2011 Valuing the Invaluable
Title:Valuing the invaluable: rethinking and respecting caring work in Canada.
uthor(s):Valiani, Salimah
Subject:Health issues – programs, services
Publisher:Ontario Nurses’ Assocation
Place of Publication:Toronto
Date of Publication:2011
Abstract:Valuing the Invaluable: Rethinking and respecting caring work in Canada, was written by ONA staff economist Salimah Valiani, PhD. It quantifies the penalty that is imposed on those doing carework in Canada. Valiani’s analysis links the growth of unpaid and paid overtime being worked by RNs to the nursing shortage and the undervaluing of these professionals. Between 1997 and 2008, the annual aggregate unpaid overtime worked by public-sector RNs in Canada virtually doubled, from 51,200 to 99,000 hours. The number of hours of overtime worked weekly by Canadian RNs has quadrupled since the late-1980s. This research clearly quantifies the extent of the nursing shortage that has had such an impact on nurses’ workloads and quality patient care.

2011 Taxes Common Good
Title:Taxes and the common good: a CPJ backgrounder on taxation.
Author(s):Pasma, Chandra
Subject:Social assistance – general|split|Social issues – social planning, policy|split|Social services – funding
Place of Publication:Ottawa
Date of Publication:2011
Abstract:CPJ’s public justice framework supports the notion that taxes are an important contribution to the common good. Taxes are one way in which we as citizens fulfill our obligation to promote justice and to respect the right of all people to live in dignity. For governments, tax policy can be used to foster justice, in addition to tax revenues paying for infrastructure and public services that benefit all and promote an equitable society. Public justice also supports a progressive distribution of taxes, and transparent and accountable decisions from governments on taxation and spending.
