 parliamentary associations.
As of March 31, 2018, there are 12 parliamentary associations that receive funding from the Parliament of Canada and fall under the administrative authority of the Joint Interparliamentary Council.

Those associations also receive full administrative assistance from the International and Interparliamentary Affairs Directorate.
The purpose of this report is to provide an overview of the parliamentary associations that fall under the Council, as well as their activities and expenditures for the 2017-2018 fiscal year.

This section of the report provides information about parliamentary associations, their governance and the support they receive.
Section II provides a general overview of the associations’ activities and expenditures for the 2017-2018 fiscal year whereas Section III provides information and data for each association for that same period.

We hope this report will provide helpful information on the activities of parliamentary associations and provide a better understanding of the work of parliamentarians at the international level.
For any additional information about this report or parliamentary associations, please contact the Joint Interparliamentary Council, at JIC-CIM@parl.gc.ca.
September 2018 Page 1 / 54 Section I: Introduction Parliamentary Associations and Interparliamentary Groups As mentioned on the previous page, parliamentary associations1 receive funding from the Parliament of Canada, fall under the administrative authority of the Joint Interparliamentary Council and receive full administrative assistance from the International and Interparliamentary Affairs Directorate.
Though their activities and objectives may be varied, the associations share similar characteristics: • • • • they promote the country’s interests abroad on a continuing basis; they operate on multilateral and bilateral levels; they are composed of members of the Senate and of the House of Commons; they meet at annual general meetings where they elect their executive committees, as well as at other meetings to coordinate and direct activities with their bilateral counterparts or with the international secretariats of the multilateral organizations to which they belong.
As of March 31, 2018, there are 12 associations, plus the Canadian Delegation to the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly which falls under the Canada-Europe Parliamentary Association.

These multilateral or bilateral associations, which can be found in Table 1 on the next page, may be grouped in five regions: global, Europe, Americas, Asia-Pacific and Africa.
There are also four interparliamentary groups2, which can also be found in Table 1 on the next page, which have been recognized by the Parliament of Canada and which also help promote bilateral relations with the specific country to which they are related.

These groups receive no funding from Parliament and minimal administrative assistance.
This assistance is generally limited to administrative and procedural support for annual general meetings, maintaining the group’s constitution and collecting related membership fees.

The interparliamentary groups promote cooperation and understanding amongst nations and, like parliamentary associations, strengthen the relations between Canadian parliamentarians and their counterparts in other Parliaments.

Membership fees from individual parliamentarians support the activities of these groups.
Given the nature of these groups, this report does not provide information about their activities and expenditures.

In addition to the parliamentary associations and the four recognized interparliamentary groups, there are a number of other groups, often referred to as “friendship groups” that do not receive administrative or financial support from the Parliament of Canada.
These groups are not required to register their activities or membership with the Council, but they are encouraged to advise the International and Interparliamentary Affairs Directorate in order to assist those who might wish to contact them.

For more information about these groups, please consult the unofficial list of other interparliamentary groups.
1Although the summary of information about the activities of the associations can be found in Section III of this report, a detailed description of the structure, activities and objectives of each association is available at http://www.parl.gc.ca/IIA/.

Specifically, the Council determines the level of funding to be distributed to each association within the limits of the total allotments approved by the Senate Standing Committee on Internal Economy, Budgets and Administration and the House of Commons Board of Internal Economy.
In addition, the Council is also responsible for setting the overall general policy direction for parliamentary associations as well as for coordinating related activities and operating policies to ensure effective, efficient, consistent and coherent support for international and interparliamentary activities while also promoting the best interests of the Parliament of Canada in its relations with other Parliaments.
As part of its mandate, the JIC is empowered to review, every five years, Parliament’s involvement with associations and recognized interparliamentary groups.

In March 2016, it agreed to create a subcommittee to conduct this five-year review.
The Subcommittee tabled its report, comprised of recommendations aimed at enhancing participation in Parliament’s international work, with the Council at the end of March 2017 after hearing from 31 parliamentarians as well as senior officials of the Library of Parliament and the International and Interparliamentary Affairs Directorate.

During this fiscal year, the JIC debated these recommendations at several of its meetings.

Supporting Parliamentary Associations The International and Interparliamentary Affairs Directorate (IIAD), is a joint Senate-House of Commons directorate offering a single parliamentary team to coordinate the Parliament of Canada’s international and interparliamentary relations and activities.

The Parliamentary Associations staff are responsible for the ongoing administrative, logistical and procedural support for each association.
The Library of Parliament offers direct support through analysts who provide research and analysis services to associations.

Finally, the Parliamentary Affairs Unit, Global Affairs Canada, is a close partner that provides support for official travel by parliamentarians, parliamentary associations and interparliamentary groups and friendship groups through documents, information sessions and coordination efforts with Canadian missions abroad.
September 2018 Page 4 / 54 Section II: 2017-2018 Activities and Expenditures – Overview This section includes tables and figures that present and illustrate data related to the activities and expenditures of all parliamentary associations for the 2017-2018 fiscal year.

It is important to distinguish between association activities and travel.

While activities include travel, they also include executive committee meetings, general assemblies and hosting activities.
A number of parliamentary associations’ activities are held outside Ottawa and abroad.

The world map in Figure 1 below shows the places to which the associations travelled to carry out activities from April 1, 2017 to March 31, 2018.

During this period, associations conducted 86 travel activities.

This is the highest number of travel activities held of the last five fiscal years.
FIGURE 1 – 2017-2018 PARLIAMENTARY ASSOCIATIONS TRAVEL ACTIVITIES September 2018 Page 5 / 54 Section II: 2017-2018 Activities and Expenditures - Overview Table 2 below provides an overview of the activities of parliamentary associations for the 2017-2018 fiscal year.

For instance, in this fiscal year, 77 delegations including Senators and Members of the House of Commons travelled to 50 countries while the Parliament of Canada welcomed 53 delegations from abroad, both in and outside Ottawa.
There was an increase of 6 visits abroad this fiscal year in comparison to the previous year.

When comparing to the previous fiscal year, the number of travel activities and the average number of travelling participants per travel activity have increased this fiscal year.

For the 2017-2018 fiscal year, parliamentary associations had a budget of $4,563,536 which reflects the 1 million dollars increase approved as part of the Main Estimates for the fiscal year.

The contribution expenditures of $1,394,338 show an increase over the previous fiscal year of 5%.

This difference stems mostly from fluctuating exchange rates, since many invoices are received in foreign currency.
The membership fees assessed to Canada for multilateral associations have generally remained the same as the previous fiscal year.

Given the increase in available funding for this fiscal year, it was expected that expenditures would be considerably higher.

Indeed, total expenditures for parliamentary associations increased by 28% in comparison to the previous fiscal year and amounted to 91% of the available funding resulting in a balance of $424,095 at the end of the year.
The graph in Figure 2 below shows a comparison of the expenditures of associations for their activities and contributions over the past five years.

As the graph indicates, expenditures for activities during the fiscal year 2017-2018 were indeed the highest of the last five fiscal years.

The objectives of these missions were to engage with parliamentarians and stakeholders on issues related to human rights, democracy, governance, regional security, and the rule of law, and to receive an update on the current political, economic, social, and humanitarian situation in these countries.

In Ghana and The Gambia, the delegation met with a number of parliamentarians, including the Speakers of both Parliaments.
It also met with the President of Ghana and the Vice President of The Gambia, along with several senior government Ministers and officials, human rights advocates, and journalists in both countries.

In Sudan, the delegation met with the Speakers of both Houses, parliamentarians, state-level officials, and members of civil society and the diplomatic community.
In Kenya, the delegation met with parliamentarians, government officials, and representatives from the business community and civil society, including those interested in human rights and the situation of refugees.

These bilateral visits provided opportunities to Canadian parliamentarians to not only gain a deeper understanding of those regions but also to exchange with their African counterparts on issues of common interest.

The Association also seeks to build closer relations between the Parliament of Canada and the individual Parliaments of all countries of Europe.

These missions allowed delegates to intervene at the Plenary Sessions and in Committees on a number of topics of interest to Canada and to hold several bilateral meetings with delegations from European countries to discuss a number of bilateral issues.

Immediately after the April session of PACE, the delegation travelled to Estonia and, prior to its Fall session in October, travelled to Bulgaria, as these countries would assume the next presidency of the Council of the European Union.
The discussions held during these visits included matters pertaining to Estonia’s and Bulgaria’s priorities for their upcoming presidency and other important issues related to Canada- EU, -Estonia and -Bulgaria relations.

Before attending the June PACE session, a CAEU delegation travelled to Brussels and participated in the 38th Interparliamentary Meeting (IPM) with the European Parliament Delegation for relations with Canada.
As part of this meeting, delegates discussed amongst other topics, counter-terrorism initiatives, refugee and energy policies, and climate change.

During this fiscal year, CAEU also maintained its ongoing participation at the Standing Committee of Parliamentarians of the Arctic Region and sent delegations to two meetings, in Kangerlussuag and Sisimiut, Greenland in May 2017, and, in Reykjavik, Iceland in October 2017.
Finally, in March 2018, a CAEU delegation travelled to Ireland with members of the Canada-Ireland Interparliamentary Group and joined the Canada- United Kingdom Parliamentary Association in Northern Ireland to continue fostering bilateral relations with those countries.

The primary purpose of the OSCE PA, the parliamentary arm of the OSCE, is to facilitate interparliamentary dialogue and to issue recommendations to the OSCE concerning its three dimensions of action: the politico-military dimension, the economic and environmental dimension, and the human dimension.
Director of the Canadian Delegation to the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly (fiscal year 2017-2018) Director Senate House of Commons Hedy Fry September 2018 Page 18 / 54 Section III: Activities and Expenditures - Canadian Delegation to the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly (SECO) 2017-2018 Activities and Expenditures The Canadian Delegation to the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly (SECO) participated in four main activities during this fiscal year.
SECO delegations attended the three regular meetings of the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly in order to foster relationships with parliamentarians from member countries and ensuring that Canadian perspectives are represented in this forum: the Annual Session, on the theme of “Enhancing mutual trust and co-operation for peace and prosperity in the OSCE region”, which was held in Belarus, in July 2017; the Autumn Meeting in Andorra, in October of the same year; and, the Winter Meeting in Vienna, in February 2018.
These meetings gave member countries the opportunity to discuss political, economic and humanitarian issues and to adopt reports and resolutions on these matters.

In addition to the three regular meetings of the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly, the Canadian delegate currently holding the position of Special Representative on Gender Issues of the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly attended a conference in Austria, in June 2017, where she was invited to speak on gender equity.

The Assembly's work deals with social, cultural, political and economic questions, as well as military matters, all of which are of vital concern to NATO member countries.
Parliamentarians participate in meetings and information exchanges mainly in Europe and North America but also in Asia and Africa, as well as in the regular Assembly Sessions.
