...

Only five years ago, the New Zealand municipal governments of Christchurch (pop. 338,000) and Hutt City (pop. 95,000) were the weakest links in their local communities. Today, Hutt City is winning business excellence awards against private sector organizations and Christchurch is so efficient that other municipalities look to it for guidance. At [Hutt] and Christchurch, good performance according to the goal-setting program can earn bonuses that are 30 per cent above base salary. This does not apply to senior management only. A hierarchy of goals means that everyone's performance is measured and rewarded. Productivity is high because every staff member is recognized for the difference he or she makes.

WRHA spokeswoman Heidi Graham said the board of directors, senior management, WRHA legal team and a "few others" were privy to the administrative review into [Brian Sinclair]'s death, but would not specify who read the report and when. Disclosing these facts would reveal how long officials sat on the fact that Sinclair approached the triage desk for care and didn't bother to correct the public record. It might also explain a series of recent blunders that has left WRHA officials scrambling to explain why top officials "misspoke" about the facts of Sinclair's death. You can't have it both ways," [Hugh McFadyen] said. "They either have to comply with the law totally or they don't.
