Abstract
This essay discusses the reasons why Natives should not have their own self-government. First of all, if they govern themselves, they will not be privileged to federal funding in the realm of health care. Secondly, they will not be able to be part of the Canadian economy, which offers many economic benefits. Last but not least, in the context of culture, they will be hurt because they will subscribe to collective rights, rather than to individual rights. Moreover, giving Natives self-government will also violate the rights of other Canadians.

Abstract
This essay reviews a text by Arat-Koc that explains changes in Canadian society towards female participation in the workforce, (as well as inadequate arrangements for child care, and how this has produced reliance on foreign domestic employees in the homes of those who are able to afford them. Arat-Koc estimates that the demand for domestic workers, often from Third World countries, will increase, and without careful examination of the conditions under which these women work or scrutiny of the implications of the temporary work visas under which they are admitted to Canada. Foreign workers continue to fill the gaps in the Canadian domestic sphere although there is need for clarification of their safety, working in relative isolation as they do, within private homes, and the likelihood of exploitation.)

Abstract
This essay will argue that no genetically modified foods should be allowed on the market in Canada at the present time due to concerns about public health, the possibility of wider environmental damage, and problems with corporate influence over the regulatory approval process as it currently exists. Moreover, a normative analysis will demonstrate that from the ethical standpoint of utilitarianism, the government is negligent in adopting a Precautionary Principle in terms of the impact of its regulatory policies upon the Canadian public. This is reinforced with respect to the application of deontological ethical theory that requires action to be taken in terms of its moral value, and in accordance with universal laws.
