Patience Lake Carnallite Isopach

These structure, isopach and zero edge files are part of a series of stratigraphic framework maps for the Saskatchewan Phanerozoic Fluids and Petroleum Systems (SPFPS) project.

The series of stratigraphic framework maps for the Saskatchewan Phanerozoic Fluids and Petroleum Systems (SPFPS) project have been produced using 2 km equi-spaced modified grids generated from Golden Software’s Surfer 9 kriging algorithm. The dataset used to produce each of the maps in this series was created using data from several projects completed by the Ministry (Christopher, 2003; Saskatchewan Industry and Resources et al., 2004; Kreis et al., 2004; Marsh and Heinemann, 2006; Saskatchewan Ministry of Energy and Resources et al., 2007; Heinemann and Marsh, 2009); these data were validated and edited as required to facilitate correlations between the various regional projects. In addition, to minimize edge effects during contouring, the senior author also generated stratigraphic data from wells in adjacent jurisdictions.

Charter Statement - Bill C-19: An Act to Amend the Income Tax Act

Section 4.2 of the Department of Justice Act requires the Minister of Justice to prepare a Charter Statement for every government bill to help inform public and Parliamentary debate on government bills. One of the Minister of Justice’s most important responsibilities is to examine legislation for inconsistency with the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms [“the Charter”]. By tabling a Charter Statement, the Minister is sharing some of the key considerations that informed the review of a bill for inconsistency with the Charter. A Statement identifies Charter rights and freedoms that may potentially be engaged by a bill and provides a brief explanation of the nature of any engagement, in light of the measures being proposed.

A Charter Statement also identifies potential justifications for any limits a bill may impose on Charter rights and freedoms. Section 1 of the Charter provides that rights and freedoms may be subject to reasonable limits if those limits are prescribed by law and demonstrably justified in a free and democratic society. This means that Parliament may enact laws that limit Charter rights and freedoms. The Charter will be violated only where a limit is not demonstrably justifiable in a free and democratic society.

A Charter Statement is intended to provide legal information to the public and Parliament on a bill’s potential effects on rights and freedoms that are neither trivial nor too speculative. It is not intended to be a comprehensive overview of all conceivable Charter considerations. Additional considerations relevant to the constitutionality of a bill may also arise in the course of Parliamentary study and amendment of a bill. A Statement is not a legal opinion on the constitutionality of a bill.

Ecosystem Classification of the Hudson Bay Lowlands

Ecosystems in the Hudson Bay Lowlands (HBL) form one of the most ecologically significant regions in Canada, shaped by the interplay of tundra, taiga, and one of the world’s largest peatland complexes. These ecosystems support diverse wildlife including migratory birds, polar bears, boreal species and sustain the cultural, subsistence, and spiritual relationships of Cree, Dene, and Métis Nations. The ecological functions of the HBL are globally important, containing immense carbon stores in deep peat deposits. The HBL has become increasingly vulnerable to rapid warming, altered hydrology, and shifts in permafrost conditions. As these changes accelerate, understanding ecosystem extent and distribution becomes crucial for assessing risks to biodiversity, carbon stocks, and climate feedbacks.

Accurate mapping of ecosystem extent in Hudson Bay is also essential for Canada’s international reporting obligations and global conservation commitments. Ecosystem extent is a foundational indicator across major frameworks, including the UN Sustainable Development Goals, UNFCCC greenhouse gas reporting, and especially the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework, where it underpins progress toward the 2050 Vision for Biodiversity. Because models used for national carbon accounting (e.g., CBM-CFS3 and GCBM) rely on precise ecosystem-type inputs, consistent and spatially explicit mapping of the HBL is necessary to quantify carbon sinks, monitor ecosystem change, and report transparently to bodies such as the CBD and IPCC. In a rapidly warming region with globally significant carbon stores, comprehensive mapping ensures that Canada can track ecosystem change, safeguard biodiversity, and meet its international environmental commitments.

This product was produced by using Classification by Progressive Generalization (CPG) which uses enhanced false-colour Landsat Earth-observation imagery, specifically Red, NIR, and SWIR bands as the input for a multistep clustering and merging process. Each band is first contrast-stretched to widen the dynamic range of key features such as vegetation and soils while compressing dark (water, shadow) and bright (cloud, ice) extremes. K-means clustering is then applied to the enhanced 3-band composite to produce 200 spectral clusters, which are colour-coded using the average RGB brightness of the corresponding Landsat bands. This initial reduction from millions of possible spectral signatures to 200 clusters forms the first “generalization.” Further generalization is achieved by merging clusters based on thematic and spectral similarity and spatial adjacency. Once merging is complete, a lookup table converts the 200 clusters into the final mapped classes.

Evaluating carbon (δ13C) and nitrogen (δ15N) isotope discrimination in a captive model to better understand carry-over effects in oviparous species

A fulsome understanding of carry-over effects in migratory oviparous wildlife facilitates effective conservation and requires knowledge of how these species allocate nutrients during egg production. Accurate inference about oviparous nutrient allocation strategies – the contributions of nutrients from body reserves (endogenous) versus those from diet (exogenous) to eggs – is dependent on isotope tissue-diet fractionation values (TDFs). However, not only are these values highly variable and species specific, but they are also based on limited data. To determine carbon ( 13C) and nitrogen (15N) TDFs for birds’ eggs, we conducted a feeding trial with captive shorebirds and measured  13C and 15N in whole food, food constituents (protein and lipid-based), egg components (albumen, whole yolk, lipid-free yolk, and yolk lipid), and select somatic tissues (pectoral muscle, subcutaneous fat) in females. We calculated diet and component specific TDFs and then used these values in Bayesian stable isotope mixing models to evaluate changes in nutrient allocation over the course of the egg-laying period. Our results show that TDFs in shorebirds are distinct from those previously measured in other species and also indicate seasonally variable endogenous nutrient inputs to protein-based egg components. The first study to report these types of data for a small-bodied bird, our findings provide new insights about the relationships between avian nutrition, reproduction, and potential carry-over effects.
