Indigenous Land Rights in Australia: Lessons for a Canadian Northern Corridor
Authors: Mascher Sharon 
Published: August 2024

The Canadian Northern Corridor (CNC) research project is currently exploring the concept of creating a pan-Canadian infrastructure corridor consisting of a multi-modal (road, rail, pipeline, electrical transmission and communication) transportation right-of-way traversing Canada’s north and near north. With a goal of connecting Canada from north to south and coast to coast to coast, the CNC, and particularly any infrastructure built within it, would necessarily directly and indirectly affect a significant number of Indigenous communities and a diverse range of constitutionally protected rights and interests. As Canada commits to implementing the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP), the CNC must be conceptualized in a manner that ensures respect for the rights and interests of Indigenous communities along the corridor if it is to be a forward-looking, nation-building project.
Climate Risk Assessment and Adaptation Considerations for Municipal Governance
Authors: Tyler Mary-Ellen 
Published: August 2024

Within the last 10 years, four of the 10 most extreme and extremely expensive weather- related disasters in Canada have occurred in Alberta, and climate modelling for Western Canada projects increasing changes and weather extremes. Changing and extreme conditions will continue to affect many aspects of municipal operations over the next 10 to 30 years. The major risks and impacts of changing climate conditions directly affecting municipalities involve infrastructure performance, increasing water stress, land use change and asset management.
Long-term seasonal temperature and precipitation changes punctuated by extreme weather conditions are a costly combination affecting local governments and communities. Alberta has a diverse range of climate risks, and risk assessment, adaptation and disaster response needs to reflect this diversity. Surveys done in 2019 and 2021 identified common barriers affecting municipal effectiveness in managing and adapting to climate risk which include: available staff time; access to climate risk and adaptation expertise; access to financial resources; and access to locally relevant and credible climate informationand data. Municipalities in Alberta with populations less than 10,000 are more likely to experience these barriers than larger and urban municipalities better positioned to have access to the specialized resources necessary.
All Alberta local authorities are required to have an emergency management plan to respond to extreme weather events of relatively short duration. However, longer term, extreme shifts in seasonal temperatures and precipitation are projected over the next 20to 30 years that will continue to impact municipal land use planning, water availability and infrastructure costs. Climate risk and adaptation need to be integrated into municipal plans, infrastructure maintenance, capital budgets and asset management to strengthen local resilience. Municipalities in Alberta have a provincial statutory framework that can address climate risk assessment and adaptation. Eight opportunities are identified that can be used within Alberta’s municipal government model to increase municipal effectiveness including: greater use of Intermunicipal Collaboration Frameworks (ICFs) and development of a Climate Adaptation Research and Decision Support (CARDS) network to provide multi- disciplinary decision support to local government decision-makers in different geographic areas of Alberta.
Securities Regulation in Canada at a Crossroads
Authors: Lortie Pierre 
Published: August 2024

On May 26, 2010, Canada’s Minister of Finance tabled in the House of Commons a draft Securities Act. The purpose of the Act is to establish Federal government jurisdiction over securities legislation and create a Federal Securities Regulatory Authority. With this initiative, the Federal government proposes to centralize the regulatory apparatus to ensure uniformity of policies and regulations across Canada and meet international standards of quality and comprehensiveness. But this initiative also raises significant constitutional and economic policy issues. In a comprehensive paper examining the main arguments supporting a centralized securities apparatus, Pierre Lortie, Senior Business Advisor at Fraser Milner Casgrain LLP, argues that sound public policy should move ahead only if there is a strong body of empirical evidence demonstrating that the performance of the current regime is significantly inferior to that of other countries — particularly the United States — and that a centralization of the regulatory apparatus is necessary to correct the situation. The paper demonstrates that Canada’s decentralized securities regulatory regime has in fact shown flexibility, a great capacity to adapt to changing circumstances and an unrelenting ability to respond to particular industry or regional needs. It has also provided strong assurances against the hasty adoption of disruptive and costly regulations because it is less susceptible to the imposition of politically expedient or faddish requirements or the influence of a dominant industry or interest groups. In contrast, a centralized system runs the risk of turning into a disruptive, costly and regrettable initiative that will not give Canadians what they expect, while erasing many of the benefits achieved so far.
The Impact of Sales Tax Reform on Ontario Consumers: A First Look at the Evidence
Authors: Smart Michael 
Published: August 2024

Ontario’s new Harmonized Sales Tax applies to a broader base of consumer purchases than before, but it also removes some of the “hidden” taxes on business inputs. This paper offers a first look at how the change has affected consumer prices and the welfare of Ontario families. While consumer prices initially rose 0.9% due to the reform, the price impact has since fallen, reflecting the way that input tax credits are being passed on to consumers, or the new taxes are otherwise being absorbed by sellers. With the compensating income tax changes also enacted by the Ontario government, the net impact of the reform for most families by the end of 2010 was a gain or very small loss in after-tax real incomes. Since input tax credits are likely passed on as lower prices or higher wages only gradually over time, the effect of the policy on aftertax real incomes will likely continue to improve over time.
The GST and Financial Services: Pausing for Perspective
Authors: Firth Michael , McKenzie Kenneth J. 
Published: August 2024

The treatment of financial services has long been viewed as one of the more technical, and difficult, areas in value added taxation. Financial intermediaries add value by reducing transaction costs for clients. While in principle this value added should be taxed under a comprehensive VAT, this has proven to be difficult to do in practice because of measurement issues. The predominant approach adopted in most countries — albeit with several variations on the theme — has thus been to exempt most financial services from VAT. This was the approach adopted in Canada at the initiation of the GST just over twenty years ago. While this approach is far from perfect, and introduces several distortions into the economy, it has by and large been concluded that it is the most practical approach to dealing with financial services under a VAT. Two decades of legal wrangling and Ottawa’s habit of retroactively legislating changes to the GST as it relates to financial services have served to muddy the waters in Canada. Recent changes have significantly altered the scope for exemption and resulted in an uneven playing field across financial services. This paper argues that the best solution for Canada is to stick with the exemption approach, but to go back to basics with an eye for reducing existing distortions and restoring a semblance of neutrality. Specifically, the paper calls for a reset of the “arranging for” exemption for financial services; the creation of a new GST-recovery system for financial services; a new structure for taxing imported supplies; and a limit to retroactive legislative amendments and minimum requirements for future amendments. The authors also argue that consideration should be given to zero-rating “business to business” financial transactions so as to remove the GST embedded in transactions between financial institutions and businesses.
Trends, Peaks, and Troughs: National and Regional Employment Cycles in Canada
Authors: Kneebone Ronald D. , Gres Margarita 
Published: August 2024

When the 2008 global recession hit Canada and national unemployment rates began to rise, the federal government soon found itself under pressure to do something to help. That something ended up being the Economic Action Plan, a multi-billion-dollar spending initiative spread across the country. But, in at least one part of the country, no help was really needed at all. In New Brunswick, the recession had barely any impact on the state of the job market. Federal spending there would have been at best, unnecessary or, at worst, harmful, crowding out private investment while having an inflationary effect on the regional economy. Unfortunately, any informed assessment of how much stimulus is required in each province requires many months of data. Governments, impatient to show they are taking action, hastily create plans that may cause them to spend needlessly — or even harmfully — in some provinces while possibly coming up short in provinces facing the deepest economic crisis. In this report we show this problem is not unique to the most recent recession. Our analysis uses monthly data on labour market conditions to show that the timing and depth of employment recessions varies widely across provinces and that this has been so in every recession since 1976. These results suggest that, to be effective, spending “action plans” and tax cuts must be targeted to benefit only certain regions of the country at certain times. The time it takes to formulate such targeted responses, and the obvious political challenges they involve, beggars the question of whether a national strategy can ever be designed that takes into account the varying economic conditions of a country with such a wide variety of industries and economic variables. Examinations of the role played by governments in alleviating the recent recessions in Canada, the United States and elsewhere have emphasized the importance of relying instead on “automatic stabilizers” — pre-established mechanisms such as employment insurance, social assistance, and prescribed tax adjustments — to alleviate the impact of recessions. Before the next recession comes, the federal government — and provincial governments as well — would be wiser to prepare by investing resources in legislating well-designed automatic stabilizers so these processes are in place to naturally kick in precisely where and when they are needed. With the right formula of automatic stabilizers responding quickly and precisely to economic contractions, the main job left for politicians would be persuading the public that resorting to action plans and national strategies is something we are better off avoiding.

Published: August 2024

Jual beli hak atas tanah dilakukan dengan jalan memberi hutang terlebih dahulu kepada pemilik/pemegang hak atas tanah, namun akta perjanjian yang dibuat adalah akta perjanjian jual beli dengan cara mengelabui pemilik tanah untuk menandatangani akta tersebut tanpa terlebih dahulu menjelaskan isinya. Permasalahan dirumuskan sebagai berikut: 1) Bagaimana perlindungan hukum bagi pemilik hak atas tanah terhadap pengalihan perjanjian hutang pihutang menjadi perjanjian jual beli? 2) Bagaimana dasar pertimbangan hakim dalam memeriksa memutus gugatan perbuatan melawan hukum pada perkara Nomor: Nomor: 693/PDT/2016/ PT SBY? 3) Apa akibat hukum bagi para pihak atas putusan Pengadilan Tinggi Surabaya Perkara Nomor: 693/PDT/2016/ PT SBY? Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan yuridis normatif (normative legal research). Analisis data yang digunakan adalah pendekatan kualitatif terhadap data sekunder sebagai data utama dan data primer sebagai data pendukung. Hasil Penelitian menunjukkan bahwa Perlindungan hukum bagi pemilik hak atas tanah terhadap pengalihan perjanjian hutang pihutang menjadi perjanjian jual beli adalah batalnya jual beli tersebut. Dasar pertimbangan hakim dalam memeriksa memutus gugatan perbuatan melawan hukum adalah keterangan saksi-saksi dan bukti surat. Akibat hukum yang ditimbulkan karena memenangkan penggugat sebagai pemilik lahan sebab jual beli yang terjadi antara Penggugat dan Tergugat I merupakan hasil rekayasa, sehingga tidak sah secara hukum, yaitu: Penggugat secara hukum dikembalikan kedudukannya sebagai pemilik yang sah, Tergugat, dihukum untuk menyerahkan obyek sengketa kepada Penggugat.

Published: August 2024

Introduction Addressing depression requires a comprehensive approach. Investigating the relationship between ruminative thought and mindfulness in patients with major depressive disorder is crucial.
Objective This study aimed to investigate the correlation between ruminative thoughts and mindfulness in patients with major depressive disorder in the community.
Design A cross-sectional study
Methodology Participants included 75 patients diagnosed with major depressive disorder in the maintenance phase of antidepressant therapy, purposively selected from a psychiatric hospital and community hospitals in a northeastern province of Thailand. Data were collected using questionnaires consisting of demographic and clinical characteristics, as well as assessments using Beck’s Depression Inventory, Ruminative Response Scale, and Philadelphia Mindfulness Scale. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and Pearson’s Product Moment Correlation Coefficient.
Results The majority of participants were female, with an average age of 51.08 years (SD = 15.46). Depressive symptoms over the past two weeks were classified as minimal (33.3%), mild-moderate (25.3%), moderately severe (28.0%), and severe (13.3%). The results indicated a significant positive correlation between depression severity and overall ruminative thought and its dimensions (r = .562, p<.001). Additionally, there were significant positive correlations between depression severity and overall and all dimensions of ruminative thoughts (brooding, reflection, and depression-related items) (r = .441, .483, .592, p<.001, respectively). Furthermore, a significant negative correlation was found between ruminative thoughts and mindfulness (r = -.292, p = .012). However, no correlation was found between depression and mindfulness.
Recommendation Patients with major depressive disorder undergoing antidepressant treatment typically have high ruminative thoughts. The results of this study provide basic information for predictive research that could lead to the development of community-based therapeutic programs for patients with depression, aimed at reducing ruminative thoughts and depression, resulting in preventing recurrent depression.
