Charlottetown PE C.P 2000, Charlottetown PE Canada ClA 7N8 Canada ClA 7N8 February 12, 2021 Honourable Colin LaVie Speaker of the Legislative Assembly 197 Richmond Street, Charlottetown Dear Mr. Speaker: I have the pleasure of presenting my first Annual Report for the Legislative Assembly of Prince Edward Island for the period January 1, 2019 to December 31, 2019. This annual report highlights our organizational achievements for the year. This has been significant year for the Legislative Assembly. An election was held on May 4, 2019 that resulted in the 66th General Assembly and a minority government - the first one in modern history in Prince Edward Island. With three relatively large caucuses represented in the legislature, many adjustments to policies and practices had to be made to facilitate operations. The Office of the Legislative Assembly has ensured that all Members of the Legislative Assembly are supported in this new environment. As you know, Mr. Speaker, this past year Charles MacKay retired after 33 years of service to the Legislative Assembly. He left behind immeasurable contributions and always worked to achieve excellence for the legislature. We wish Charlie all the best for a well-deserved retirement. As I continue to gain experience in this role, I have appreciated the support of you Mr. Speaker and the Members of the Standing Committee on Legislative Tel/Tel.: 902 368 5970 www.assemblype.ca Fax/Telec.: 902 368 5175 2 Management in dealing with matters necessary for the operation of the Legislative Assembly. I am proud of what our team has accomplished together. Their professionalism and dedication make the Legislative Assembly of Prince Edward Island a vibrant organization that excels as a modern day parliamentary institution. Jose h Jeffrey Clerk of the Legislati Assembly and Secretary, PEI Bra of the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association 3 Prince Edward Island’s government was not always led by one House of elected Province to Colony From representatives; for roughly the first 120 years of Island governance, there were two legislative bodies, the Legislative Council and the House of Assembly. A two-body Legislature is known as a bicameral Legislature. The island’s civil administration takes shape with the arrival of Governor 1770 Patterson on the 19th of September. 1773 The first House of Assembly was elected. The House established committees charged with the discussion and analysis of particular issues, taking some of the workload off the main body of the 1825 House. Committees are still important in today’s Legislative Assembly. The Legislative Council was separated into a Legislative Council and an 1839 Executive Council, and Members of the House of Assembly were placed on the Executive Council. This had the effect of reducing the unelected Legislative Council’s power. PEI’s attainment of responsible government (self-government) due largely to 1851 the existence of an elected House of Assembly. Responsible government was strengthend with an Act that required the 1862 Legislative Council to be elected rather than appointed. 1864 In September, Prince Edward Island played host to the Charlottetown Conference, which was intended to negotiate a Maritime or Canadian Union. Premier James Pope rejects the terms of Confederation established at the 1866 Quebec Conference. Railway construction begins on the Island. James Pope believed a railway 1871 network would generate employment, provide efficient transportation of goods, and benefit tourism. Widespread concern soon arose over the mounting cost of the project. James Pope campaigns on a promise he can obtain better terms for 1873 Confederation. Pope won a majority and led a new delegation to Ottawa where they succeeded in gaining even better terms for the Island. The Island officially joins Confederation on July 1. The House of Assembly and the Legislative Council were combined to form 1893 the Legislative Assembly. From 1893 to 1966, PEI’s Legislative Assembly was made up of 30 Members, half of which were elected as Assemblymen, half as Councilors. 4 The Office of the Legislative Assembly provides nonpartisan procedural, administrative, educational and outreach services to the Members of the Legislative Assembly and the public.

Our galleries featured diverse and emerging artists who brought new live audiences here while receiving unprecedented digital media attention online. As we complete the first year of our 2019-24 Strategic Plan, we are entering into a global pandemic that has brought with it a paralyzing level of uncertainty. The Charlottetown Festival has been cancelled for the first time in its history, and Confederation Centre of the Arts has had to close its doors entirely as of March 16, 2020. What lies beyond the summer is unknown, so for now we are following the guidance of the Chief Public Health Officer and the Province of PEI – guidance which is updated daily and will ultimately indicate when and in what way we can reopen, and how gathering restrictions will impact our ability to deliver various programs. We remain committed to our Strategic Plan and our three pillars of Artistic Excellence, Engaged Diverse Communities, and Organizational Sustainability.

    Hon. Peter Bevan-Baker Leader of the Official Opposition Hon. George Coles Building, 175 Richmond St. Charlottetown, PE C1A 1J1 June 4, 2019 Dear Hon. Peter Bevan-Baker, On behalf of the Greater Charlottetown Area Chamber of Commerce’s 1,000 members, congratulations to you and your colleagues on forming the Official Opposition for our province. The Chamber welcomed the spirit of collaboration expressed throughout the past provincial election campaign. We echo this sentiment and believe our economy is stronger and Islanders’ lives are made better, when public and private sector efforts align. As you may recall, in March the Chamber shared a series of policy recommendations in support of local economic development. We were pleased that several of our recommendations appeared in your election platform and campaign announcements. As such, we look forward to your support on the following: • The relaunch of the Charlottetown Area Development Corporation; • The development of the Partnership for Growth’s economic action plan; • A reduction of the provincial small business tax rate. We welcome a discussion on the details of these items, particularly on our calculations of a reduction in the provincial small business tax rate, as determined by our volunteer tax specialist. The Chamber also notes and appreciates additional platform commitments that focus on the private sector such as support for local food producers; a micro-loan fund for small businesses; increased tourism marketing; support for creative and cultural industries; programs to encourage solar energy installations on small business buildings; and rural broadband services. We wish you well in your new role and look forward to working with you and your caucus over the course of your mandate.

However, the first father-daughter team to sit together in a legislative assembly did not happen in Canada until 1996. That is when Sue Edelman was elected to the 29th Yukon Legislative Assembly, joining her re-elected father, Ivan John “Jack” Cable. Mr. Cable moved to the North in 1970 after obtaining degrees in Chemical Engineering, a Master’s in Business Administration and a Bachelor of Laws in Ontario. He practiced law in Whitehorse for 21 years, and went on to serve as President of the Yukon Chamber of Commerce, President of the Yukon Energy Corporation and Director of the Northern Canada Power Commission. He is also a founding member of the Recycle Organics Together Society and the Boreal Alternate Energy Centre. Mr. Cable’s entry into electoral politics came in 1992, when he successfully won the riding of Riverdale in East Whitehorse to take his seat in the Yukon Legislative Assembly. Ms. Edelman’s political presence had already been established by the time her father began his term as an MLA. In 1988, she became a Whitehorse city councillor, a position she held until 1994. In her 1991 reelection, she received more votes for her council seat than mayor Bill Weigand received. Following her time on city council, she was elected to the Selkirk Elementary School council. In the 1996 territorial election, she ran and won in the Riverdale South riding.

A two-body Legislature is known as a bicameral Legislature. PEI’s first Governor, Walter Patterson, was instructed to establish a House of Assembly in which representatives were popularly elected (unlike Council members, who were appointed). The combination of a Council and House was a requirement for the enactment of legislation under British law. Though Patterson became Governor in 1769, the first House of Assembly was not elected until 1773. Early sessions of the Assembly met in private homes and taverns. A Sergeant-at-Arms of the time commented that this made for a “damn queer parliament”. By 1825, the House of Assembly was working on establishing its rights and privileges, particularly in terms of self- regulation and authority.
