Premier Kathleen Wynne released the following statement today regarding her participation in the National Governors
‘We are at a critical point in our North American trade relationships. Now more than ever, we must reinforce the need for free trade and cross-border partnerships to grow our economies and create good jobs. Iwas pleased to join Prime Minister Trudeau at the National Governors Association Summer Meeting to do just that. Over two days, I have connected with U.S. governors to discuss our common interests and the need to continue working together to advance our shared prosperity.
Strong relationships with state governors are critical to developing meaningful economic opportunities for workers and businesses in Ontario. Over the past eight months, I have increased my focus on building and strengthening these relationships, meeting with governors, senators, congress people and U.S. trade representatives. The NGA meeting has been a valuable opportunity to leverage these partnerships, build new ones and ?nd more ways of working across borders to create jobs and support businesses. As a leader within North America, Ontario knows that our future growth depends on the economic competitiveness of the whole continent, so we are committed to working together with states and provinces to drive innovation, promote fairness and free trade, and fight climate change.
In Rhode Island, I had productive meetings with Governor John Hickenlooper of Colorado, Governor Mary Fallin of Oklahoma, Governor Kim Reynolds of Iowa, Governor Brian Sandoval of Nevada, Governor Matt Bevin of Kentucky, and Francisco Dominguez Servién, Governor of the Mexican State of Querétaro, as well as a number of other discussions with governors from across the U.S. We discussed several issues of mutual concern, including collaboration on trade and business growth, and opportunities to partner in the areas of skills training and innovation.
I also participated in a panel with governors from the U.S. and Mexico called Collaborating to Create Tomorrow's Global Economy. Our discussions focused on agriculture, manufacturing and workforce development. spoke about

"As Premier, I am committed to standing up for Ontario workers and businesses. see this the next step defending Ontario's interests and strengthening our trading relationships across North America.
While the renegotiation of NAFTA willbe a complex undertaking, it is a chance to bring the agreement into the 21st century so that it better reflects the way we do business today. Over the next 30 days, we will continue our work to identify opportunities that can benefit Ontario workers, businesses and communities, while building on the strong trade relationships we have established with our partners across the continent.
My government has been clear that we are not taking a wait-and-see approach. We are actively engaging with political and business leaders across the U.S. to underscore the critical role free trade and open borders play in North America's economic well-being. Most recently, I was in Rhode Island to attend the National Governors Association Summer Meeting, where I had productive discussions engaged with more than a dozen governors to highlight the close connections between our economies.
Ontario's message is clear -- free trade and cross-border partnerships drive job creation and economic growth for everyone. I am confident that our message is getting through. Our partners across the U.S. and Mexico understand the value of working together to enhance our shared prosperity and fuel an innovative, competitive business climate.
Ontario will continue to work alongside our federal and provincial partners as we approach the upcoming NAFTA renegotiations. We have a strong working relationship with Prime Minister Trudeau and his Cabinet, and at the

The total value of the Phase 2 funding is $11.83? billion with millio or 2.11% targeted for Rural and Northern Infrastructure The Rural and Northern Infrastructure Fund is dedicated to communities of 100,000 or less. The Federal Government is suggesting that itwould fund 40% of eligible costs and that provinces should be required to fund 33.3% of eligible costs The issue of incrementality still prevails - Projects that meet a stated outcome such economic growth, greenhouse gas reduction, or environmental quality improvements be proposed for funding outside of any eligible category list.

Glenn Thibeault, Minister of Energy, issued the following statement today in response to Hydro One's announcement
“Ontario is pleased to see today's announcement of the proposed acquisition of Avista by Hydro One, as is expected
to deliver clear bene?ts for the company's customers, employees and shareholders - including the people of Ontario, given the govemment‘s position as the single largest shareholder in Hydro One.
in particular, we welcome the fact that this proposed acquisition not impact the rates that Ontario customers pay. Neither willit have any impact on local jobs.
As the single largest shareholder in Hydro One, the Ontario government would bene?t from the company's receipt of additional regulated returns expected to begin in 2019. Those benefits will be above and beyond the proceeds already attributed to the Ontario Trillium Trust as a result of the IPO and subsequent secondary offerings.
The potential for transactions of this sort was always considered and communicated as part of the Premier's Advisory Council on Government Assets. in fact, one of the benefits of broadening the ownership of Hydro One was to unlock the potential for precisely this sort of transaction.
Similar acquisitions are increasingly common practice for Canadian-owned utilities, including Newfoundland and Labrador-based Fortis' purchase of Michigan-based ITC and Edmonton-based EPCOR Utilities’purchase of two U.S. water utilities. It is to the shared benefit of Hydro One’s customers, employees and shareholders to see the company strengthened and growing. Our government's legislation that enabled the broadening of ownership of Hydro One and strengthened the Ontario Energy Board's regulatory process protects the interests of Ontario ratepayers.

While Ontario ratepayers willnot be directly impacted by today's announcement, our government's Hydro Plan, customers and as many as half a million small businesses and farms. Our plan also holds any bills to the rate of in?ation for four years."

Quality child care is essential for families. Parents want peace of mind to know they willhave access to child care a location that is convenient, and that it willbe affordable for their monthly budget. Yet for too many, child care is unavailable, unaffordable, or has a significant wait time.

As part of the 2017 Ontario Budget, the government announced investments in new child care spaces and subsidies order to realize its target of providing 100,000 more children aged 04 with access to affordable, quality and responsive licensed child care in schools, homes, and communities over ?ve years.

Protecting Diverse Habitats Across Ontario
Ontario is strengthening the protection and increasing the rate of wetland recovery across the province.
Wetlands are an essential component of Ontario's biodiversity and are vital in mitigating the impacts of climate change by lowering the risk of ?ooding and drought, preventing erosion and moderating climate extremes. These diverse and productive habitats have many economic and health benefits, including improving water quality and offering excellent recreation and tourism destinations.
Minister of Natural Resources and Forestry, Kathryn McGarry met with wetland conservation partners today to speak Ontario's Wetland Conservation Strategy
Ontario is also working with Ducks Unlimited new partnership. This partnership willsee Ducks Canada chair a new committee comprised of environmental groups, industry, conservation authorities and indigenous representatives. As part of this partnership Ducks Unlimited Canada rehabilitate and improve wetland systems throughout southern Ontario, including important coastal wetlands.
Conserving Ontario's wetlands and fighting climate change is part of our plan to create jobs, grow our economy and help people in their everyday lives.
QUICK FACTS
The province is providing $1.9 million to Ducks Unlimited Canada to restore wetlands in southern Ontario.

Wetlands act as natural infrastructure, producing at least $14 billion in economic bene?ts each year for people in Ontario.
Wetlands are areas that have been saturated with water long enough for the soil to become waterlogged. This allows water-loving or water-tolerant plants to grow and thrive, thus contributing to the health of our biodiversity.
Wetland conservation includes protection, restoration, management and stewardship.

Discussions Focus on Direct and Indirect Payments From The Private Sector to Health Professionals
Ontario is consulting with patients, health care providers and the pharmaceutical and medical devices industries in order to increase openness and transparency for the people of Ontario regarding their health care.
Discussions have begun about current regulations and guidelines that govern the disclosure of payments from the private sector to health care professionals.
The goal of these discussions is to assess what additional measures are needed to increase transparency in health care, including, for example, publicly disclosing payments by private drug companies to health care providers.
Currently, there are restrictions on the types of bene?ts that can be received by health care providers, hospitals and researchers from the for-profit industry, but disclosure is not always mandatory.
The consultations are part of a broader effort to open up the health care system and make it more accountable and transparent, delivering on Ontario's commitment to Open Government and to becoming the most open and transparent government in Canada.

From: Elaine Taylor, Treasurer
Re: Cyber Insurance
Date: August 9, 2017
Recommendation: That Haliburton County Finance and Correspondence Committee receives for information the staff report on Cyber Insurance And further that it be recommended to Haliburton County Council that the staff report on Cyber Insurance be hereby approved and direction be provided to staff as requested.
Background: The County’s call for Insurance Request for Proposals asked for quotes for new Cyber Insurance coverage as part of the proposal. None of the proponents submitted a quote for Cyber Insurance. It was agreed at that time that Cyber Insurance would be quoted separately once needs had been determined. The County has since requested a quote for Cyber Insurance from its provider that provides coverage for the County as well as the four member municipalities as additional insureds on the same policy as well as a quote for Cyber Insurance coverage for the County alone. The Municipal Admin group has met and discussed the following.
Analysis: The County of Haliburton Information Technology Services (IT) staff provide the majority of the IT support and act as system administrators for the four member Municipalities. In addition, IT also has access to the majority of their data. The County of Haliburton data center hosts email for all four Municipalities, and hosts (or is soon to host) the file server and finance server for three out of the four Municipalities. The County is also responsible for IT Disaster Recovery planning.
Due to the shared nature of the Information Technology Services infrastructure, staff determined that there is a benefit in having all of the cyber insurance in one policy with one company as it eliminates finger pointing between insurance companies when the source of a breach may not be clear. Having one policy to cover everyone equally is the best way to protect against this exposure due to shared nature of the IT resources.
With shared infrastructure it is possible for a breach at one Municipality to affect everyone. In the event that a breach was caused by a member municipality employee and affected data belonging to one of the other municipalities or County, a single cyber insurance policy would protect both the County and the member municipalities. Each member Municipality would no longer require individual coverage once listed as an additional insured on the County policy.
.
Page 82 of 96 AGENDA ITEM #
Given that Cyber Insurance is a new field and is always evolving, the average claim isn’t necessarily accurate for determining the appropriate limit of insurance as claim costs can vary drastically dependent on what the cyber breach was.
The County’s insurance team has worked closely with the underwriter to determine appropriate limits for this program. The suggested limit options for organizations of our size and risk profile are $1million, $2 million and $5 million.
The County’s insurance provider expects that $2 million would be sufficient in the majority of claims scenarios in Haliburton. Both Dysart et al and Highlands East have responded that $2 million in coverage with a $10,000 deductible is sufficient for their needs. This would be an unbudgeted expense for both Algonquin Highlands and Minden Hills and as such requires Council approval.
Continuing to operate without Cyber Insurance opens the County and its member municipalities to a risk that could have a negative impact on all of our operations.
Premiums do not increase proportionally as coverage limits increase since it is less and less likely for a claim to reach those amounts. Therefore so it is advisable to spend a little more if possible and virtually eliminate the risk of having to pay a claim in excess of the limit. $1 million would be sufficient in the majority of claims scenarios in Haliburton but not all.
Deductibles would be paid by the municipality causing the breach when identifiable. Otherwise, the County would pay the deducible.
Financial: The County has been quoted the following rates for a “one policy for all” option: i. $1 million in aggregate – $11,446 deductible $5,000 ii. $2 million in aggregate – $16,537 deductible $10,000 iii. $5 million in aggregate – $24,388 deductible $10,000
This represents significant savings on quotes each organization has received for individual policies. A single policy just for the County alone is for $1 million in coverage is $7,115. Highlands East received a significantly higher quote for single coverage of the same amount.
In the event that a policy is purchased that covers the County and the member municipalities the cost of the policy would need to be allocated by one of the following methods: i. Allocated through the levy; ii. Allocated based on user numbers; iii. Allocated equally between all five parties.
The table below shows each of those allocation methods for the $16,537 quote: Allocation Method County AH Dys HE MH Levy $0 $3,332 $6,309 $2,437 $4,459 2017 Levy % 20.15% 38.15% 14.74% 26.97% Equally $3,307 $3,308 $3,307 $3,308 $3,307 Adj for levy $3,973 $4,569 $3,794 $4,199 Users $7,373 $1,929 $2,756 $1,585 $2,894 Adj for Levy $3,415 $5,569 $2,671 $4,882 User #’s 107 28 40 23 42
Page 83 of 96 AGENDA ITEM #
Required: Staff request direction regarding: i. One policy for all versus individual policies; ii. The insurance limit to be purchased, and iii. The allocation method to be used to share the costs if one policy is selected.

Re: Cheque Register
Date: August 9, 2017
Recommendation: That Haliburton County Finance and Correspondence Committee receives for information the staff report on the Cheque Register for July 2017; And further that it be recommended to Haliburton County Council that the Cheque Register for July 2017 with cheques, EFTs and PAPs totaling $1,446,687.69 be hereby approved.
Background: Cheques, electronic fund transfers (EFT) and pre-authorized payments (PAP) for the month have been reviewed by the accounts committee members subsequent to being distributed to the payees. This report is for your information. Payroll has not been included here as it forms part of a separate report.
Analysis: Per By-law 3781, every cheque shall be signed by the treasurer and the head of council.
Cheques that are $10,000.00 or greater are either: i. signed by the Warden and the Treasurer; or ii. stamped by the CAO with the Warden’s stamp and signed by the Treasurer.
All other cheques are stamped by finance with the Warden’s signature and signed by the Treasurer.
EFTs and PAPs that are greater than $10,000 or greater are reviewed by the CAO and the invoices are signed by the CAO.
Each month, the accounts committee reviews all of the invoices paid during the previous month and reports any anomalies to this Committee.
