On-going
Way Forward Commitment:
Our government is undertaking a review of more than 200 public sector ABCs to assess levels of activity and areas of duplication. This review will include advisory, regulatory and adjudicative ABCs, with a focus on those without permanent staff. In 2018-19, our government will continue reducing the number of ABCs.
What We’ve Accomplished:
- A review of Government entities is on-going.
- All of the funding, programs and services of the Research and Development Corporation are now supported and delivered by the Department of Tourism, Culture, Industry and Innovation, resulting in better alignment of programs and services and increased collaboration and greater opportunity to leverage funding from federal and industry partners. This reorganization has saved $3.12 million.
- Newfoundland and Labrador Ocean Enterprises Limited (NOEL) and its subsidiary, Marystown Shipyard Limited, (MSL Ltd.) operated as an arms-length Crown Corporation with a board of directors reporting to the Minister of Tourism, Culture, Industry and Innovation. Both entities were dissolved in September 2017.
- The combined savings of these two organizational changes saved more than $3.1 million.
