Hate as an Aggravating Factor at Sentencing. A Review of the Case Law from 2007–2020

This study examines the way courts have applied hate as an aggravating factor at sentencing (subparagraph 718.2(a)(i) of the Criminal Code). The main purpose of this research was to identify the most common characteristics of offenders and victims of hate crimes, to identify the most frequent grounds of victimization, the reasoning behind the courts’ application of subparagraph 718.2(a)(i) of the Criminal Code, and to find trends in the way sentencing judges determine the quantum of sentences after they apply subparagraph 718.2(a)(i) of the Criminal Code.

To meet these objectives, research was conducted primarily through a review of case law databases to examine sentencing decisions published from 2007 to 2020 that considered subparagraph 718.2(a)(i) of the Criminal Code. This research also examined police-reported hate crime statistics between 2010 and 2018 and self-reported hate crime statistics from the 2014 General Social Survey to establish comparisons with published case law dealing with hate as an aggravating factor at sentencing.

Precipitation Occurrence Sensor System (POSS)

The Precipitation Occurrence Sensor System (POSS) is a small X-band 10.525 GHz continuous-wave bi-static vertically pointing Doppler radar. The system reports precipitation occurrence, type and intensity of precipitation at 1-min temporal resolution. Raw measurements are 960 samples per minute.  Doppler velocity and return power of hydrometeors intersect the sensing volume near and up to about 3 m above the sensor head.
Post-processing of the spectral data produces a results file containing derived precipitation rate and radar reflectivity, for both liquid and solid precipitation assumptions, at 1-minute temporal resolution.
The minutely POSS precipitation rates are estimated using two different methods. The “mass flux (MF) method” is for liquid precipitation. The “regression method” or “Z-R method” is used by large-scale precipitation radars where there is a relationship (regression) between radar reflectivity (Z) and precipitation rate (R).

POSS units have been deployed at a number of sites worldwide. Datasets are listed as follows,
1) YEU, 2007-07-28 to 2020-03-01 - Eureka, Nunavut, Canada.
2) GNL, 2010-09-15 to 2020-05-01 - Summit Station, Greenland Ice Sheet.
3) CAR, 2011-01-01 to 2019-08-23 - Egbert, Ontario, Canada.
4) YYZ, 2013-06-11 to 2019-05-23 - Toronto Pearson Int. Airport, Ontario, Canada.
5) JAR, 2010-09-17 to 2011-04-20 - Jarvenpaa (40 km N of Helsinki), Finland.
6) EMA, 2010-09-18 to 2010-10-22 - Emasalo (50 km E of Helsinki), Finland.

St. Lawrence River Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) flow data near Cornwall, Ontario 2022

As part of the sediment stability study in the priority area (Areas of Concern) of St Laurent River near Cornwall, 

ADCP instruments were deployed during the summer of 2022 to collect the flow data in the river. 

The data collection program is part of GLAP. The field experiments were carried out during May 17 to July 28 of 2022.

Two facing up ADCPs used to collect the river discharge data were deployed on the bottom of the river in deeper water area (closer to the middle of the river). Two looking down high resolution Aquadopps were also deployed one meter above the river bed for measuring flow velocity vertical profiles in the bottom layer. 

The data from one Aquadop was lost due to instrument malfunction. The measured flow data will be used for validation of three dimensional hydrodynamic model and for bed shear stress calculations.

Toxicity of the pharmaceuticals finasteride and melengestrol acetate to the mayfly Hexagenia spp.

The toxicity of pharmaceuticals finasteride (FIN) and melengestrol acetate (MGA) was assessed in chronic (42 days) sediment tests with the mayfly Hexagenia spp. Two tests were completed for each compound. Survival and growth were assessed at the end of each test.

High Resolution Ensemble Precipitation Analysis [experimental]

HREPA is part of the NSRPS (National Surface and River Prediction System) experimental system dependent on two other systems. It uses surface station observations and radar QPEs pre-processed by HRDPA and disturbed trial fields generated by the Canadian Land Data Assimilation System (CaLDAS). HREPA produces four precipitation analyses per day on 6-hour accumulations valid at synoptic times (00, 06, 12, and 18 UTC). Each analysis set contains 24 members plus the control member. A quality index (confidence index) is also available on the same grid as the precipitation fields. Finally, two percentiles, 25th and 75th, estimated on these sets are also provided for each synoptic hour. Currently, there is only a high-resolution version of the system, whose domain covers Canada and the northern United States with a horizontal resolution of about 2.5km.

The Use of Restorative Justice to Address Criminal Offending in Canada

Restorative Justice (RJ) is based on an understanding that crime causes harm to people and relationships, and it affects communities. RJ is an approach to justice that seeks to repair harm by providing an opportunity for those harmed and those who take responsibility for the harm to communicate about causes, circumstances, and impacts of crime, and to address their needs. RJ seeks to foster healing, reparation and reintegration, while also seeking to prevent future harm.

Management of Canadian aquaculture

The Canadian Environmental Sustainability Indicators (CESI) program provides data and information to track Canada's performance on key environmental sustainability issues. The management of Canadian aquaculture indicator measures the percentage of aquaculture operation inspections where no charges were laid with respect to federal aquaculture regulations. Aquaculture management in Canada is a shared responsibility among federal, provincial and territorial governments. The federal government has jurisdiction over fisheries and fish habitat across the country under the Fisheries Act. The indicator includes all national and regional regulations under the Act that apply to aquaculture. Aquaculture represents about one third of Canada's total fisheries value and about 20% of total seafood production by weight. In 2021, salmon accounted for 74% of production value followed by other finfish with 17% of the total value. Shellfish accounted for 9% of production value. If not sustainably managed, different types of aquaculture operations could have different environmental effects, ranging from local nutrient or chemical deposits into water systems to direct risks to wild species (habitat alteration and potential disease spread). Aquaculture makes a significant contribution to Canada's economic prosperity by providing jobs, revitalizing communities, and increasing production and exports. Fisheries and Oceans Canada manages the sustainability of aquaculture under the Fisheries Act and related regulations. The degree to which facilities comply with the Fisheries Act and regulations is an indication of how well operators meet environmental protection standards and that Canadian aquaculture is sustainably managed. Ensuring that aquaculture operators meet environmental protection standards helps to protect our aquatic environment and keep marine resources productive and available for the benefit of future generations. Information is provided to Canadians in a number of formats including: static and interactive maps, charts and graphs, HTML and CSV data tables and downloadable reports. See the supplementary documentation for the data sources and details on how the data were collected and how the indicator was calculated.

Practice Review and Internal Audit—Risk-Based Plan for the 2020–21 to 2022–23 Fiscal Years

As an officer of Parliament, the OAG is independent from government and reports directly to the Parliament of Canada. Given its mandate, the OAG is not subject to direct Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat oversight. Consequently, the OAG’s internal oversight mechanisms are of significant importance to ensuring that adequate management practices are in place. PRIA is one of these oversight mechanisms, as it provides assurance to management through internal audits and practice reviews.

This document presents PRIA’s Risk-Based Plan for the 2020–21 to 2022–23 Fiscal Years for the OAG. PRIA has updated the plan to consider the latest results of the OAG’s integrated risk management process and the detailed work and analysis completed by PRIA in the 2019–20 fiscal year. The plan combines proposed internal audit engagements and practice reviews to be completed over the next 3 fiscal years.
