Social Services Committee — Department of Health started one year prior to this fiscal year on a three-year planning cycle in its budgetary exercise, based on a commitment that government gave in the 1996-1997 fiscal Budget that Health would be given a flat line operational budget for a period of three years. It would be done so that it would enable the health care system to respond to the significant degree of restructuring that had taken place within the health care sector over the past two or three years prior to. This is the second year of the three-year planning cycle we are in. The only significant, I guess, caveat, that was placed within the three-year budget time frame, was that we live within it, but having said that, we had the latitude or the flexibility of adjusting the budget as would be necessary as we went through that three-year planning cycle, because, obviously, we were making significant changes in the system. I refer to an ongoing and greater emphasis in the area, for instance, of community health as opposed to institutional health care, and to some extent you will see that reflected in some of the changes in the line items in the budget as we go forward. Notwithstanding the commitment of a flat line budget last year, when all other departments were taking significant reductions, this year the health budget was again increased, not by a large amount vis--vis its total budget, but certainly in absolute dollars, there was a fair degree put back into health care or added to the operational side of the health care budget in addition to, of course, some things in the capital side of it and so, this year again, while all departments were taking reductions in expenditures, health care, because it is of such a significant priority for government and the people of the Province, received some additional funding for very specific areas that were announced in the Budget, and I will not get into repeating them. You may want to chat about them as we go through1997-04-28—

Social Services Committee — Department of Seniors, Wellness and Social Development was established in September of 2014. For 2016-17 the department has a total budget of just over $20 million and a total of 41 full-time employees. The department has dedicated focus and efforts in the areas of seniors, adult protection, wellness, recreation and sport, poverty reduction and the inclusion of persons with disabilities. Seniors, Wellness and Social Development takes a proactive, preventative and integrated approach to living well and living more equitably and inclusively in the province by addressing social and economic factors from the earliest stages of life and across the lifespan. Seniors; with respect to seniors we aim to promote healthy aging across the lifespan and foster a healthy society which honours, listens to, and includes seniors in building stronger, more dynamic communities. We are also committed to protecting adults who are at risk of abuse and neglect. In the area of wellness we provide leadership and focus and progressive measures to help all people in the province adopt healthier habits and more active lifestyles, from birth to seniors' years through initiatives which provide support and reduce barriers to healthy, active living. To further strengthen our work in this area work is now underway on the development of a new wellness plan which will further encourage all Newfoundlanders and Labradorians to work to improve their personal health and wellness and that of their communities. We are also focused on reducing, alleviating and preventing poverty and ensuring that every citizen is provided the opportunity to share fully in our society and economy. As was noted in the Budget Speech, our government aims to ensure the impact of the fiscal reality is lessened on the most vulnerable, including low-income seniors, individuals, families and persons with disabilities. The Budget Speech also highlighted the fact that, as a province, we must foster a support2016-04-20—

Resource Committee — Department of Innovation, Trade and Rural Development is being allocated more than $45 million in 2006-2007 to allow it to implement its plans for economic growth and job creation throughout the Province. I would like to highlight a few of our initiatives for this year. The department recently launched a provincial Innovation Strategy to make Newfoundland and Labrador more competitive internationally. We have allocated $20 million over the next four years for the Innovation Strategy. Of the four-year $20 million investment, approximately $3 million has been allocated this year for a commercialization program designed to bridge the gap companies face in moving from new technologies to true commercial activity. This year we have also allocated approximately $2 million for an Innovation Enhancement Program to assist not-for-profit organizations that support innovation by enhancing research and development capacity. Last year we announced a Comprehensive Regional Diversification Strategy for the Province. The plan builds upon the strengths of our regions and is complemented by government programs that will help develop those strengths so that they result in long-term sustainable employment for the people of this Province. Two of those programs are the Small and Medium Size Enterprise Fund and the Regional/Sectoral Diversification Fund. Last year government placed $10 million into the SME Revolving Fund to provide business financing to small and medium sized businesses. The financing will allow eligible businesses the opportunity to start up and expand, thereby helping them create and retain long-term sustainable jobs. We made an additional injection of $8 million in this year's budget. This year government allocated $5 million to Regional Sectoral/Diversification Fund to provide non-repayable contributions for economic development initiatives that address regional and sectoral development, diversification and innovation. The $5 million is in additio2005-06-04—

Social Services Committee — Department of Human Resources and Employment, along with my officials, to try to respond to questions that may be raised by the members of your Committee relative to the Budget Estimates for our department. Just to give you a brief overview with regard to the operations of the department: as you would all be aware, and I know most of you have had occasion to deal directly with the department, the Department of Human Resources and Employment is mandated to provide programs and services to low income individuals and families in helping them meet their financial needs. In addition, the department also offers a range of career and employment services, with special emphasis on assisting persons facing barriers to labor market participation to acquire the skills, expertise and supports needed to obtain employment. For the upcoming fiscal year 2001-2002, the department has a budget of approximately $262 million, with a staff complement of some 600 providing programs to clients from forty-eight district offices located throughout the Province. During the fiscal year 2000-2001, on average, the department served approximately 54,000 income-support clients monthly. In addition, during the year, we assisted approximately 3,500 clients with labour market programming. The department is divided into three branches: the Corporate Services Branch, which provides services such as finance, human resources, social services appeals board; the Programs and Regional Services Branch, which provides clients with employment and career services and income support; and the Policy and Planning Branch, which assists in identifying and improving client services. Since April 1, 1997, when the former Department of Social Services split to become Human Resources and Employment, HRE has been working on people development, an important part of economic development. I am sure that you would be aware as well that the Minister of Human Resources and Employment is also the lead2001-03-26—
