LARRY ZOLF: Martin and ethnic groups More from Larry Zolf The Toronto Star headline on Martin's new cabinet was a bold one: "Paul Martin Leans to the Left. New look cabinet: former NDPer to get key health job." The Star noted that the appointment of former NDP B.C. premier Ujjal Dosanjh was "a nod to the left-leaning side of the ruling party which the Prime Minister played up heavily in the latter days of the election campaign." Dosanjh "with his extensive provincial government experience will be the main man at the Prime Minister's side when the premiers hold their big meeting this September to grapple with health care." What the Star didn't say is that the appointment of Dosanjh reflects Martin's unparalleled strength with Canada's ethnic groups, a historic first. Martin was determined to reward his loyal ethnic following in caucus and he has done so on a grand scale. Albina Guarnieri has been named minister of veterans affairs. Joe Volpe is in human resources, taking over David Collenette's position as the top political minister for Ontario. Joe Fontana becomes housing and labour minister. Joe Comuzzi is minister for Northern Ontario. Judy Sgro keeps her immigration post. Liza Frulla takes over heritage and Tony Ianno becomes secretary of state for seniors. Justice Minister Irwin Cotler is Jewish. Raymond Chan is multiculturalism minister. Toney Valeri takes over the key house leader job and the daily steering of the Martin minority government in the Commons.

102. AIDS & HIV Statistics For Canada By Year And Age The latest HIV and AIDS statistics for Canada, by year and age group. The proportion of AIDS cases with known ethnicity reported among white people http://www.avert.org/canstatr.htm

Worldwide search avert.org Positive HIV tests and AIDS diagnoses by year Year AIDS diagnoses Positive HIV test reports Adult male Adult female Total, all ages Adult male Adult female Total, all ages Total Trends in HIV diagnoses The annual number of positive HIV test results increased between 2000 and 2004, following a steady decline since 1995. This rise may be partly due to recent changes in immigration policies which were introduced in 2002. HIV tests are now part of the routine assessment for immigrants and most provinces and territories include these results in their reports. Women have accounted for around a quarter of adult HIV diagnoses reported with known gender in each year since 2000. This proportion has more than doubled from 12% in the period 1985-97. When interpreting HIV test reports, it is important to note that there may be a "reporting delay" between the time when a person tests positive for HIV and the time when the report is received by the Centre for Infectious Disease Prevention and Control (CIDPC). The statistics for recent years are likely to rise as more reports are received. Even if adjustment is made for reporting delays, the statistics still include only those people who have come forward to be tested for HIV. Willingness to be tested may vary between different groups of people. Trends in AIDS diagnoses Since the beginning of the epidemic in the early 1980s, there have been 19,828 AIDS diagnoses reported to CIDPC. The number of annual diagnoses reached a peak in the 1993 and has since declined. A major factor in the initial, dramatic decrease in cases was the delayed or prevented onset of AIDS due to highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART). Use of these drugs has become widespread since 1996.
