  • 50 Standing Committee on Crown and Central Agencies
    Chapter 50 Chapter 50 Standing Committee on Crown and Central Agencies 1.0 MAIN POINTS Through its work and recommendations, the Standing Committee on Crown and Central Agencies (Committee) can help the Legislative Assembly (Assembly) hold the Government accountable for its management of the Crown Investments Corporation of Saskatchewan (CIC) and its subsidiary corporations. The Committee does this, in part, by reviewing chapters in our Reports, and the annual reports and financial statements of agencies within its subject area. It reports to the Assembly on the results of its review. These reports may contain recommendations resulting from our audit work. On January 6, 2016, the Committee tabled a report with the Assembly on the results of its review. This report contains 66 Committee recommendations resulting from our audit work. At September 30, 2016, the Government had fully implemented 83% of these 66 recommendations, and partially implemented 91% of the remaining recommendations. At September 30, 2016, the Committee had not reviewed several years of annual reports of CIC and two of its subsidiaries. 2.0 INTRODUCTION This chapter provides an overview of the role and responsibilities of the Committee, focusing on those responsibilities related to our Office’s work. Also, it describes the overall status of the Committee’s recommendations resulting from our Office’s work, the status of its consideration of our work, and the status of the Committee’s review of annual reports of CIC and its subsidiary corporations. 2.1 Role and Responsibilities of the Standing Committee on Crown and Central Agencies The Committee is one of the Assembly’s four policy field committees.

  • Targeted Residential Fire Risk Reduction a Summary of At-Risk Aboriginal Areas in Canada
    Targeted Residential Fire Risk Reduction A Summary of At-Risk Aboriginal Areas in Canada Len Garis, Sarah Hughan, Paul Maxim, and Alex Tyakoff October 2016 Executive Summary Despite the steady reduction in rates of fire that have been witnessed in Canada in recent years, ongoing research has demonstrated that there continue to be striking inequalities in the way in which fire risk is distributed through society. It is well-established that residential dwelling fires are not distributed evenly through society, but that certain sectors in Canada experience disproportionate numbers of incidents. Oftentimes, it is the most vulnerable segments of society who face the greatest risk of fire and can least afford the personal and property damage it incurs. Fire risks are accentuated when property owners or occupiers fail to install and maintain fire and life safety devices such smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors in their homes. These life saving devices are proven to be highly effective, inexpensive to obtain and, in most cases, Canadian fire services will install them for free. A key component of driving down residential fire rates in Canadian cities, towns, hamlets and villages is the identification of communities where fire risk is greatest. Using the internationally recognized Home Safe methodology described in this study, the following Aboriginal and Non- Aboriginal communities in provinces and territories across Canada are determined to be at heightened risk of residential fire. These communities would benefit from a targeted smoke alarm give-away program and public education campaign to reduce the risk of residential fires and ensure the safety and well-being of all Canadian citizens.
