ORIGIN Staff. The original 2007/08 Best Start Allocation for Muskoka was $418,900. The portion of that funding pertaining to the 2007 calendar year was allocated within our annual corporate budget submission that has been approved by Muskoka District Council. On May 23, 2007, The Commissioner of Community and Social Services received notice from the Ministry of Children and Youth Services that an additional $138,200 would be flowed to Muskoka as Enhanced Funding (letter attached) for 2007/08. It is now necessary for Community Services Committee and Council to approve a disbursement plan for the new one-time funding. ANALYSIS The guidelines around spending of the Best Start Enhanced Funding are quite general. The allocation letter states that it is being provided "to help to address ongoing pressures in the early learning and care system." Since the allocation, staff has considered different options for allocation. In 2006, Best Start funding was directed to: part time Case Aide position, support to the Best Start Network (meeting costs, office supplies, printing, copying, advertising, phone, etc.), French translation, Wage Improvement, start up funding for three new programs, School Integration program, Wage Subsidy, Fee Subsidy and Special Needs Resourcing, for expenditures totalling approximately $318,000. Planned 2007 expenditures for our original allocation include similar expenses, plus funding for our Children's Services Community Facilitator position, new in 2007. It should be noted that the Enhanced Funding has been allocated for the current provincial fiscal period only. However, it flows from the 2007 provincial budget commitment of a new, ongoing allocation to child care. Therefore, while we plan in the absence of an ongoing commitment, we are optimistic that Enhancement Funding will be available in future years. Certainly, any area where funds are directed will receive a clear message that this does not represent an ongoing enhanced funding envelope at this time. Staff recommendations for the new funding include: 1. Additional $20,000 to support Early Learning Initiatives developed by the Early Learning Subcommittee of the Best Start Network. The activities of this group reflect the primary policy direction of Best Start for 2007 - enhanced integration of services for children; 2. $20,170 to Community Living South Muskoka, bringing total annual funding for Special Needs Resources provided by this agency to $192,500; 3. $330 to Community Living Huntsville, bringing total annual funding for Special Needs Resources provided by this agency to $192,500 (there has been a historical funding inequity between these two agencies, which is addressed this year by this one time allocation.); and 4. $10,000 towards procuring a Facilitator to review options for the integration of several different children's planning tables - Best Start, Early Years, and the Muskoka Planning Council. If these initiatives were approved, $87,700 remains to be allocated. Staff believe that it would be beneficial for, and of interest to, our Committee to engage in a discussion about their preferences for funding choices. Those choices could include more funding in traditional areas, with priorities as identified by Committee, or could reflect other new initiatives that support provincial and local priorities of enhanced service integration, broad access to quality early learning opportunities, or increased supply of licensed child care spaces. We look forward to the opportunity to hold this discussion with Committee on June 20, 2007.

  • Re the Honourable Bob Chiarelli the Honourable Michael Coteau and the Honourable Yasir Naqvi, December 8
    Legislative Assemblée Assembly législative of Ontario de l’Ontario OFFICE OF THE INTEGRITY COMMISSIONER ~ REPORT OF THE HONOURABLE J. DAVID WAKE INTEGRITY COMMISSIONER RE: THE HONOURABLE BOB CHIARELLI, THE HONOURABLE MICHAEL COTEAU AND THE HONOURABLE YASIR NAQVI TORONTO, ONTARIO December 8, 2016 RE: THE HONOURABLE BOB CHIARELLI, THE HONOURABLE MICHAEL COTEAU AND THE HONOURABLE YASIR NAQVI EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This report relates to a request made by Catherine Fife, the Member of Provincial Parliament (MPP) for Kitchener-Waterloo, under section 30 of the Members’ Integrity Act, 1994 (the “ Act ”) about (1) Bob Chiarelli , MPP for Ottawa West-Nepean and Minister of Infrastructure, (2) Michael Coteau , MPP for Don Valley East and Minister of Child and Youth Services and (3) Yasir Naqvi , MPP for Ottawa Centre and Government House Leader and Attorney General (the “Ministers ”). Ms. Fife alleged that in contravention of section 2 of the Act the Ministers instructed staff in their respective ministerial offices to participate in partisan fundraising activities such that the Ministers furthered their own private interests by: (a) helping them to achieve the fundraising quotas assigned to them by the Ontario Liberal Party (the “ OLP ”) with the consent of the Premier, and (b) benefiting as future candidates from contributions to the OLP. Ms. Fife also alleged that by instructing their staff to engage in these activities, the Ministers blurred the lines between partisan fundraising and government business. In my opinion, the Ministers did not contravene section 2 of the Act because their private interests were not engaged. I found no evidence that fundraising quotas were assigned to the Ministers and that any benefit to them as future candidates would be too remote to be considered a private interest.
