    TAGS: KPAO OIIP CA
    SUBJECT: FY 2006 U.S. SPEAKER REQUEST:  Former Congressmen
    James Greenwood (R-Pennsylvania) and Bob Carr (D-Michigan)

    ¶1.   PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: Post requests two former U.S.
    Congressmen, one Republican and one Democrat, as U.S.
    Speakers for a program to include Carleton University
    faculty and students in Ottawa, Parliamentary staff, and
    government officials, media and academics in other Canadian
    cities via videoconference.  The two-day program, February 6-
    8, co-sponsored with the U.S.-based Congress to Campus
    Program, will include seminars with students and faculty at
    Carleton University; meetings with government officials and
    staffers; a reception hosted by Ambassador Wilkins; and
    schedules permitting, a DVC with audiences at some of the
    seven U.S. Consulates across Canada.
    ¶2.   TIME FRAME: February 6-9, 2006 (international travel on
    Feb 6 and Feb 9)
    ¶3.   AUDIENCE: students, faculty, government officials,
    politicians, parliamentary staffers, media.

    ¶4.   PROPOSED TOPICS AND TYPES OF EVENTS:

    Topics:  The U.S. Policy-making Process; The U.S.
    bipartisan, bicameral legislature and its promotion of
    active debate on public policy; U.S.-Canada Relations:
    Understanding differences in governance styles.

    Formats:  University seminars with political science,
    history, economics, and journalism students; campus lecture;
    informal discussion with Parliamentary staffers and interns;
    interactive video conference with invited audiences in
    Ottawa and participating U.S. Consulates across Canada (15-
    minute introductory remarks followed by round-robin
    questions and answers).

    ¶5.   PURPOSE:

    Canada's Ambassador to the United States recently made
    public reference to the U.S. system of government as
    "dysfunctional" in describing the perceived slowness and
    ineffectiveness of U.S.G. actions that affect Canada.  This
    illustrates one of the fundamental areas in which Canadians
    think they understand their nearest neighbors, but in fact
    do not.  Canadians are long accustomed to a system of
    parliamentary democracy.  The Prime Minister, assuming
    his/her party holds a majority, faces little opposition
    within the House of Commons and little dissent from the
    appointed Senate or the court system.  Assuming that the
    U.S. balance of powers system works in a similar way, it is
    difficult for Canadians to understand why, for example,
    President Bush could not immediately follow through on the
    administration's stated intent to reopen U.S. borders to
    Canadian beef; or why, despite the administration's
    opposition and the findings of a WTO panel, the
    administration could not simply revoke the Byrd Amendment.

    The proposed program with two former Congressmen from the
    two major U.S. political parties would offer Canadian
    students, politicians, officials, political aides and
    journalists a rare opportunity to gain the Congressmen's
    inside perspectives on the workings of American democracy.
    Post expects their visit to result in new insights and a new
    context for understanding the complexity of checks and
    balances; and a fuller appreciation of the vitality of the
    U.S. political system, including the opportunity for
    thorough debate of issues that characterize the American
    political process.  Audiences will include Canadian
    academics, students and journalists, who are some of our
    most prominent critics; as well as politicians and staffers,
    who will be forming a new national government after
    elections on January 23.

    This program supports three MPP goals:  Close Ties with
    Allies and Friends, Economic Prosperity, and Mutual
    Understanding.

    ¶6. TYPE OR NAME OF SPECIALIST REQUIRED:
    The post proposes this program in coordination with Carleton
    University in Ottawa, renowned for its strong programs in
    international relations and journalism, and the U.S.-based
    Congress to Campus Program, a partnership between the
    Stennis Center, the Center for Democracy and Citizenship
    (CDC) at the Council for Excellence in Government, and the
    U.S. Association of Former Members of Congress. The Program
    traditionally sends former members to U.S. college campuses
    to educate the next generation about American government,
    politics and public affairs and about bipartisan
    cooperation.  Recent forays into international exchanges
    have proved very worthwhile, as reported by U.S. Consulate
    Toronto colleagues, who co-hosted members visiting the
    University of Toronto last year.
    Charles Clontz, Program Director at the Congress to Campus
    Program, has recruited Congressmen Greenwood (Republican,
    Pennsylvania) and Carr (Democrat, Michigan) for this
    program.  Clontz can be reached by e-mail at
    cclonts@EXCELGOV.org.
