Supreme Court of Canada Hearings (English Audio)
Government of Saskatchewan – Minister of Environment v. Métis Nation – Saskatchewan, et al. (40740)

Supreme Court of Canada Hearings (English Audio)

The respondents, Métis Nation – Saskatchewan, and Métis Nation – Saskatchewan Secretariate Inc. (collectively, “the Métis respondents” or “MNS”), have long claimed Aboriginal title and rights (including commercial rights) to large areas of the Province of Saskatchewan. The appellant, Government of Saskatchewan, has consistently opposed the existence or recognition of such rights. In 1994, MNS (along with other plaintiffs) brought an action against Saskatchewan and Canada, seeking declarations that the Métis respondents have existing title and rights within the claimed land area, including use of resources for commercial purposes (the “1994 Action”). In 2005, Justice Koch stayed the 1994 Action, in response to a dispute between the parties with respect to the disclosure of certain documents, but granted permission to the MNS to apply for leave to lift the stay in future; to date, MNS has not applied to have the stay lifted. In 2020, MNS commenced a second action against Saskatchewan, challenging a 2010 policy document issued by the Province which had reiterated that claims to Aboriginal title and commercial rights would not be “accepted” by the provincial government, and would not be subject to the Crown's duty to consult (the “2020 Action”). This action remains ongoing. In March 2021, a resource company (NexGen Energy Ltd.) applied to the Government of Saskatchewan for permits to complete a field mineral exploration program on certain lands that fell within the MNS claim area. In May 2021 and during the early summer of 2021, Saskatchewan met with MNS to consult the Métis about the NexGen permit applications. In July 2021, the Government of Saskatchewan issued three uranium exploration permits to NexGen. In August 2021, MNS filed an originating application for judicial review of the decision of the Minister of Environment to grant the permits. In December 2021, Saskatchewan filed a notice of application for an order to strike portions of MNS's originating application for judicial review, relying on Rules 1-4(3) and 7-9(2)(b) of The Queen's Bench Rules, and arguing that certain paragraphs of the originating application should be struck as vexatious or an abuse of process, given that they addressed matters already covered by the 1994 Action and the 2020 Action. The chambers judge granted the application. The Court of Appeal unanimously allowed the Métis respondents' appeal, reinstating the impugned paragraphs in MNS's originating application. Argued Date 2024-11-06 Keywords Aboriginal law — Aboriginal rights — Aboriginal title — Crown's duty to consult — Civil procedure — Abuse of process — Aboriginal group bringing application for judicial review of provincial government decision to issue mining permits to resource company — Aboriginal group alleging failure to fulfill duty to consult — Provincial government moving to strike portions of originating application in light of two other ongoing actions involving same Aboriginal rights and title claims — Chambers judge striking portions of originating application, based on abuse of process doctrine — Court of Appeal setting aside chambers judge's decision — Whether it is an abuse of process for a claimant to bring multiple actions against the Crown raising the same legal issue in relation to the duty to consult — Whether Haida Nation decision allows claimants to bring duty to consult claims against the Crown based on asserted rights without pursuing the proof of those rights — Queen's Bench Rules (Saskatchewan), rr. 1-4, 7-9.

W wakacyjnych miesiącach mamy Wam do zaproponowania nieco inną formę podcastów: będziemy z Wami krócej, ale częściej. W serii trwających około kwadransa rozmów przyjrzymy się fundamentom modlitwy i najważniejszym fragmentom z tekstów Świętych Karmelu. Od początku września wracamy do Was ze zwykłymi, podcastowymi rozmowami. Dziś przyjrzymy się, czym była modlitwa dla innej karmelitańskiej Świętej, Teresy od Dzieciatka Jezus. I okazuje się, że trudno o coś bardziej naturalnego. Modlitwa rodzi się spontanicznie z tego, co w danym momencie przeżywa i podnosi ku Niebu – nawet, gdy wydaje się zasłonięte. „Dla mnie modlitwa jest wzniesieniem serca, prostym wejrzeniem ku Niebu, okrzykiem wdzięczności i miłości zarówno w cierpieniu, jak i w radości; na koniec jest to coś wielkiego, nadprzyrodzonego, co rozszerza mą duszę i jednoczy mnie z Jezusem”.

Link to bioRxiv paper: http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2023.07.19.549648v1?rss=1 Authors: Concetti, C., Viskaitis, P., Grujic, N., Duss, S., Privitera, M., Bohacek, J., Peleg-Raibstein, D., Burdakov, D. Abstract: Exploration is essential for survival because it allows animals to gather information about their environment. Rearing is a classic exploratory behavior, during which an animal transiently stands on its hind legs to sample its environment. It is widely observed in common lab conditions as well as in the wild, yet neural signals and circuits underlying this fundamental component of innate behavior remain unclear. We examined behavioral correlates of activity in hypothalamic MCH-producing neurons (MNs), a recently characterized but still poorly understood neural type, and found that MN activation co-occurs with exploratory rears in mice. Complementary optogenetic and pharmacological manipulations indicated that MN activity selectively promotes rearing via G-protein coupled MCHR1 receptors. Furthermore, we show in vivo that activation of the locus coeruleus noradrenergic neurons rapidly inhibits MNs and suppresses rearing through MCHR1-dependent pathways. Overall, these findings define a subcortical neural module which both tracks and controls exploratory rearing. Copy rights belong to original authors.

Spinal motoneurons respond aberrantly to serotonin in a rabbit model of cerebral palsy

R., Mena Avila, E., Dowaliby, L., Drobyshevsky, A., Manuel, M., Quinlan, K. A. Abstract: Cerebral palsy (CP) is caused by a variety of factors that damage the developing central nervous system. Impaired motor control, including muscle stiffness and spasticity, is the hallmark of spastic CP. Rabbits that experience hypoxic-ischemic (HI) injury in utero (at 70-80% gestation) are born with muscle stiffness, hyperreflexia, and, as recently discovered, increased serotonin (5-HT) in the spinal cord. To determine whether serotonergic modulation of spinal motoneurons (MNs) contributes to motor deficits, we performed ex vivo whole cell patch clamp in neonatal rabbit spinal cord slices at postnatal day (P) 0-5. HI MNs responded to application of -methyl 5-HT (a 5-HT1/5-HT2 receptor agonist) and citalopram (a selective 5-HT reuptake inhibitor) with hyperpolarization of persistent inward currents and threshold voltage for action potentials, reduced maximum firing rate, and an altered pattern of spike frequency adaptation while control MNs did not exhibit any of these responses. To further explore the differential sensitivity of MNs to 5-HT, we performed immunohistochemistry for inhibitory 5-HT1A receptors in lumbar spinal MNs at P5. Fewer HI MNs expressed the 5-HT1A receptor compared to age-matched controls. This suggests many HI MNs lack a normal mechanism of central fatigue mediated by 5- HT1A receptors. Other 5-HT receptors (including 5-HT2) are likely responsible for the robust increase in HI MN excitability. In summary, by directly exciting MNs, the increased concentration of spinal 5-HT in HI rabbits can cause MN hyperexcitability, muscle stiffness, and spasticity characteristic of CP. Therapeutic strategies that target serotonergic neuromodulation may be beneficial to individuals with CP. Copy rights belong to original authors.

K., Haghi, G., Castellanos-Montiel, M. J., Maussion, G., Chaineau, M., Durcan, T. M. Abstract: Cytoplasmic mislocalization and aggregation of the RNA-binding protein TDP-43 is a pathological hallmark of the motor neuron (MN) disease amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Furthermore, while mutations in the TARDBP gene (encoding TDP-43) have been associated with ALS, the pathogenic consequences of these mutations remain poorly understood. Using CRISPR/Cas9, we engineered two homozygous knock-in iPSC lines carrying mutations in TARDBP encoding TDP-43A382T and TDP-43G348C, two common yet understudied ALS TDP-43 variants. MNs differentiated from knock-in iPSCs had normal viability and displayed no significant changes in TDP-43 subcellular localization, phosphorylation, solubility, or aggregation compared with isogenic control MNs. However, our results highlight synaptic impairments in both TDP-43A382T and TDP-43G348C MN cultures, as reflected in synapse abnormalities and alterations in spontaneous neuronal activity. Collectively, our findings argue that MN dysfunction precedes the occurrence of TDP-43 pathology and neurodegeneration in ALS, and further implicates synaptic and excitability defects in the pathobiology of this disease.

R., Kawakami, K., Liddelow, S. A., Schoppik, D., Dasen, J. S. Abstract: Locomotion requires precise control of the strength and speed of muscle contraction and is achieved by recruiting functionally-distinct subtypes of motor neurons (MNs). MNs are essential to movement and differentially susceptible in disease, but little is known about how MNs acquire functional subtype-specific molecular features during development. Using single cell RNA profiling in larval zebrafish, we identify novel and conserved molecular signatures for MN functional subtypes, and identify genes expressed in both early post-mitotic and mature MNs. Assessing MN development in genetic mutants, we define a molecular program essential for MN functional subtype specification. Two evolutionarily-conserved transcription factors, Prdm16 and Evi1, are both functional subtype-specific determinants integral for fast MN development. Loss of prdm16 or evi1 causes fast MNs to develop transcriptional profiles and innervation similar to slow MNs. These results reveal the molecular diversity of vertebrate spinal MNs and demonstrate that functional subtypes are specified through intrinsic transcriptional codes.

Link to bioRxiv paper: http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2022.12.19.521056v1?rss=1 Authors: Weiblen, R., Robert, C., Petereit, P., Heldmann, M., Munte, T. F., Munchau, A., Muller-Vahl, K., Kramer, U. M. Abstract: Persons with Tourette syndrome (TS) show altered social behaviors, such as echophenomena and increased personal distress in emotional situations. These symptoms may reflect an overactive mirror neuron system (MNS), causing both increased automatic imitation and a stronger tendency to share others' emotions. To test this, we measured the individual level of echophenomena with a video protocol and experimentally induced empathy for pain in 25 participants with TS and 25 matched controls. In the empathy for pain paradigm, pictures of hands and feet in painful or neutral situations were presented, while we measured participants' EEG and skin conductance response (SCR). Changes in somatosensory mu suppression during the observation of the pictures, as well as pain ratings and SCR were compared between groups and correlated with the occurrence of echophenomena, self-reported empathy and clinical measures. Our TS sample showed significantly more echophenomena than controls, but the groups showed no behavioral differences in empathic abilities. However, controls, but not patients with TS, showed the predicted increased mu suppression when watching painful compared to neutral actions. While echophenomena were present in all persons with TS, the hypothesis of an overactive MNS in TS could not be substantiated. On the contrary, the TS group showed a noticeable lack of mu attenuation in response to pain stimuli, questioning the normal functioning of the MNS in empathy for pain situations. In conclusion, the MNS remains an important area of study for TS, but overactivity of the system could not explain echophenomena and social symptoms of TS. Copy rights belong to original authors.

L., Melechco Carvalho, V., Okamoto, O. K., Zatz, M., Foijer, F. Abstract: Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis type 6 (ALS6) is a familial subtype of ALS linked to Fused in Sarcoma (FUS) gene mutation. FUS mutations lead to decreased global protein synthesis, but the mechanism that drives this has not been established. Here, we used ALS6 patient-derived induced pluripotent stem cells (hIPSCs) to study the effect of the ALS6 FUSR521H mutation on the translation machinery in motor neurons (MNs). We find, in agreement with findings of others, that protein synthesis is decreased in ALS6 MNs. Furthermore, ALS6 MNs are more sensitive to oxidative stress and display reduced expression of TGF-{beta} and mTORC gene pathways when stressed. Finally, we show that IFN{gamma} treatment reduces apoptosis of ALS6 MNs exposed to oxidative stress and partially restores the translation rates in ALS6 MNs. Overall, these findings suggest that a functional IFN{gamma} response is important for FUS-mediated protein synthesis, possibly by FUS nuclear translocation in ALS6.

Brain activation by a VR-based motor imagery andobservation task: An fMRI study

Link to bioRxiv paper: http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2022.12.05.519096v1?rss=1 Authors: Nunes, J. D., Vourvopoulos, A., Blanco-Mora, D. A., Jorge, C., Fernandes, J.-C., i Badia, S. B., Figueiredo, P. Abstract: Training motor imagery (MI) and motor observation (MO) tasks is being intensively exploited to promote brain plasticity in the context of post-stroke rehabilitation strategies. The desired brain plasticity mechanisms may benefit from the use of closed-loop neurofeedback, embedded in brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) to provide an alternative non-muscular channel. These can be further augmented through embodied feedback delivered through virtual reality (VR). Here, we used functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to map brain activation elicited by a VR-based MI-MO BCI task called NeuRow and compared with a conventional non-VR, and MI-only, task based on the Graz BCI paradigm. We found that, in healthy adults, NeuRow elicits stronger brain activation when compared to the Graz task, as well as to an overt motor execution task, recruiting large portions of the parietal and occipital cortices in addition to the motor and premotor cortices. In particular, NeuRow activates the mirror neuron system (MNS), associated with action observation, as well as visual areas related with visual attention and motion processing. We studied a cohort of healthy adults including younger and older subgroups, and found no significant age-related effects in the measured brain activity. Overall, our findings suggest that the virtual representation of the arms in a bimanual MI-MO task engage the brain beyond conventional MI tasks, even in older adults, which we propose could be explored for effective neurorehabilitation protocols.

K., Haghi, G., Carrillo-Valenzuela, D., Reintsch, W. E., Chen, C. X.-Q., Durcan, T. M. Abstract: Motor neuron diseases (MNDs) are characterized by the progressive degeneration of motor neurons (MNs) from the cortex, brainstem and/or the spinal cord. In an effort to understand the underlying causes of this selective degeneration, a multitude of in vitro models based on induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived MNs have been developed. Moreover, different groups have started to use advanced 3D structures, composed of MNs and other cell types to increase the physiological relevance of such in vitro models. For instance, spheroids are simple 3D models that have the potential to be generated in large numbers that can be used across different assays. In this study, we generated MN spheroids and developed a workflow to analyze them. We confirmed the expression of different MN markers as the MN spheroids differentiate, at both the transcript and protein level, as well as their capacity to display functional activity in the form of action potentials (APs) and bursts. We also identified the presence of other cell types, namely interneurons and oligodendrocytes, which share the same neural progenitor pool with MNs. In summary, we successfully developed a MN 3D model, and we optimized a workflow that can be applied to their characterization and analysis. In the future, we will apply this model and workflow to the study of MNDs by generating MN spheroids from patient-derived iPSC lines, aiming to contribute to the development of more advance and physiological in vitro disease models.

Transcript:  HOST: Please welcome Caroline Casey and Neil Milliken.  Caroline is the founder of The Valuable 500 which is a leadership initiative to make sure CEOs buy into disability inclusion and that disability and accessibility is part of the global agenda. Neil is the Global Head of Accessibility at Atos.  His role is to deliver better technology for customers and employees, embedding inclusive practice into the processes of the organization. Neil delivers strategy and services working with a wide range of clients helping them to develop policies, processes, and technology solutions to meet the needs of their staff and customers. Today they will be discussing How to engage the C-suite to drive accessibility. They will touch on how to influence board and senior executives to recognize the business value of accessibility, the role of top management in defining and managing the organizational strategic accessibility plan for all aspects of the employee and customer experience, why KPIs matter and more! NEIL: Caroline, welcome, and thank you for joining us. Diving straight in, Valuable 500 does require this CEO commitment, but you make it easy for organisations to engage because you are not actually asking for too much to begin with, because you want to set the barriers to entry relatively low.  You are talking about board reporting and a single commitment, and ideally, most of the companies have at least one of these things that they are already doing.  That approach has attracted some of the world's largest organisations to join, which is fantastic, but what do we now need to do to raise the bar? CAROLINE: A few things with that one, as of this afternoon, just before I came on, we are at 394 companies around the globe, and that's companies that employ over 1,000 people, and we represent 31 countries, 56 sectors, and I think it's just under 14 million employees.  It is incredibly powerful.  So, the question is: What do we do with that power, right?  So, the Valuable 500 was originally established to get the attention and intention of the CEOs.  It's like the missing piece so that we could scale some of the great accessibility initiatives, leadership, and actually disability business inclusion that exist in a business, and the reason we're not seeing accelerated change, or the joining of the dots or the scaling is because the leadership wasn't necessarily aware. And you know, we had a stat that said that 54 percent of our leadership and our C-suite, around the globe had never had a discussion about disability. So, our job was to originally break that circuit with a critical mass of 500.  Now, we are nearly there.  So, our job now which we will announce in about a month will be how do we activate this community led unsupported by the CEOs and what we provided for them is a transformational change program and that change program will look at three internal aspects of the business that we want the CEOs to ensure there is movement on. One is around leadership itself, the second is about culture and the third is brand and then we are going to ask the community of the 500 to really use their collective influence to change the appalling situation around the lack of research and data, representation particular business and disability representation and lastly reporting because it is a dastardly state of affairs. So that is the transformational program. Do not think that now they are in the community and we've got them in, that the CEO no longer becomes accountable, they do, they must stand above the program of work each company will do. So, the CEOs often have absolutely no idea, or the leadership have no idea, what this, what really good looks like. And I would never push a CEO, with the exception of maybe a few, onto a stage. People like Christopher Panowyk, I'd ask you and who are you referring to and who are your partners.  And it is one of the reasons, the IAAP, are very much one of our partners in phase 2.  The businesses are looking to each other to know who you are working with.  And it is the right experience, it is the right people, and it is the right partnerships that we need to start highlighting, because then we will see the work being done correctly. NEIL: Like you already highlighted there are very few people in positions like myself, or Daniel A. Flurry, or with direct access to the CEO. That does need to change because the complexity of the programs that we are going to have to run if we will be successful is immense and requires this kind of really serious amount of corporate oversight and influence and power within an organization for it to work because it is great to give someone a title but if that is the title without real power and influence and ability to make stuff happen then the programs will fail. So, I think its… CAROLINE:   And the right financial investment. I cannot name – we've had three requests, in the last, since last Monday and I mean really big organizations and one is about the biggest event in the world. They came to us saying we really want to be the most inclusive and most successful event and Company, where do we go? The very first thing that we will push back on and say, “well number one are you prepared to invest in this? Number two, are you prepared to have the person to whom will run the program have direct access to the leadership? Because, if you are not prepared for those two things do not bother.” We must absolutely invest in visibility with the leadership, and you must invest financially, and you must develop your team right through the organization and that pipeline of expertise and you need to bring that talent into your business and that is where we make the link between employment and the intelligence in the business. Do you have that intelligence in your business, do you have people with different lived experience, who have skills around accessibility to help formulate the strategy and deliver for you? So, they are quite surprised and come back and say “OH!” You're like, “Ya, this is big move stuff, this is really different to the conversation we had before COVID”.  NEIL: A CEO sponsored initiative, where you've got someone that's appointed, who needs to be accountable and, therefore, an expectation to have some kind of measure of success and be able to demonstrate that success, so this is something that the SLiA program has been actively engaged in and what KPIs should we have internally for our programs, how do we measure these things. I think this is work that some of us has done within our own organizations, but we wanted to look at how we can harmonize this and there will always be sector by sector stuff that will differ.  What works in a tech business might not work in a manufacturing organization, but what are the KPIs. Also, not just how do we as accessibility professionals look at KPIs because we want to look at much greater granularity than the CEOs. What do you think are the things the CEOs are wanting to see and also, what can we educate them as to things that are important to see, rather than, because sometimes they might be interested in the wrong things? CAROLINE: You as a community the first most important piece for me, is you are the only people because you're the people the expertise needs to set one standard, honestly, and I understand we need to have the differentiation between industry, I get that, but it really is you guys coming together and you telling us how and what are the things that we need to see. I cannot tell you because it's not my area of expertise, but we can help bring you is this community, this enormous, very unique community, first time built in the world, is that will you tell us what it is, you know better. So, that is the first piece. The second piece from our side of the house is we have to really help business understand and this is where the leadership are listening. This is really about risk proofing our business. This is taking it from niche to normal. The horse is bolted, we are off, right now. What the CEO and board need to understand is the delivery or the effect, direct and indirectly, on the shareholder value of their organization and on their brand and on the CEOs personal brand if they do not get this right. Now, what we also explained to CEOs and leadership, we do not expect you to know it all. We expect you to admit you do not know it and go out and get the help and go out and invest in the advice. Like you have done in other issues. When that lands, Neil, that is the biggest barrier right now because there is still is competing agendas that a business has but the issue of accessible and inclusive design touches every aspect of every agenda and every function and every part of the value change and that is the piece the CEO needs to understand and what I am saying is the opportunity with this, in this community right now, is you are the most powerful people because of COVID and businesses now are wanting to avoid what happened with Domino, for an example. Before COVID and now with COVID they are like, well and that is what we need them to understand. The measurables, the KPIs you need to deliver to us. We need to open your head and you tell us what to measure.  NEIL: I want to talk a little bit about transparency as well. I think this is important to talk about, as you said, our successes, our failures. We are really proud within my own organization of our corporate social responsibility programs. We report on CSR, sustainability, decarbonization, and we do this in a way that is combined reporting. So that means, we do not just report our financial results we include all of these extra financial measures in our annual report, and that has a material effect on our share value. The stuff that we are doing, actually, really does influence the value of our company.  As a company that grows through acquisition, the stuff out in public now, talking about who we are buying next. The impact of these programs on our share value impacts our ability to grow. However, for the most part, all of these metrics and all of these indices, GRI, CDP, all of these major Dow Jones sustainability index. They have a little section about disabilities which should effectively, doesn't give you any metrics, just says “tell us some nice stories”.  CAROLINE:  This is one of my passion points. And you know this. This adage, what we do not measure does not get done or Paul Polman, who is the Chair of the Valuable 500, “what we measure we treasure” he says. I am absolutely incensed when people say, “oh but it's just so complex" and “it's just so difficult”. Internally we talk about representation of employees who have a direct connection to disability. We use the legislation as a reason not to. And, when we've seen companies like Channel 4, Microsoft, and MNS actually get around that with anonymous census. This is about intention and it's one of the tools that we will be bringing to the Valuable 500 community and asking them all to do is an anonymous census around this. We can hack this problem. The second one that absolutely drives me mad is how can we say we believe in sustainability if we don't believe in inclusion and how can you say you believe in inclusion if you do not do disability. The staff that are always buying around with, with the Valuable 500 is 90% of our companies claim that they are committed to inclusion and diversity but only 4% consider disability. And maybe that is a very low figure, but how do we know otherwise because we are not seeing any reporting and if you look at diversity and inclusion indexes, in 2018 Makenzie did the Global Report on Diversity and Inclusion. Was disability there? No. When you can touch with them you asked “why, why was it not there?” and they said disability is not a driver of business. Wow! That stuff really bothers me. When we did the Tortoise Index which was founded by James Harding, it was really hard but they put five metrics to begin with and that makes me excited because if we can get these metrics in, if we can start and I'm not saying they're all right, but if we do not put them in because it's too hard to get them all right, we are going to self perpetuate the problem. If you look at what the fortune companies are doing now with move to measure around racial representation we need to do that and we need to do and we need to do, and we need to do, so it is one of the big passion projects of phase 2 of Valuable 500 is there will never be a sustainability index, a responsibility index or a diversity and inclusion index that it is acceptable anymore, not to have disability metrics.  NEIL: And you know I'm fully behind this too because it is one of my passions is sort of the economic of accessibility and sustainability. They are intertwined. These are really important things. The examples set by the Tortoise Index is important. We need to continue to work on getting our influence as users and contributors to these other indices to make them understand the importance of reporting on these things and then that helps us benchmark and helps CEOs benchmark as well so not only does it actually give power to us as the strategic leaders in accessibility because suddenly the measure of what we are doing impacts on value of the organization, but we can measure ourselves against other organizations and then you can objectively say when someone asks you “who are doing this well”, you can say, "By these measures X company is doing it well, Y company is doing it well in this aspect." So on and so forth and at the moment, all we are doing is giving people anecdotes and I think we need to move well beyond anecdotes to evidence based stuff. HOST: The International Association of Accessibility Professionals currently offers six certifications. IAAP Certifications are indicators of your commitment to the accessibility profession, industry, and community. View the certification overview page on our website to learn more!  NEIL: We have a question which says we got the buy in at CEO level, but the rest of the C-suite wants to take a more measured approach, they are sceptical of business benefit, this is reflecting what we just talked about. So, how can we as the accessibility leaders help broker that and approach that bureaucracy and unblock the C-suite blockers? And I understand why there are these blockers and I have addressed them myself and there are an awful lot of initiatives going on in an organization, at any one time. Someone in the C-suite position is going to have lots of plates spinning, so it is really making, I think, make them clear of the benefit to them and shaping what their contribution can be that fits in with what their trying to do in the business so that we are not loading them up again or working counter to what else they are trying to do in the business. I think those are some of the things we can proactively do, but are there other things that you have seen that also work to melt what one would call the permafrost of middle management? CAROLINE: Firstly, in the shadow and the light of the leader, and of, leaders make choices, and those choices create cultures. It's not my quote, but I steal it every time. If the leader and this is why the Valuable 500 exists, one of the reasons, if the leader does not say I care about this then, the rest of his or her C-Suite is not going to give a hoot about it because they want to shine in the shadow, and the light of the leader, that, or in the light of a leader. So, the first part from our perspective for phase II, it is not the CEO, it is the CEOs responsibility but under each of those buckets of reporting, leadership, and culture, and brand, the CEO needs to give us access to the CMO, the CHRO, the CTO, everybody. The CEO is making sure his C-suite team, his leadership team will deliver for her or for him to make sure that the work gets done because you are absolutely right whoever is just said that. But the CEO goes yeah and then it goes to the CHRO it gets shoved under the table. So, the next phase of the Valuable 500 is trying to crack that, for the CEO, for her team, to make sure she has the support and backing of her C-suite. And I think that is really, really important because I have unfortunately seen when a CEO leaves office and you think you have this Valuable 500 company and then suddenly it's gone. And that is discretionary and that is what bothers me because discretionary is not strategic. The last piece I would say, once again for your skill area and for the strategic level which you operate, accessibility is not about disability. It is about everyone, and I think that is starting to land now so when we take it just out of the box where it has been tagged with for quite some time, disability and maybe stretched to age, it is now about everyone. It just has to happen, like health and safety has to happen in a business. It is that simple. NEIL:  I think there was a comment about McKenzie previously where they have not done disability as diversity, but they've done a lot on age. And there this both crossover and disconnect between how businesses and analysts view the aging society and disability. If we live long enough, we will all become disabled (Laughs).  CAROLINE:  That is true!  NEIL:  And we are all, for the most part, COVID aside, living longer so this will happen to everyone. When we have discussions at my organization with the public sector and governments, they are understanding this and understanding that they need to do stuff and plan for this. As service providers, as companies providing stuff, consumers, who are the people that have the money? It's older people, they are much more likely to be disabled, therefore yes, it is a business driver. What we do need to do is make that mental connection for businesses between age and disability and business opportunity. I think that there is some work to do there, but I think that is progressing somewhat. I think the work that you are doing and that the work with the ratings agencies and a lot of the marketing work, it feels very different now to how it felt two years ago. There is engagement, there is an understanding that it has to be done, and it is almost like watching people that hadn't engaged before suddenly roll their sleeves up is enormously gratifying. I think, it's not just happening in my organization or in the Microsoft's, or the Salesforces, but there are more and more organizations taking those steps, recognizing that it is something that they can no longer pay lip service to and ignore. There is legislative reasons for doing it, there is profitability reasons for doing it, there is organization, cultural reasons, lots and lots of reasons but it has become compelling and they have realized that.  On the other side of that, that is actually driving a different issue which is a skills gap. It is something that IAAP is here to help address but there is a real shortage of skills in the people that can run the organizational programs. A bit like we had the real shortage of skills in people that could run sustainability programs 10 years ago and actually finding people that have the right balance of both technical skills and the ability to navigate complex organizations. These big organizations that are your members, are very complex. It is difficult and even at a lower level finding the technical skills to get the people to do the technical expert work, is a challenge. How can we engage with the wider community both in education, and vocational training to start bringing up the skills? Some of them will require specialists but we also need to do it in the wider education field. Is that something that CEOs can influence? Or is that something that we need to go to our government partners?  CAROLINE:  Of course it is, did we not see this happen before? When we started seeing the digital revolution happened and you saw companies like the big Googles in this world and the big Microsoft in the world, invest in the skills of countries and their education systems. I'm living in a small country, we have some of the biggest tech giants in the world (Laughs) And have very, very big premises and very big offices here for lots of reasons. Therefore, that is the way in which they were able to say that this is a pool of talent, do they have the skills and training that we will need to give them jobs? So yes absolutely! This is my point. Who are the most powerful leaders of the planet right now? It is not politicians, right? We know that. The most powerful leaders on this planet are business leaders, let's be honest, when they come together, they can actually make anything happen.  We know the technology is there and we certainly know the intelligence is there, the desire is there for so much of this. The biggest opportunity and the biggest barrier to any of this is the 6 inches between our ears. That is about accessibility. It is the intention and the will to do this and to see it as a long game, to see the full pipeline, Neil, you are absolutely right. If every business, right now said “OK, this is it, front and centre, we're going to invest in it”. Do they have the people to fill the positions? Do they have people coming up to fill the positions? I do not imagine they would. It really is the influence and powers in the hands of business, and they do affect policy, they do affect the UN, look at UN Global Compact and you think about that. They do have the chance to affect the education system, and the pipeline coming up and they should be investing in that pipeline and that should be where their philanthropy is and many of them do that.  NEIL:  The question from Rob as well which is saying he is four rungs away from a CEO but what approach would you take to getting involved, to be able to advocate?  First of all, the stuff that we just talked about but maybe you go and find the person that you know influences them. Do you think you have a better chance of having a conversation with their number 2 or their direct management team that can influence them and start building that relationship? I know I had to go through multiple tiers of relationship building in my organization to be able to get to the point where I could go and directly talk with the CEO. And now we directly report to the board. And that did take time.  CAROLINE:  And not look like a threat to someone else.  NEIL:  Absolutely, you have to frame it in a positive way. This is of mutual benefit; it always has to be about mutual benefit. Risk reduction. You can talk about the penalties and risk but it is about doing this reduces the risk, it is a benefit to us as an organizations, it also can be profitable, it will make us more usable, blah, blah, blah but framed it in a language and wrap it in the topic that is important to that individual and that might be different from the person in the leadership team that reports to the CEO than the CEO but once you start having the conversation with that person they can tell you what floats the boat of the CEO and that's how you start progressing those conversations. It is definitely a long game, and you have to be prepared for a few knock backs along the road. That said, as Caroline previously stated we are in a far, far better position at the beginning of 2021 than we were even midway through 2020. Things have changed, there is a recognition amongst leadership of humanity of their workforce, of vulnerability of their colleagues. The understanding of the need for flexibility so businesses are having to invest in changes and infrastructure. Now is the time to strike and say, "While you are doing this make it accessible. We can help you be more effective; we can help you engage your employees remotely." Listen to the language talked and play it back to them with an accessibility message.   CAROLINE: The other thing I would say is don't underestimate the leaders of all these businesses trying to do the simple thing of going on these platforms whether they have a visual impairment, a hearing impairment, a dexterity impairment, which most of them don't, they are struggling, and for the first time they are going oh, ask them to take off their glasses and do it you have a whole other thing. There is kind of an experience our leaders maybe not have had to have before and that is where you can fill that gap, that is the sweet spot. Go in with the confidence. You have something to offer and not just as a quick fix but strategically to offer this business and it has been proven because the businesses that had already invested in this were the businesses that thrived throughout COVID.  NEIL:  Can board members also influence CEOs?  CAROLINE:  What I would say, is board members are probably in one of the most unique positions. If you are a board member, sitting on a board saying “Where do we stand on accessibility? Have we done an accessibility audit? What is our performance around disability business inclusion?” No CEO can tell you that they are not going to give you that information. That is a board member's right. So, yes, use it well.  NEIL:  I can absolutely tell you that our board do influence our CEO. It gets back to me that they have been asking questions, so if you happen to have a relationship, by all means develop relationships with board members too, find your path, it will be different for each business but absolutely, yes, if the board is interested in this topic make use of it because they absolutely will influence your CEO.  CAROLINE:  Can I take that from you, because having sat on boards if I ever get an email from anyone in the company as a board member, I have to bring that to the CEO and I would, so that is very good play, thank you.  NEIL:  I think it has been great fun chatting and I hope everyone in the audience has found this useful. I hope that you will join us on our journey towards strategic leadership.  HOST:  The International Association of Accessibility Professionals understands how important it is to have reliable resources to turn to when developing your skills as an accessibility professional. We provide several resources in a variety of formats to both members and non-members.

If you've been in the fire protection industry long enough, you'll recognize that a mass notification system (MNS) is a relatively recent addition to NFPA 72. But how did its inclusion initially come about, and what role does risk analysis play in the design of an MNS? In this episode, Rodger Reiswig speaks with Wayne Moore, P.E., CFPS, SET, FSFPE, F.NSPE, vice president of Jensen Hughes, a fire protection engineering and code-consulting firm. Some of the topics to be covered include how: - The Department of Defense, which had been using MNS since the 1996 Khobar Towers bombing in Saudi Arabia, requested that it be added to NFPA 72 in 2007 - Risk analysis, MNSs, and emergency response plans are unique to a particular building, which sets them apart from other areas of fire protection that must conform to “absolute” codes - The MNS can be allowed to override the fire alarm signal – but only under certain circumstances Visit www.johnsoncontrols.com/fire-detection to learn more about fire detection solutions from Johnson Controls ====================================================================================== This podcast was recorded and is being made available by Johnson Controls (together with its affiliates and its and their employees, “JCI”) solely for informational purposes.
