Government Services Committee — Department of Children, Seniors and Social Development, as well as the one for education and early learning, was a priority for the department. So the LaMPSS program, as an example, LaMPSS work would have been pushed based on priority setting in the department. MR. HUTCHINGS: Okay. The Land Use Atlas, that's a service for Crown Lands, I think, is it? Correct? MS. C. BENNETT: Yes. Correct. MR. HUTCHINGS: With the move of Crown Lands to Corner Brook, does that change anything in regard to that project or where it will be operated from, the service or anything like that? MS. C. BENNETT: No. No change. MR. HUTCHINGS: Okay. — 8 May 20172017-05-08—

Government Services Committee — Department of Finance, yet we see an increase in senior personnel within the department. For example, ten years ago I believe there was one Deputy Minister and two Assistant Deputy Ministers. Today it is my understanding there are three or four ADMs in the department. I wonder how we rationalize that. We see a significant reduction in the overall personnel within the department. We now have approximately one half of what it was ten years ago, but yet the department enjoys the services of four Assistant Deputy Ministers and a Deputy Minister. MR. DICKS: Just let me respond first of all. There was actually two deputy ministers some years ago. There was a Controller General which was a DM position, that was Bernard Carew, I believe. Gilbert Gill was there I guess about ten years ago roughly, and there were three ADMs at the time, so actually we have one less senior executive position. The Department of Finance is a little different than most departments in the sense that you have people with very high skill levels. If you just look at the amount of money we administer and collect we are responsible for almost $3.5 billion worth of money that comes in each year, and the handling of it. You cannot really hire someone for $20,000 and say: Look, here is the money, now make sure it all gets handled and collected properly and so on like that. It requires a very high level of financial adminstration. If you compare what we pay our senior people with what you would get in a corporate sector we are far below it. Just check Newfoundland Telephone, for example, and see what the wages for a VP there are. Check the wages of the controller down at Fortis for example. Most of these are in the $200,000 range. We are not paying that to any of our ADMs who exercise far greater monetary authority. If you look at some of the figures, what we administering in sinking funds alone, or going to market, we require people to do very complicated analysis. We have1998-05-05—

Public Accounts Committee — Department of Business, Tourism, Culture and Rural Development, particularly under section 3.2 of the Auditor General's report. I'll just explain the process that we'll use here. I'll introduce the Committee, or the Committee will introduce themselves. Then I'll ask the officials to introduce themselves and the Auditor General's staff will introduce themselves. I'll have the Deputy Clerk swear-in the officials and then I'll ask the Deputy if he would like to do opening remarks regarding the AG's recommendation and the letter that we had sent in response. Then we turn it over, I'll ask each of the first, I'll start with the Vice-Chair to ask some questions. There are normally five-minute intervals, but if a conversation is going on and it's to conclude a certain question or point, I'll allow that. And then we go back and forth to clarify anything until we're satisfied that things are moving the way that has been outlined. It's not a confrontational process; it's an information-gathering process. At the end of it, the Public Accounts Committee does a report to the House of Assembly indicating if we're happy with the responses and that we support the move-forward process. And if we have any other recommendations that we'll send back to the minister and the department about how we feel things should change or the approach should be different than what's already outlined, to go from that process. At the end of it, I do ask the AG if he would like to have any comments about the information he's heard and the discussion that's gone from there. I'll start by introducing myself. I'm David Brazil, the MHA for Conception Bay East Bell Island. I'm the Chair of the Public Accounts Committee. MR. BRAGG: Derrick Bragg, I'm the Vice-Chair of the Public Accounts Committee and the MHA for Fogo Island Cape Freels. MS. P. PARSONS: Pam Parsons, I'm the MHA for the District of Harbour Grace Port de Grave and a Member of the Public Accounts Committee. MR. FINN:2017-06-22—

Social Services Committee — Department of Municipal Affairs has provided in the past to support that cost. They don't fund it directly but they provide it to I think the PMA or an association thereof. They submit their claims to them to help support the training. So it's from a number of different line items across both FES-NL and Municipal Affairs. MR. KENT: Madam Chair, just a question related to my colleague's question and to build on what Mr. Dutton just said. I understand that there's Fire and Emergency Services Training School scheduled for late May, early June in Grand Falls-Windsor. We've also been advised that's the only date being offered this year. That would imply a cut to the program. Is that in fact the case? MR. DUTTON: No. We normally have an annual school in the spring. Other years we've had it in Gander, Clarenville and other sites. This year we'll be having it in Grand Falls-Windsor. MR. KENT: So there have been no cuts to training for firefighters across the province? MR. DUTTON: No, there have not. MR. KENT: Okay, that's good to hear. Thank you. — 18 April 20162016-04-18—
