Now, we know that the caseloads have Mr. Deputy Speaker: Agreed? Agreed and so ordered. increased rapidly. We know that the funds have not, over the years, kept up. If we had inherited the base ADJOURNED DEBATE that perhaps we should have, we would not be in the ON SECOND READINGS problem we are today with trying to keep those agencies afloat. We have indicated to them on many occasions BILL NO. 99 that service to children is paramount. That is the THE APPROPRIATION ACT, 1989 purpose that they are there. That is the mandate they have to serve and that working together, we should be Mr. Deputy Speaker: On the proposed motion of the able to achieve that.

The Honourable Minister of have done this. Last year, we told them a very similar Family Services (Mrs. Oleson) has six minutes remaining. thing. We said, okay, we will fund your deficits, but only your actual deficits. Now, they projected deficits in Hon. Charlotte Oleson {Minister of Family Services): excess of $2 million. When we got to the final tally M r. Deputy Speaker, because of the agreement with after actuals, we found with some measures taken by the Bill 104, I was discussing some of the matters, boards at the insistence of the department and at their fi nancial and ot herwise, that are pertinent t o my own initiative the deficits were $1 .7 million. So it can Department of Family Services, how they relate to the be done, Mr. Speaker, it can be. By working closely budget, and how they relate to the various groups in with the department, we can achieve some sense out society that are funded by my department. of this and we found-we did last year anyway- that their needs were not as great at the end of the year. In the remaining very short time that is allocated to This year we have set up a deficit relief fund that they me for this speech, I would just like to touch on a can draw on with approved expenditures after the couple of more items that pertain to my department, actuals have been tallied. So hopefully, working in this very vital parts of the department. One of those is the way, we will be able to better serve the children of Child and Family Servi ce Agencies that provide this Manitoba. service to children in the province, who are in the City of Winnipeg and some of the outlining areas, who are Also in the same directive that I gave them last week, in need of protection from, in many cases, their own we have set up a special needs fund, or a special parents and others and the problems that are in circumstances fund, that will assist agencies that have connection with the financing of those agencies. c ases of children who exceed the needs of that 5866 Monday, March 12, 1990 established beyond Level 2, which is, I believe, $81 a by overexpenditures of the funds of the Province of day. Now this will go to some measure to help those Manitoba, whether it was within Crown corporations, agencies because some of their cases that are really Manitoba Telephone System, MTX, some $27 million causing problems are the extremely high-need cases to Saudi Arabia, whether it was the mishandling of the that go beyond that figure. We are telling them that automobile company, the Autopac and the Public anything above that figure the department will be asked Insurance Corporation which, in fact, was again another to approve and then pay the bill. In that way we should major nail in the coffin of the New Democratic Party be able to relieve them of some of those particular when in the December, January period prior to the problems, but there is a lot of work to be done yet, March of 1988, had in fact gone up by probably an Mr. Speaker, in that area. We know we do not have average of some $100 per vehicle. all the answers there. I do not think anybody has, but When one looked into it further, not only did we see it is something we are working 011 with the agencies them experimenting and playing around in re-insurance and hoping for their co-operation ·to resolve this. of worldwide activities, but when one were to check We do not have endless sums of money to donate closer to find out what happened through the Minister's to any area of my department or any other, but we do office, we found that many of the records had been want to work with people co-operatively because I think shredded by the Member for Gimli, who was the Minister we all have the same goal in the long run.

  • Blitz for Blood Held in City
    Blitz For Blood Held In City By Joyce Henderson As a national project, the Association of Kinsmen Clubs across Canada offered assistance to the Red Cross and other blood bank services, by carrying out a Blood Drive Program from February 19th to 28th, 1973. The local Kinsmen Club (chartered on April 7, 1946), had previously assisted the Red Cross in their annual Blood Drives in Flin Flon. This year (1973), the Kinsmen decided to make the needs and values of the Flin Flon Blood Donor Service better known to the public. They also wished to convince at least 200 more people to add their names to the 400 donors listed. The Blood Donor Service consisted of citizens whose concern was the well-being of others. Considering that there were eight major blood types, and that donor could give blood only once every ninety days, it was necessary to have a list of a few hundred names. In the event of an emergency, ten or more units of blood might be used in a twenty-four hour period, the 400 donors could not continue without more participation from the community. In 1973, there were 400 donors on the list who had donated blood over 25 times, and a large number of them over forty times. Of the 400 donors, 380 were men and two-thirds were employed `by HBMS. Over the thirty-one years volunteers of the Flin Flon Blood Donors Service had given 14,650 units of blood, an average of 470 pints a year. The Blood Donor Service started in Flin Flon in February 1942, under the direction of Dr.

    Socialist Studies / Études socialistes 8 (1) Winter 2012 state. Academic freedom risks being cast as an inconvenient fetter on the untrammeled commercialization of universities and their reorientation towards providing the human resources and innovative intellectual properties to drive corporate profitability. This silencing campaign must be opposed because it opens the door to wider attacks on academic freedom at a time when such attacks are to be expected. But it should also be opposed in the name of justice for Palestinians, including their academic freedom which is constrained by conditions of occupation, exile or second-class citizenship within the State of Israel. The organizers of the Mapping Models conference did the important work of bringing together key experts engaged in leading edge debates about possible solutions to the issues in Israel/Palestine. The conference was not balanced in that it was a presupposition of its framing that any real solution to the issues in the region must genuinely address the historic claims of Palestinians. The solutions currently on the negotiating table do not meet this criterion, and are unlikely to be acceptable to the bulk of Palestinians even in the unlikely event that the Israeli state were to seriously pursue negotiations. This is why over 170 Palestinian civil society organizations issues a call for a global campaign of boycott, divestment and sanctions against Israeli institutions on July 9, 2005, a year after the International Court of Justice issued an advisory opinion on the illegality of Israel’s Wall in the Occupied Palestinian Territories. At very least, this call must be debatable on our campuses and in our communities, or we will have utterly failed the test of defending academic freedom and supporting justice for Palestinians.
