By videoconference
Canadian Group of the Inter-Parliamentary Union (UIPU)
The Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU) organized in partnership with Arizona State University a virtual panel debate about parliaments, democracy and COVID-19. The discussion was led by parliamentarians, researchers and civil society advocates. Michelle Bachelet, UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, participated with a pre-recorded message. Several panelists and participants highlighted the challenges faced by parliaments in shaping responses to the pandemic. Many also underscored the importance of striking a balance between the need for urgent action, protecting human rights, and parliament’s legislative, budgetary and oversight roles. Members of the Canadian Group of the Inter-Parliamentary Union (UIPU) who registered for the event include: Senator Salma Ataullahjan, Senator Pate, Mr. Spengemann, and Ms. Andréanne Larouche, MP.
