The 10-month programme provides an opportunity &nbsp;for 10 young Canadian university graduates&nbsp;to work and study on Parliament Hill.&nbsp; Interns receive a $22,000 scholarship and spend five months working in the office of a Government MP, and five months in the office of a member of the Opposition.&nbsp; The programme includes seminars and brown bag luncheons with parliamentarians as well as comparative study tours.&nbsp; In recent years interns have visited legislatures in Nunavut, Edinburgh, London, Belfast and Brussels.&nbsp; Interns complete a research project on an aspect of Canadian politics and governance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A Senate medalist for academic excellence, Robyn is especially interested in issues of social justice.&nbsp; His academic work in Kroeger College&nbsp;included papers on the history and practicalities of a basic income system in Canada, focusing on the experiment with such a system in Manitoba in the 1970s; on the differing legal treatment of aboriginal rights and title in Canada and Australia; and on federal and provincial housing subsidies, this last conducted for the Centretown Citizens Ottawa Corporation.&nbsp; His Honours Research Essay was an analysis of the changes to Canada\u2019s youth justice system as a result of the Safe Streets and Communities Act, the omnibus crime bill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Information on the Parliamentary Intership Programme can be found at: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pip-psp.org\/index-e.html\">http:\/\/www.pip-psp.org\/index-e.html<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>B.PAPM graduate Robyn Gibbard (&#8217;12) has been selected for the prestigious Parliamentary Internship Programme for 2013-14.&nbsp;
