...articulate and explain ideas are keys to be able to share their knowledge to other health care professionals and influence others. It is also an acquired ability that helps nurses provide information to patient and their family on a mutual language. In fact, according to Kozier (2010), becoming influencing is “exercised through persuasion and excellent communication skills” (p. 540). As mentioned above, not all nurses are able to communicate properly. This paper will demonstrate how I can influence others into speaking out. My Message The subject of my message is about the Bill 10. This bill was recently passed by the government of Quebec on February 7, 2015 (National assembly, 2015). This bill is an “act to modify the organization and governance of the health and social services network, in particular by abolishing the regional agencies” (National Assembly, 2015, p.1). Basically, this bill will eliminate the bureaucracy section of the health care system and merging 182 institutions to 19 regional institutions in order to save money. However, this will affect not only the nurses, but also patients’ rights. I came about this subject when I mentioned the news to a fellow nurse. This news had been the main subject in conversations within nurses, nursing aides and nursing assistant in my institution. However, my fellow nurse, who worked for another institution, does not know anything about the Bill. I asked another fellow nurse and she heard people talking about it, but she doesn’t...

...Jean Charest was born on June 24, 1958, in Sherbrooke, in the Eastern Townships. His parents are Rita (born Leonard), an Irish Quebecer, and Claude "Red" Charest, a French Canadian.[2] He obtained a law degree from the Université de Sherbrooke and was admitted to the Barreau du Québec in 1981. He is married to Michèle Dionne (since June 21, 1980) and they have three children, Amélie, Antoine, and Alexandra. Charest is fully bilingual in French and English. Some have wrongfully claimed that Jean Charest downplays his legal first name John by presenting himself in French as Jean so as to appeal more to francophone Quebecers. For example, in the 1997 federal election, Bloc Québécois MP Suzanne Tremblay attacked Charest by saying, "First, let's recall who Jean Charest really is... his real name is John, that's what's on his birth certificate, not Jean."[3] Charest responded that, his mother being an Irish-Quebecer, it was the Irish priest who baptized him that wrote John on the baptism certificate, but that he was always known as Jean in his family and with his peers as well. He also went to French schools. Federal politics He worked as a lawyer until he was elected Progressive Conservative member of the Canadian Parliament for the riding (electoral district) of Sherbrooke in the 1984 election. From 1984 to 1986, Charest served as Assistant Deputy Chair of Committees of the Whole of the House of Commons. In 1986, at age 28, he was appointed to the Cabinet of then Prime Minister...

...BillOn May 28, 2009, Quebec's Act to amend the Pay Equity Act came into force. The Pay Equity Act was originally passed in 1996, in order to redress differences in compensation often suffered by persons occupying positions in predominantly female job classes due to systemic gender discrimination. However, what the Quebec Ministry of Labour was finding was that most organization had neither completed nor even started the process. So an amendment was required. The Quebec Ministry of Labour reported that one out of every two organizations had not yet completed or even begun its pay equity exercise. So a number of changes were introduced by Bill 25 to ensure compliance and broaden its scope. The changes include, according to FMC law office: * Making all organizations with an average of 10 or more employees in the calendar year subject to the Pay Equity Act; * An obligation for accountable organizations to complete the first pay equity exercise by December 31, 2010, if not already completed; * An obligation for employers to complete a periodic audit of ongoing equity every five years; * An increase in the annual budget of the pay equity Commission to provide better support to employees and organizations and finally; * Provisions for stiff penalties for non-compliers. “Employers must assess their status under the Act as well as the status of their pay equity plans in order to determine the steps to be taken leading up to the December 31, 2010 deadline.

...Industry Overview: Craft Breweries & Microbreweries Craft breweries and microbreweries produce beer in limited quantities when compared to large breweries (generally under 10,000 barrels per year) and usually distribute their beer within a limited geographic region. Craft breweries often specialize in specific styles of beer, and focus on providing customers a superior product, using traditional brewing techniques. Certain craft breweries sell beer directly on their premises, and are called brewpubs. Craft breweries are known to develop clever marketing strategies with limited budgets in order to connect with their target markets. Industry Overview BC In 2009, 209 breweries were identified by Statistics Canada and 49 of those establishments were located in British Columbia. However, an article by The Province estimates that by the end of 2013 there will be more than 60 independent breweries (this number includes microbreweries, nanobreweries and brew pubs). This increase in breweries is mirrored by an increase of 6.4% of microbrewery beer sales in British Columbia in March 2007 to 12.7% in March 2011. In the last two years, this number have only grown. In an article published July 3, 2013, The Province asserts that craft beer is almost at 20% of the market share for beer in British Columbia, while BC Business cites the Craft Brewers Association of British Columbia in stating that the market share is currently around 15% but that many brewers are experiencing sales growth...

...Abstract The journey of the thirteen former British Colonies toward a lasting union of Independent Sovereign States had officially begun with the signing of the Declaration of Independence. Fifty-six men, appointed by their fellow citizens of each Colony, meeting in Congress assembled, determined that the only logical course of action by which they could throw off the strong hold of tyranny was to declare the independence and sovereignty of the individual colonies, and join together in a partnership, for their common defense, the security of their Liberties, and their mutual and general welfare, against all force offered to, or attacks made upon them, or any of them, on account of religion, sovereignty, trade, or any other pretense whatever. In so doing, these fifty-six men, on the authority of the good people of the colonies, signed the Declaration of Independence, mutually pledging to each other their lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor. The youngest of those men was a man named Edward Rutledge from South Carolina. Edward Rutledge Edward Rutledge was born in 1749 at or near Charleston, S.C., he was the 5th and youngest, son of Doctor John Rutledge, who emigrated from Ireland to South Carolina, about the year 1735. His mother was Sarah Hert, a lady of respectable family, and large fortune. At the age of twenty-seven, she became a widow with seven children. Her eldest son was John Rutledge, distinguished for his patriotic zeal during the revolution. He was placed under...

...Royal commissions are a form of official inquiry into matters of public concern. Topics under these Canadian commissions include, but are not limited to, highly contested issues such as transportation, health services, immigration, and the penal system. This paper will compare two of numerous federal investigations that have taken place in Canada between the years 1868 and 2008: the Royal Commission on the Status of Women in Canada (The Bird Commission) and the Royal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples. Both of these commissions tackle matters of early childhood education and care, education, the Indian Act, economic self-reliance, special treatment, the renewal of a relationship, the private sector, and the criminal code. After a more extensive comparison has been achieved between these two reports, I will decide which commission has had the largest impact on our Canadian constitution. Before forming a comparison, it is important that I explain briefly how each of these federal commissions came before us: Prime Minister Lester B. Pearson instituted the Royal Commission on the Status of Women in Canada (RCSW) in February of 1967 (Royal Commission on the Status of Women, vii). It was launched as a direct response to a six-month campaign mounted by a coalition of thirty-two women's organizations and led by Ontario activist Laura Sabia, who, at the time, was president of the Canadian Federation of University Women (Encyclopædia Britannia). Sabia called a meeting of the coalition...

...U.S. Criminal Justice System Compared To Canada U.S. Criminal Justice System Compared To Canada The United States Criminal Justice System is used by national and local governments to maintain social control and punish violators of the law with criminal penalties. The primary agents responsible for upholding the law under the United States criminal justice system are the courts, defense attorneys and prosecutors, law enforcement officers along with prisons and jails. In joint efforts these agents work together to arrest, charge, adjudicate and punish those individuals found guilty of a crime. They are also responsible for ensuring that the accused are given a fair trial and that their individual rights are protected throughout the process. By law, individuals tried through the United States criminal justice system remain innocent until proven guilty (Criminal Justice System , 2011). The carry of firearms for protection and other lawful purposes is legal in forty-nine states, either under license or as a matter of course. Washington, D.C., and the State of Illinois are the only regions that both prohibit carry by statute, and neither issue a license exempting one from the statute. Open carrying of firearms without any licensing requirement is legal in thirty-one states. There is no federal law generally prohibiting the carry of firearms by citizens for protection or other lawful purposes. Some states' statutes prohibit carry in vehicles without a license; concealment without...
