Its objects and purposes are to assist the Treasury Board in carrying out its duties under the Executive Council Act. The Office of Policy and Priorities was established in 2009. Its objects and purposes are to assist the Policy and Priorities Committee in carrying out its duties under the Executive Council Act. The Department of Industry was established in 1939 to promote industrial development. In 1941 its mandate was expanded to include government public relations and tourism and the department renamed Industry and Publicity. In 1948 it was renamed Trade and Industry. In 1971 responsibility for information and publicity was assigned to the new Department of Tourism and Trade and Industry was renamed Development. The department's functions were to administer the economic development policies of the Government; coordinate the development activities of the department with the development functions of other departments; collect and conduct analysis of economic and social data and conduct studies relating to economic and social development; maintain liaison with the Government of Canada and its departments concerned with economic development; maintain liaison with industry and with associations and organizations in the private sector concerned with economic development; and promote the trade and commerce of Nova Scotia both within and outside the province. In 1987 Development was superseded by the Departments of Industry, Trade and Technology and Small Business Development. A Provincial Treasurer to superintend public finances was first appointed in 1750. The treasurer was an officer of state and member of the Council and afterwards, like the Attorney General and Provincial Secretary, a department of government. In 1849 the office of treasurer was abolished and replaced by Financial Secretary and Receiver General (cashier). In 1867 these offices were abolished and the treasurer restored. From 1878 to 1946 the Provincial Secretary was ex officio Provincial Treasurer. In 1942 the first modern Provincial Finance Act was passed. In 1962 the Department of the Provincial Treasurer assumed responsibility for developing economic policy and was renamed Finance and Economics. In 1971 the department shed its responsibility for economics and was renamed Department of Finance. In 2006 the pension and investment services branch of the department became a separate and independent agency, the Nova Scotia Pension Agency. Finance has overall responsibility and accountability for the financial management of public money. Through its administration of the Provincial Finance Act, the department prepares the budget and manages the public accounts, maintains the public accounting system, manages the province's investment portfolio and public debt retirement, and audits the financial management practices of the public service. Nova Scotia's first modern Fire Prevention Act of 1919 established the Fire Prevention Board with authority to appoint a provincial officer called the Fire Marshal. From the beginning the Fire Marshal had omnibus powers to inspect premises, investigate fires and issue compliance orders. In 1940 the Fire Prevention Board was abolished and the Fire Marshal became Nova Scotia's chief fire authority. The Fire Marshal promotes, encourages and cooperates with any body or person interested in developing and promoting the principles and practices of fire prevention and the protection of life and property against fire, which includes promoting, encouraging and delivering public fire-safety education programs and training and supporting and assisting others to provide public fire-safety education programs and training; advises persons or organizations interested in developing or promoting the principles and practices of fire suppression, fire prevention, fire- safety education, emergency services and related communication systems and the delivery of those services and systems; investigates conditions under which fires occur; receives such reports as deemed necessary from persons authorized or required to inspect, investigate or examine; maintains a statistical record of all fires reported to the Fire Marshal and collects and disseminates information with respect to fires; studies methods of fire safety; and makes recommendations, including guidelines, respecting fire suppression, fire prevention, fire protection and the training of Page 5 of 250 09/25/2021 Government Administrative Histories AUrules RAD: 24.19A; 26.3A7.

The Fire Marshal also has the power and authority to enforce compliance with the Fire Safety Act and Regulations and the Fire Code and all other acts relating to the prevention and suppression of fires, including any codes and enactments incorporated by reference therein. The Legal Aid Planning Act of 1971 provided for free advice, assistance and services by members of the Nova Scotia Barristers Society to persons otherwise unable to retain lawyers to represent them in legal proceedings. In 1977 the legal aid program planning process culminated in the establishment of the Nova Scotia Legal Aid Commission. The commission is a crown corporation administering the Legal Aid Act and employing barristers to represent clients, free of charge, in all judicial courts. An applicant or client may appeal to the commission concerning refusal, suspension or withdrawal of legal aid; cancellation or amendment of a certificate of legal aid; or required contributions toward the cost of legal aid. The Fishermen's Loan Board was established in 1936 to administer short-term loans to needy fishermen and fishermen's associations in Nova Scotia. In 1944 the board was effectively re- established as a crown agency. In 1972 the Nova Scotia Resources Development

The Legislatures of all the provinces with the exception of Quebec and Nova Scotia are uni-cameral, consisting of a Legislative Assembly elected by the people. In Quebec and Nova Scotia there is a Legislative Council as well as a Legislative Assembly. For a detailed description of the Provincial Governments, the reader is referred to pp. 101-115 of the 1922-23 edition of the Year Book.

THE INFLUENCE OF POLITICAL LEADERS ON THE PROVINCIAL PERFORMANCE OF THE LIBERAL PARTY IN BRITISH COLUMBIA By Henrik J. von Winthus ABSTRACT This thesis examines the development of Liberalism In British Columbia from the aspect of leader influence. It intends to verify the hypothesis that in the formative period of provincial politics in British Columbia (1871-1941) the average voter was more leader- oriented than party-oriented. The method of inquiry is predominantly historical. In chronological sequence the body of the thesis describes British Columbia's political history from 1871, when the province entered Canadian confederation, to the resignation of premier Thomas Dufferin Pattullo, in 1941. The incision was made at this point, because the following eleven year coalition period would not yield data relevant to the hypothesis. Implicitly, the performance of political leaders has also been evaluated in the light of Aristotelian expectations of the 'zoon politikon'.

Author oj a treatise on Parliamentary Government in ElI[lI(///(l, «(,c. • OTTAVTA 1878. A CONSTITUTIONAL GOVERNOR, - There are few qu estions to which at the present time public attention is directed, in any part of the Queen's dominions,-of greater moment, or of more practical importance, than to det ermine "wh at are the proper functions of~ Oonstitutional Governor, under the Crown of Great Britain. Ther e is, no doubt, a general impression abroad, amongst perso ns who have not bestowed much thought upon t he matter, that the Governor of a, British colony, or province, is little els e than an ornamental appendage to our political system; ne cessary, to fulfil certain ceremonial duties; useful, to represen t the community at large upon public occasions, or as the mouthpiece of public sentime nt ; and of unquestionable service to society, in the discharge of a dignified and liberal hospitality, to be freely extended to whoever may b e a suitable recipient of vice-regal favour, without d is­ tinction of creed or party. But if this w ere all that we had a right to expect from a Governor, it would be quite insufficient to justify the pre-eminence which is attached to his office, as a R eprescn tative of the Crown. "With ou t underrating for a moment the incalculable advantages which society and the state derive from the fulfilment of the duties above en umerate d, by m en in exalted positions,-assist ed by the ladies of their ho usehold- such cere monial obser­ 'vances and festivities might, without much loss of dignity or efficiency, be assigned to Cabinet minist ers, and other prominent officers of govern­ ment, of adequate rank and fortune.
