Getting Going
A Way Home: Youth Homelessness Community Planning Toolkit Getting Going Once you have the infrastructure in place to develop the plan, you’re ready to begin. To help you frame the process, it is helpful to consider the policy development cycle. Like public policy, developing a plan to end youth homelessness involves research, analysis, consultation and synthesis of information. It should also involve an evaluation of implementation and course correction. You don’t have to go through these steps in sequence but consider each as complete the plan development process. Figure 6: Policy Development Cycle Issue Identification Evalitation/ Research & Performance Analysis Measurement Implementation Consultation Decision Solution Making Development Likely, you’ve already identified youth homelessness as an issue and have a sense of what research is currently available. You may have conducted consultations to determine your community’s readiness to develop and implement a plan to end youth homelessness. Additionally, you may know what solutions the plan should include. An effective plan pulls this knowledge together into a coherent strategy – a strategy supported by community stakeholders. 78 A Way Home: Youth Homelessness Community Planning Toolkit In some cases, the process may seem to move in reverse, from solution development back to research and consultation. This is common and not a sign of failure; you should be prepared to go back to the drawing board as new information emerges or the community context shifts. You will also have to consider what resources you have to complete these various activities. As you consult, develop a means to share findings with stakeholders. Develop a ‘what we heard’ document summarizing learning and implications. -
The Kirby Report Made Under the House of Assembly Accountability, Integrity and Administration Act
The Kirby Report made under the House of Assembly Accountability, Integrity and Administration Act August 24, 2018 Bruce Chaulk Commissioner for Legislative Standards 1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY On May 14, 2018, Colin Holloway, (MHA, Terra Nova) (hereinafter referred to as the MHA Holloway) wrote the Commis- sioner’s Office requesting an investigation into the conduct of Dale Kirby, (MHA, Mount Scio), (hereinafter referred to as MHA Kirby) with respect to an alleged violation of the Member’s Code of Conduct. MHA Holloway alleged incidents of harassment and intimidation by MHA Kirby directed at MHA Holloway and that these incidents were a violation of sections 3, 4, 5 & 11 of the Members Code of Conduct. MHA Holloway also indicated that the culture of harassment and intimidation was pervasive within the Liberal Party Caucus. While acknowledging the seriousness of the issues raised by MHA Holloway, it must be stated that the statutory mandate of the Commissioner for Legislative Standards is to provide an opinion with respect to the compliance of a member with the provisions of the House of Assembly Accountability, Integrity and Administration Act S.N.L. 2007 c. H-10.1 (hereinafter referred to as the HOAIA) and the Member’s Code of Conduct. I have also considered specifically whether MHA Kirby engaged in behaviour that amounts to harassment. In doing so, I have relied on a definition of harassment as objectionable or offensive behaviour that is known or ought reasonably to be known to be unwelcome. In that regard, as a result of my review, I am of the opinion that MHA Kirby was not in violation of Principles 3, 4, 5 and 11 of the Member’s Code of Conduct. -

Liberals Have a Ball As PC Party Suffers from Post-Williams Hangover Alex Marland, Memorial University of Newfoundland
Canadian Political Science Review Vol.9. No. 3. 2015-2016, 72-98 The 2015 Newfoundland and Labrador Election: Liberals Have a Ball as PC Party Suffers from Post-Williams Hangover Alex Marland, Memorial University of Newfoundland Introduction In 2003, the Progressive Conservative (PC) Party of Newfoundland and Labrador rose to power on the basis of a solid plan, an ideological vision and the populist leadership of Danny Williams. In 2007, the Williams team was returned to government on nearly 70 percent of the vote, winning 44 of 48 seats, one of the most lopsided election outcomes in Canadian provincial history. When Williams resigned in 2010 he tapped his lieutenant Kathy Dunderdale to be premier. Drama and instability ensued, magnified by tumult possible only in smaller polities clinging to vestiges of elitism. As the PC Party crumbled, the Liberal Party climbed back from the precipice. It maintained a healthy lead in public opinion polls from mid-2013, won by- election after by-election, and attracted donors and floor crossers. Heading into the 2015 election, that the Liberals would form a majority government and that Dwight Ball would become the next premier were foregone conclusions. The campaign, other than its outcome, was uneventful and introduced calm after years of political instability. The real challenge for Premier Ball and the Liberals will be delivering the better tomorrow they promised. A Very Bad Year: Two PC Leadership Contests and 3½ Premiers in 2014 The PC Party won 37 of 48 seats in the October 2011 provincial election. It marked the first time in the province’s history a woman led a party to election victory.
