PolitiKit

Discussions with federal government officials concerning age discrimination against older adults, including addressing systemic ageism, implicit bias, and inequitable policy outcomes across federal laws, programs, and regulatory frameworks. Activities include advocating for a whole-of-government approach to dismantling age-based discrimination; integrating an age-equity lens into all federal legislation, regulations, budget decisions, and program design; ensuring meaningful inclusion of older adults in national policymaking; and promoting equitable access to federally governed supports such as Old Age Security, the Guaranteed Income Supplement, Canada Pension Plan, tax policy, national housing and income supports, consumer protection, and federal health and long-term care initiatives. Advocacy will also focus strongly on preventing frauds, scams, and financial exploitation of older adults, including strengthening federal oversight of banks and investment providers, enhancing enforcement against digital and telephone scams targeting seniors, improving federal cybersecurity and consumer-protection frameworks, and ensuring that federal agencies (RCMP, CRA, CRTC, FINTRAC, and OSFI) coordinate effectively to protect vulnerable older Canadians from financial harm. CARP’s work will promote greater accountability across federal institutions and regulators, while advancing reforms that recognize seniors as a diverse population who face intersecting barriers. Activities aim to build a culture of respect, representation, safety, and social inclusion for older adults across all federal systems.

CVCA also advocates for sustained and predictable access to capital, championing public-private co-investment initiatives. The Venture Capital Action Plan/Venture Capital Catalyst Initiative is still rolling out, matching private capital allocations to disbursed government dollars. CVCA continues to engage with industry and government to ensure awareness within the VC ecosystem and monitoring the flow of funds, underscoring the importance of Canada's VC Emerging Managers and their important role in allocating capital to riskier and underserved corners of the innovation ecosystem.

Crédits et/ou contributions Les armateurs locaux investissent massivement dans la modernisation de leur flotte afin de réduire leur empreinte environnementale. ASL cherche à instaurer des incitatifs fiscaux pour les entreprises qui font le virage environnemental afin de mieux les soutenir, par exemple par l’entremise d’un programme d’aide vers une transition énergétique.

ASL demande: L’expansion des services de dédouanement des conteneurs de l'Agence des services frontaliers du Canada (ASFC) vers d’autres ports des Grands Lacs et de la Voie maritime du Saint-Laurent afin de libérer le potentiel commercial et logistique. Des ajustements réglementaires et politiques permettant aux ports intérieurs et régionaux de traiter directement les conteneurs internationaux, éliminant ainsi les goulets d’étranglement actuels. Un investissement fédéral et un engagement opérationnel pour soutenir cette expansion de l’ASFC — une initiative qui s’autofinancerait rapidement et renforcerait la résilience du commerce national.

ASL porte une attention particulière aux politiques et règlementations qui affectent le commerce international, spécifiquement entre le Canada et les États-Unis. Afin de garder nos routes commerciales fluides, il devient crucial d'éviter les tarifs ou les règlementations qui agissent en tant que barrières commerciales non tarifaires.
