Social Services Committee — Department of Health, plus there was a $2 million transition fund that was established in last year's budget for the department. So those two amounts combined make up what the 2009-2010 Budget column would represent. The revised estimates as well came from Health, and based on expenditures up to the point in time that we were required to submit the revised numbers. MS MICHAEL: Okay. I would imagine, and I do not know, and I do not know if you know, minister: Would Health have done that every year that you actually would have been able to find documentation? MS BURKE: (Inaudible). MS MICHAEL: No, you would not have. So, I guess that is what I am asking. When Health did this, did they come up with a document that they gave to you in the new ministry in order to come up with these two columns? MR. GRANDY: This would be the document. We do not have a line by line detail of those budget numbers, no. MS MICHAEL: So Health just gave you asked for figures and they gave you these figures. MR. GRANDY: They were produced in this Estimates document, that is right. MS MICHAEL: I see. Okay, thank you very much. I just wanted to ask that up front to sort of get a sense of where the figures came from. If we wanted to find out if there is more detail, we would have to go to Health and ask them if they had a document. Okay, thank you so much. Then I will just start with the line items. Obviously, there is not a lot I can question because of the fact of the new ministry, but when we come over to section 2.1.01 - and this is where it is curious for me - under 2.1.01, line 01., Salaries, the budgeted line item says $1,110,700. We have a difference between the budget and the revision. Not a huge one, but there is a difference between the Budget and the revision, $358,400. Then we have the new estimate, which is basically the same. Why the difference between the budgeted and the revision? Do you have that information? It is 2.1.01. MS BURKE: So you are asking w2010-04-21—

Resource Committee — Department of Fisheries and Aquaculture for 2005-2006. Before we get going, I will give a very quick overview of the department and the previous year's activities. First of all, I guess, just to touch on some of the economic indicators from the fisheries perspective, the volume of landings in 2004, we had a total of 326,000 tons. The landings value was $605 million, and production value exceeded $1 billion, just about $1.1 billion this past season. Peak employment, believe it or not, increased to 30,300 from 23,300 in 2003, roughly a 7,000 person increase in employment. Groundfish landings, from the resource perspective, declined by 13 per cent to 51,418, and the landed value declined by 11 per cent to $59 million. It is mainly due to lower landings for redfish, American plaice and turbot; partly in redfish because of quota issues and market issues, in American plaice primarily because of the market, and in turbot primarily because of quota again. The shellfish sector was again dominant, with a landed value of $503 million, represented 83 per cent of the total landed value, snow crab and shrimp continuing to be the main species. Despite the 5 per cent drop in snow crab landings to 55,636 tons, due to lower quotas, the landed value increased by 14 per cent, up $301 million from $264 million in 2003. Again, that was primarily due to a very strong market and continued low quota levels in jurisdictions like Alaska. Shrimp landings increased by 15 per cent to 100,167 tons in 2004 and that was, of course, mainly due to increased harvesting effort in the inshore sector and higher quotas in the Gulf fishery where we landed 144 million pounds of shrimp for the first time ever. The landed value for shrimp in 2004 was approximately $155 million. I am not going to go into a great deal of detail on the rest of it, other than to say aquaculture, just to touch briefly, in spite of some difficulties and continuing difficulties in the aquaculture sector, the pro2020-05-04—

Resource Committee — tourism cultureand recreation — 9 April 20142014-04-09—
Resource Committee — Department of Tourism, Culture and Recreation has, certainly as the name implies, three pillars, three lines of business. I will start first of all with Tourism. Our tourism industry is doing relatively well in the marketplace. While other provinces, especially the Atlantic Provinces, have been experiencing declines, we have experienced overall increases. I would like to provide just a snapshot of our performance over the last year and indicate with statistics how we have had some great successes. Non-resident visitors are up to 494,400; that represents an increase of approximately 5 per cent over the previous year. With regard to related revenues to these non-resident visitors, it is $365 million. Again, that is an increase of 8 per cent over the 2005 levels. Over the same period, the convention market, Destination St. John's reports there was a 9 per cent increase in the number of conventions and an increase of 13 per cent with regard to delegates. Cruise Newfoundland & Labrador, there were 105 port calls for the 2006 season, an increase of eight port calls over the 2005, and passenger visitors were down approximately 5 per cent. To capitalize and maintain this growth, we are implementing a product development strategy. We have launched a brand new Web site, and we are in the process of developing a new tourism plan. The tourism plan and the vision is being developed certainly in consultation with the industry. This industry is vibrant, it is enthusiastic, and certainly moving forward. You will note that there has been an increase of $1 million for our marketing in Budget 2007-2008, essential to the department expanding its marketing campaigns and driving further visitation to the Province. Culture, our second pillar, a very busy first year in implementing the cultural plan. We have strengthened our support for the Arts Council, enabling them to increase grants and introduce new programs. We have established the status of the artists working g2002-07-05—

Social Services Committee — Department of Municipal Affairs, through the Fire and Emergency Services - Newfoundland and Labrador, allocated more than $2.2 million for fire equipment in the Province. Government assisted a total of eleven communities in attaining new firefighting vehicles with final delivery expected in the fall of this year. Funding has been accessed through the Municipal Capital Works Program and with municipal funding through the different cost-shared ratio. A combined total of over $2.5 million was infused into the fire service to help to upgrade the fleet. In 2009-2010 Fire and Emergency Services - Newfoundland and Labrador received $500,000 to assist communities in replacing a number of pieces of fire protection equipment. This funding focused on personal protective equipment for our volunteer service including bunker suits, breathing apparatus and portable pumpers. Budget 2010 saw an increase in capital funding by $800,000 for fire equipment to help address the high demand for new vehicles. Fire and Emergency Services - Newfoundland and Labrador has also seen an increase in the investment in fire protection equipment effectively doubling the funding from $500,000 to $1 million to further enable and protect our volunteer fire service. In December, 2009 federal and provincial governments announced an extension of the gas tax program providing $124 million from the federal gas tax fund between 2010-2014. The extension provides additional funding to continue investments in water quality, waste water, community energy systems and transportation infrastructure. Municipalities have stepped up and made great efforts to complete work on their Integrated Community Sustainability Plan. The ICSPs will help municipalities access their long-term strategy goals and examine their viability and sustainability. Since the spring of 2009 Municipal Affairs have held thirty-six training sessions with 765 attendees on ICSPs, with approximately 70 per cent of municipa2010-05-11—
Social Services Committee — Department of Education's Estimates for the year that did not get completed within the three hour time frame that they had the other day, so there is an extra hour allocated this morning. It could be longer, if you need it, and it could be less if you do not need it. I hope the latter reigns. Having said that, we will ask the Committee to introduce themselves first, for the record. You have to turn on your mike for recording purposes, now and each time you speak thereafter. Then the minister will pick it up from there, with his reintroductions, and we will carry on. Deputy Chair? MR. MANNING: Thank you, Mr. Chair. Fabian Manning, MHA for Placentia & St. Mary's. MR. HEDDERSON: Tom Hedderson, MHA for Harbour Main-Whitbourne. MS M. HODDER: Mary Hodder, MHA for Burin-Placentia West. MR. K. AYLWARD: Kevin Aylward, MHA for St. George's-Stephenville East. MR. BUTLER: Roland Butler, MHA for Port de Grave. — 5 March 20052005-03-05—
