In exchange, however, FN communities tend to receive fewer direct cash transfers, tax benefits, and infrastructural support from the government. Examples include the James Bay Treaty in Northern Ontario and the Labrador Inuit Land Claims Agreement in Newfoundland and Labrador.

    5th Ikhtilaf Parliamentary Debate 2025 · Round 5 · 2025-02-08

  • This house regrets the increased power of the Barnevernet in Norway

    Infoslide

    Barnevernet, Norway’s Child Welfare Services, was formed in the 1950s with the goal of protecting children from abuse and neglect, driven by the belief that the state should intervene when a child's safety and well-being are at risk. Over time, the agency’s powers broadened as concerns grew about hidden or unreported child abuse andi international pressure for more proactive child protection policies increased. By the 1970s and 1980s, Norway expanded Barnevernet’s authority to address not just cases of abuse but also neglect, with the idea that early intervention could prevent long-term harm. Barnevernet’s powers include the ability to intervene in family matters if a child’s well-being is believed to be at risk. If the agency determines that the child is in immediate danger or at risk of harm, it can remove the child from the home, either temporarily or permanently. Once Barnevernet decides to remove a child or take other actions, the family can appeal to a court, and the court will review the case. However, the legal process is often described as opaque and complex, and many parents feel that they are not given enough time or information to fully defend themselves.

A single-payer health system establishes a single risk pool, consisting of the entire population of a geographic or political region.
