As of March 31, 2019, 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 2018-2019 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 2018-2019 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.
June 2019 Page 1 / 52 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 vary, 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, 2019, 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 Parliamentary Diplomacy Canada Website.
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.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.
During this fiscal year, the JIC adopted a Code of Conduct for association members, setting clear guidelines for the responsibilities and commitments required of parliamentarians when participating as members of an association delegation or representing the association in Canada and internationally.

The Council also adopted a document titled “Decision, Action and Communication Model for Parliamentary Associations’ Travel Security Concerns”.
This document seeks to clarify the security assessment process that precedes any travel abroad.

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.
June 2019 Page 4 / 52 Section II: 2018-2019 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 2018-2019 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 destinations to which the associations travelled to carry out activities from April 1, 2018 to March 31, 2019.

During this period, associations conducted 83 travel activities compared to 86 during the previous fiscal year.
FIGURE 1 – 2018-2019 PARLIAMENTARY ASSOCIATIONS TRAVEL ACTIVITIES June 2019 Page 5 / 52 Section II: 2018-2019 Activities and Expenditures - Overview Table 2 below provides an overview of the activities of parliamentary associations for the 2018-2019 fiscal year.

For instance, in this fiscal year, 72 delegations including Senators and Members of the House of Commons travelled to 41 countries while the Parliament of Canada welcomed 58 delegations from abroad, both in and outside Ottawa.

For the 2018-2019 fiscal year, parliamentary associations had a budget of $4,300,496 which reflects the $263,040 decrease approved as part of the Main Estimates for the fiscal year.

The contribution expenditures of $1,423,587 show an increase over the previous fiscal year of 2%.

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.

Total expenditures for parliamentary associations decreased by 6% in comparison to the previous fiscal year and amounted to 91% of the available funding resulting in a balance of $402,493 at the end of the year.

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 Algeria, the delegation met with a number of parliamentarians and Ministers, government officials, and representatives from the business community and civil society, including those interested in human rights and the situation of refugees.

In Ethiopia and Rwanda, the delegation met with parliamentarians, government officials, human rights advocates, journalists, and representatives from civil society.
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 topics of interest to Canada and to hold bilateral meetings with delegations from European countries to discuss topics of mutual interest.

Immediately after both sessions of PACE, the delegation travelled to Austria, in April 2018, and in Romania, in October 2018, 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 Austria’s and Romania’s priorities for their upcoming presidency and other important issues related to Canada-EU, -Austria and -Romania relations.

In May 2018, in Ottawa, delegates participated in the 39th Interparliamentary Meeting (IPM) with the European Parliament Delegation for relations with Canada; and in March 2019, delegates travelled to Strasbourg for the 40th IPM meeting.
As part of these meetings, delegates discussed amongst other topics, environment and climate change; trade policy; migration and refugees.

CAEU also maintained its ongoing participation at the Standing Committee of Parliamentarians of the Arctic Region (SCPAR) and sent delegations to two meetings, in Kiruna, Sweden in May 2018; and in Murmansk, Russia, in March 2019.
In September 2018, a delegation also traveled to Inari, Finland to participate in the Conference of Parliamentarians of the Arctic Region that takes place every two years.

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.
