Social Services Committee — 30 March 20002000-03-30—
Government Services Committee — Department of Government Services is relatively new. It was formed when various programs and services were brought together from six other government departments in 1996. We provide a number of government front-line services to the public. To do that, we have a budget in 2004-2005 of $21.6 million and roughly 500 employees. We administer over ninety pieces of legislation. The department originally consisted of three branches: Government Services, Lands and Consumer and Commercial Affairs. With the recent restructuring of government, Lands moved to the Department of Environment and Conservation, and Occupational Health and Safety was transferred to this department. The department also took over responsibilities for the Office of the Queen's Printer, Printing and Micrographic Services, and the Government Purchasing Agency. We are working on legislation now to set up the Government Purchasing Agency as an independent agency to provide for greater transparency and accountability. The agency will report directly to me as minister. We believe that in order for the Government Purchasing Agency to accomplish its role as watchdog over government procurement, the agency must be in a position of independence. One of the original goals of the department was to bring a one-stop approach to the processing of licences, permits, approvals and inspections. This one-stop shopping is delivered through our Government Service Centres around the Province. Our staff perform inspections and enforcement on behalf of other government departments, including the Department of Health and Community Services, the Department of Environment and Conservation, and Municipal and Provincial Affairs. Our staff are responsible for ensuring public health and safety. They inspect restaurants, and test water supplies. They ensure the commercial vehicles travelling on our highways are safe. Workplace and public safety, as well as consumer protection, is a priority of the depar2019-04-05—

Government Services Committee — 4 April 20002000-04-04—
Social Services Committee — Department of Justice has, approximately, a $260 million budget. Some things this year that we will find throughout the Estimates: a $1.5 million impact from the ground search and rescue inquiry; there has also been $1 million set aside for the treatment, experiences and outcomes of Innu in the child protection system. We've also allocated $200,000 this year for a review of the Access to Information and Protection of Privacy Act . As well, you will see some capital expenditure on the RNC fleet. As of September 20 of this year, across the department we have 1,623 PCNs. Of that, 1,339 are full-time staff, 251 are temporary, 33 currently are 13-week hires and another 33 people are on contracts. These numbers do not include the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. One of the common themes, I think you will notice this evening as we go through the process, is variation in salaries this year and that variation in salaries is due to the 27th pay period in this fiscal year. That will have a department-wide impact of some $4.77 million. I would also like to note that there are very little actual COVID impacts tonight when you look at dollar figures throughout this budget. It's about a two-week impact of COVID, but I think what you will find, if you deviate into some more discussions around policy, which I'm more than willing to do, there will be some impacts to implementation of programs and other things due to COVID and impacts, obviously, on the court system and other parts of the department that are not reflected here in actual dollar figures but are reflected in other ways. With that, I will certainly turn it back to you, Mr. Chair. — 30 September 20202020-09-30—
Resource Committee — Department of Finance there are copies of those project claim forms or the money would not have been put forward. So it is a paper issue there for sure. MR. K. PARSONS: Yes, so it is a matter of getting things in order. Okay. I want to talk a little bit about I just heard Keith say about 500 acres to make it for secondary processing. How many farms do we have that are over forty acres now, producing? MR. DEERING: I am not sure at this point, Mr. Parsons, that we actually have any. MR. K. PARSONS: Okay. MR. DEERING: We have a few farms that have been operating for a little bit longer than most of the ones in the Grand Falls-Windsor region, and they have learned to through the various research and development that we have been doing, and advice we have been getting from folks who are growing cranberries in other jurisdictions grow more fruit on their farms. I guess they have decided for their own reasons and these are established farmers with diversified operations beyond cranberries. They already have the necessary equipment to sustain themselves and to achieve production with the acreages they have. Self-sufficient cranberry farmers who are into nothing else except cranberry farming, they will need to achieve the forty to fifty acres. So, the short answer to your question is I do not think we have any that have achieved forty acres, but we do have a few that have gotten fairly close. MR. K. PARSONS: I do not know much about the cranberry farming industry, only when I look at the commercials on TV and there are two guys stood up in the middle of a field up to their waist in water. Are there a lot of areas in Newfoundland where we can farm cranberries? Forty acres seems like a huge area to me. Is it very difficult to be able to have areas where you can actually do cranberries? MR. DEERING: There is an abundance of good arable land for cranberry production. I guess cranberry production has a lot of engineering associated with it. There is significa2014-07-30—
