Introduction Purpose This Annual Plan and Estimates - the Government’s main Budget document - outlines the Government’s planned policy actions and forecast financial performance for the 2005/6 financial year. Those actions reflect the outcome goals, fiscal strategy and priorities established by the People’s Progressive Movement (PPM) Administration that were outlined in the 2005/6 Strategic Policy Statement tabled in the Legislative Assembly in August 2005. This document, which complies with the requirements of the Public Management and Finance Law (2005 Revision), also specifies the expenditure appropriations being requested to fund those policy actions. Those appropriations requests form the basis of the Appropriation Bill (2005/6) 2005. The Annual Plan and Estimates summarises the planned actions and financial performance at an overall government level. The performance expected of individual government agencies and non-governmental organisations supplying outputs is provided in three other sets of documents that accompany the Annual Plan and Estimates: • Annual Budget Statements for each Ministry and Portfolio, which document in detail the output delivery and ownership performance expected of those agencies in 2005/6; • Purchase Agreements, which specify in detail the outputs the Government plans to purchase from statutory authorities, government companies and non-governmental output suppliers in 2005/6; • Ownership Agreements, which specify the ownership performance the Government expects of each Statutory Authority and Government Company during 2005/6. Content of the Annual Plan and Estimates The layout and content of the 2005/6 Annual Plan and Estimates is similar to previous years. Part A contains the Government’s Annual Plan for the financial year. This Plan has been developed to give effect to the Government’s multi-year outcome goals as outlined in the 2005/6 Strategic Policy Statement. Part A includes: • A description of the policy outcomes that the Government is seeking to influence during the year. • A summary of the policy actions the Government intends to take to influence these policy outcomes including: o Legislation that will be prepared and introduced; o Outputs that will be purchased (by group); o Transfer payments that will be made (by category); o Ownership actions that will be taken (by way of equity investments, the purchase/development of assets, loans to be made, and new guarantees to be issued); • An overview of the forecast financial performance for the government as a whole for the financial year. These forecasts have been prepared on an accrual accounting basis. Part B contains the Estimates of Appropriations for the 2005/6 financial year. These appropriations are to Cabinet and are the responsibility of the assigned Minister or Official Member. Two sets of

  • Quaternary Bat Diversity in the Dominican Republic
    AMERICAN MUSEUM NOVITATES Number 3779, 20 pp. June 21, 2013 Quaternary Bat Diversity in the Dominican Republic PAÚL M. VELAZCO,1 HANNAH O’NEILL,2 GREGG F. GUNNELL,3 SIOBHÁN B. COOKE,4 RENATO RIMOLI,5 ALFRED L. ROSENBErgER,1, 6 AND NANCY B. SIMMONS1 ABSTRACT The fossil record of bats is extensive in the Caribbean, but few fossils have previously been reported from the Dominican Republic. In this paper, we describe new collections of fossil bats from two flooded caves in the Dominican Republic, and summarize previous finds from the Island of Hispaniola. The new collections were evaluated in the context of extant and fossil faunas of the Greater Antilles to provide information on the evolution of the bat community of Hispaniola. Eleven species were identified within the new collections, including five mormoopids (Mormoops blainvillei, †Mormoops magna, Pteronotus macleayii, P. parnellii, and P. quadridens), five phyllostomids (Brachy- phylla nana, Monophyllus redmani, Phyllonycteris poeyi, Erophylla bombifrons, and Phyllops falcatus), and one natalid (Chilonatalus micropus). All of these species today inhabitant Hispaniola with the exception of †Mormoops magna, an extinct species previously known only from the Quaternary of Cuba, and Pteronotus macleayii, which is currently known only from extant populations in Cuba and Jamaica, although Quaternary fossils have also been recovered in the Bahamas. Differences between the fossil faunas and those known from the island today suggest that dispersal and extirpa- tion events, perhaps linked to climate change or stochastic events such as hurricanes, may have played roles in structuring the modern fauna of Hispaniola. 1 Division of Vertebrate Zoology (Mammalogy), American Museum of Natural History.

  • 2004 Throne Speech
    CAYMAN ISLANDS GOVERNMENT 2004 THRONE SPEECH Delivered by His Excellency the Governor Mr. Bruce Dinwiddy, CMG 2 July 2004 Introduction Honourable Speaker, Honourable Members of the Legislative Assembly, it is a great honour for me to present to you my second Throne Speech, in this finely refurbished Chamber. I feel that we have come a long way since my first Throne Speech, presented in Cayman Brac nearly 16 months ago. We have successfully managed, even if not totally eliminated a tension which had arisen shortly before that time in Cayman’s relations with the United Kingdom. We have achieved this, despite the problems posed for Cayman’s financial services industry by the European Union Savings Directive and the failure to bring to a conclusion the negotiations with the United Kingdom on a new Constitution. I remain conscious that a key part of my role as Governor is to provide a bridge between George Town and London. That bridge and its supporting structures were largely designed many years ago, some would say in another age. Some changes are long overdue. And I strongly believe that is in our joint interest to continue to work for Constitutional reform, even if there are different perceptions about how far it should go. I hope that opportunity will be taken during the forthcoming election campaign to take forward debate in Cayman on this, and to ascertain more clearly what proposals the electorate would like the new government to make to London next year. Meanwhile, this occasion gives me the opportunity to pledge my continuing commitment to work with you all, with the public service, with the private sector and the wider community, to the best of my ability and within the parameters prescribed by the Constitution, for the benefit of our Islands and our people.
