  • An Examination of the Causes of Education Policy Outputs in Ontario, Saskatchewan, and Alberta
    Why Do Parties Not Make a Difference? An Examination of the Causes of Education Policy Outputs in Ontario, Saskatchewan, and Alberta By Saman Chamanfar A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements of the degree of Ph.D. Political Science University of Toronto © Copyright by Saman Chamanfar 2017 Why Do Parties Not Make a Difference? An Examination of the Causes of Education Policy Outputs in Ontario, Saskatchewan, and Alberta Saman Chamanfar Doctor of Philosophy Political Science University of Toronto 2017 Abstract This study seeks to explain why partisanship—contrary to what we might expect based on the findings of other studies concerning social policies—is generally not a useful explanatory variable when examining the primary and secondary education policies of three Canadian provinces (Ontario, Saskatchewan, and Alberta) during two periods (the 1970s and 1990- 2008). Four specific areas of the education sector of the provinces will be examined: objectives of curricula; spending; ministry relations with school boards; and government policies concerning private and charter schools. Utilizing a qualitative approach and building on the findings of other studies on provincial education systems, it will be argued that in order to understand why the three provinces generally adopted similar policies in both periods, regardless of the differences in the ideologies of governing parties, we need to consider the causal effect of key ideas in both periods. In addition, it will be shown that opposition parties in most instances did not present policies that differed from those of governing parties or criticize the policies of such parties. This will further illustrate the limited usefulness of adopting a partisanship lens when seeking to understand the policy positions of various parties in the provinces concerning the education sector.

  • October 21, 2004 Supportive Living Facilities for Seniors to Be Built In
    October 21, 2004 Supportive living facilities for seniors to be built in rural Alberta Red Deer...A new $50-million capital program will provide the basis for the development of supportive living facilities for low- and moderate-income seniors in rural communities across the province. The facilities will allow seniors to live independently in the community, while having access to services and supports to assist them in managing their health and personal care challenges. Using a model that has worked well in the past for the Healthy Aging Partnership Initiative (HAPI) and the Seniors Supportive Housing Incentive Program (SSHIP), the Alberta government will partner with regional health authorities and the private and/or voluntary sectors to build the facilities. "I am delighted to spearhead this important new program that will provide services and facilities for seniors to remain independent for as long as they are able," said Infrastructure Minister Ty Lund. "I look forward to seeing some innovative project ideas coming in that will address the housing and health care needs of seniors in rural Alberta." Government will use the $50 million to contribute up to 50 per cent of the capital costs, with the private/voluntary sectors providing the remaining funding. The health regions will be responsible for providing health care services to the residents of the supportive living facilities. "Seniors are such a big part of their communities. New supportive living facilities throughout Alberta will allow seniors to receive the services they need so they can remain in their home communities with their family and friends," said Gary Mar, Minister of Health and Wellness.

  • Hon. Dianne Mirosh, Minister Without Portfolio
    OFFICE OF THE ETHICS COMMISSIONER PROVINCE OF ALBERTA INVESTIGATION INTO ALLEGATION INVOLVING HON. DIANNE MIROSH, MINISTER WITHOUT PORTFOLIO October 28, 1993 ALLEGATION This Office received a letter dated October 20, 1993, from the Hon. Dianne Mirosh, Minister without Portfolio, requesting an investigation into an alleged conflict of interest involving herself and a purchase of shares in Syncrude Canada Ltd. by Murphy Oil. The allegation arose because Len Pasychny, President and Chief Executive Officer of Murphy Oil Company Ltd., is Mrs. Mirosh's brother. FACTS According to the Hon. Jim Dinning, Provincial Treasurer, the Government of Alberta began seeking buyers for its shares in Syncrude Canada Ltd. in the fall of 1991. Lancaster Financial Corp. and Morgan Grenfell were retained at that time as financial advisors to seek buyers for the government's shares. Those two financial advisors contacted prospective buyers, met with interested companies, and handled all discussions relating to the sale. Murphy Oil was the sole company to provide a formal offer. Discussions between the financial advisors and Murphy Oil took place in 193. Claiborne P. Deming, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of Murphy Oil Corporation in Arkansas, advised this Office that he supervised the negotiations and that the negotiators for Murphy Oil were Clefton D. Vaughan, Vice-president of Murphy Exploration & Production Company in Louisiana and Steven A. Cossé, Vice- president and General Counsel of Murphy Oil Corporation. Both the Province Treasurer and Mr. Deming confirm that the negotiations were carried out by Murphy Oil and the two financial advisors retained by the province. Mr. Deming also advised that the Murphy Oil negotiators did work with officials in the provincial Treasury and Energy departments but that Mrs.

  • Building Better Bridges
    Building Better Bridges Final Report on Programs and Services in Support of Persons with Developmental Disabilities Prepared by Honourable Gene Zwozdesky Associate Minister Alberta Health and Wellness MLA, Edmonton Mill Creek January, 2000 January 24, 2000 Honourable Halvar C. Jonson, Minister Alberta Health and Wellness 228 Legislature Building Edmonton, Alberta Dear Minister Jonson: As requested, I am pleased to provide you with my Final Report, Building Better Bridges: Final Report on Programs and Services in Support of Persons with Developmental Disabilities, and recommend that, after you have reviewed it, you consider making it available to the public as soon as possible. In providing this comprehensive Report, which reflects extensive public input and comment, research, observations, and official recommendations, I am confident it contains the basis upon which future decisions can be made regarding PDD. Issues regarding PDD recipients and others involved with the PDD system are enormously varied and complex. Therefore, ongoing consultation with all stakeholders is essential, particularly since the PDD community governance model is still in its infancy. In conjunction with the greater PDD community, I believe it is the Province’s role to help maintain and improve an already excellent program, and to establish a more stable, predictable, and accountable PDD system that responds to those in need. The PDD community and others are counting on our leadership and I believe that, collectively, we have the tools, knowledge, and capacity to deliver. In closing, I especially want to thank you, Minister Jonson, for your leadership in this regard, and for your personal and professional commitment to this important area.
