A backbench MP who gets things done May 9, 2021
Liberal MP John McKay doesn’t give a damn whether he’s in cabinet or not. But he does give a damn.
In an extraordinary 24-year career riding Parliament’s backbenches and chairing committees in government and opposition, McKay has steered legislation through Parliament to make sure Canada’s foreign aid goes to poor people, helped shape reforms to Parliament giving more voice to individual members and nearly forced a reluctant Conservative government to create a mining, oil and gas ombudsperson with real power to investigate and expose Canadian companies that violate human rights abroad.
Development and Peace reconciles with two exiled partners May 7, 2021
“Two partners were cleared in early March,” Development and Peace deputy executive director Romain Duguay told
The Catholic Register in an e-mail. “Also, the remaining 22 are not monolithic. Each one of them is different and unique. If they have projects that they want to work with us on, they are free to approach us for funding and support.”
Lines of communication with those partners cut at the end of a three-year review of 205 partner organizations for “conflict with the Church’s social and moral teachings” have remained open, Duguay said.
“I believe that the 22 remaining partners, with whom we have not stopped conversing, have a pathway back onto our rosters,” he said. “We have communicated it clearly that all partners can come back once we make a few changes to our partnership criteria, processes and policies. Those changes are already underway and should be fully implemented

Ottawa, Canada, Mar 2, 2021 / 06:41 pm (CNA).- The Canadian bishops’ conference announced Thursday that after a review of organizations that receive project funding from their international development agency, it will discontinue 24 partnerships over concerns about compatibility with Church teaching.
“In examining the partner organizations, the joint subcommittee focused its work around several questions, including whether the partner supported anything contrary to Catholic moral or social teaching, whether its actions might mislead others with respect to the same, whether the partner’s professed values align with its actions online and on the ground, and whether the partner’s actions could undermine the credibility of the Bishops in Canada or in the host country,” the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops said Feb. 25.
