Liberals considering arming the Coast Guard amid significant pivot towards new security mandate
Article content On the same day Carney announced his plan to accelerate defence spending this year, his office told National Post Monday that the CCG — which currently reports to the minister of fisheries — would shift to the minister of national defence's portfolio. The move away from the fisheries minister makes it both likely easier for the CCG's budget to be included in Canada's defence spending in the eyes of NATO and is part of Carney's desire to pivot the 63-year-old civilian agency towards a more security-oriented role. 'Canadians elected our new Government on a strong mandate for change — to protect our borders and defend our sovereignty with increased focus and investment. To that end, the Prime Minister will soon initiate the process of moving the Canadian Coast Guard to the leadership of the Minister of National Defence,' PMO spokesperson Emily Williams said in a statement.

Are DEI initiatives done in the workplace?
Social Sharing A growing list of companies and institutions are moving away from diversity, equity and inclusion policies. But why? Here in Edmonton, the University of Alberta announced it's changing to a new approach called "access, community and belonging." AIMCO eliminated 19 jobs including the DEI program lead last month. On this week's episode of This Is Edmonton, host Clare Bonnyman speaks to CBC reporter Emily Williams about the move away from these initiatives, and what experts think of the changing attitudes toward these policies.
