A BALANCED BUDGET
Mr. Speaker, it is my pleasure to present to this Honourable
House today, a totally balanced Budget - a Budget that requires
no borrowing, either for current account or for capital account;
and, a Budget that requires no new taxes and no tax increases.
Our progress in deficit reduction over the last four years has
been the most consistent of any government in Canada. This
progress is a result of our comprehensive strategy to strengthen
the foundation on which the fiscal, economic and social future of
Newfoundland and Labrador will be built. It has been our
objective to restore the fiscal flexibility of this Province, and
we remain on course.
We have achieved a current account surplus in 1994-95. In our
1994 Budget, we committed to eliminating our current account
deficit in 1995-96. We have delivered on that commitment one year
ahead of schedule.
Last year, Premier Wells indicated that we would strive to
achieve a totally balanced Budget by 1996-97. With the aid of
some extraordinary revenues, we will deliver on that objective
one year ahead of schedule.
But neither of these accomplishments can be one-time
achievements. We must ensure that Government balances future
budgets, and begins to reduce the debt burden that is the legacy
of past deficits. The benefits of a deficit free Government to
our generation will be substantial. The benefits of debt
reduction to future generations will be immense.
Achieving our fiscal plan requires that we meet many significant
challenges: major reductions in transfer payments from the
Government of Canada; high public debt; a structural deficit; the
need for economic renewal, particularly in light of the collapse
of our groundfish industry; and unfunded liabilities in our
public sector pension plans. We must overcome these challenges
with a realistic plan and the determination to make it work.
THE FISCAL STRATEGY
Mr. Speaker, the first element in our fiscal strategy is to bring
about change in the services we provide and the way they are
delivered. The result must be more efficient, cost-effective and
affordable government.
The second element in our strategy is to strengthen our revenue
base by ensuring a growing, productive economy, and by attaining
a more equitable transfer arrangement from the Government of
Canada.
CONTROLLING OUR EXPENDITURES
Mr. Speaker, we must continue to implement less costly ways to
provide public services, while improving the
effectiveness,quality and delivery of core programs. In 1995-96,
there will be additional restraints imposed on the operating
spending of all government departments and agencies. Some
measures will apply across all programs, others will be directed
at specific programs and services. Some job losses will result.
We have made significant progress in rationalizing and
restructuring both the management and the delivery of health
programs through board restructuring, and by changing the role of
some facilities to fit a more efficient regional service focus.
These ongoing changes will enable quality health care to be
provided in all regions of the Province in a cost-effective
manner. Funding in 1995-96 will not be reduced from last year's
level.
Commencing in 1995-96, responsibility for home care services,
formerly provided by the Department of Social Services, will be
transferred to the Department of Health. Services will be
delivered through a single entry system which will provide for
coordination and effective delivery of programs by regional
community health boards, ranging from home care to high level
nursing care.
Cost efficiencies in the education system will be achieved,
partially through normal adjustments in response to declining
enrolments. Implementation of the recommendations of the Royal
Commission on Education also is contributing to a more efficient
system. In addition, discussions have been renewed with church
groups to pursue educational reforms which, when implemented,
will create a more efficient system for the benefit of our
students.
In line with restraint measures imposed across Government, the
grant to Memorial University of Newfoundland and other
post-secondary contributions will be reduced below 1994-95
levels. Government anticipates that these educational
institutions will implement efficiency measures in order to avoid
reductions in student access to education programs. We also
expect that these reductions will not cause financial hardships
to students or to the institutions themselves.
Mr. Speaker, the costs of social assistance, until now, have been
shared equally in a longstanding partnership between the Province
and the Government of Canada. The Federal Government has ended
its equal cost-sharing commitment to social assistance by
freezing their contribution for 1995-96 at the previous year's
level. Unlike the situation in many provinces, the number of
families needing assistance in Newfoundland and Labrador
continues to rise. The federal restraint will create a shortfall
of $15 million in social assistance funding in 1995-96. While
basic assistance rates will remain unchanged, some benefits will
have to be reduced, and other savings will be achieved through
administrative efficiencies.
Achieving the reforms necessary to ensure sustainable services
and affordable government must be undertaken with the cooperation
and input of stakeholders. Mr. Speaker, this Government is
committed to a process of open consultation.
Collective agreements providing for a continuation of
compensation restraint in 1995-96 already have been negotiated
with most bargaining units. The same restraints will apply to
non-bargaining, management and executive staff, and Members of
the House of Assembly.
This year Government will be consulting with employee
representatives to develop an equitable approach to addressing
the unfunded liability in public sector pension plans, which now
has reached a level of $2.4 billion. We must act now to protect
the Province's financial position over the long term, and to
secure the pensions of our public employees. A solution must be
found this year, and both Government and employees must
contribute to that solution.
Also, we will seek the input of the Newfoundland and Labrador
Federation of Municipalities before we determine future levels of
funding and services we provide to municipalities. The Province
traditionally has provided considerable funding and services to
municipalities to assist them to provide basic services and make
capital improvements. This relationship must be re-examined in
light of prevailing fiscal realities.
The long-term viability of the Province's forest industry
requires responsible planned management, through the development
of new technologies and maintenance of silviculture efforts. The
Federal Government will no longer cost-share forestry programs
with the Province and the pulp and paper industry. Government has
decided that in spite of the federal withdrawal, these programs
must be substantially maintained, and the Province will be
funding them in this Budget.
Mr. Speaker, as part of our deficit elimination plan, our capital
account spending program for 1995-96 is lower than it has been in
recent years. Despite this reduction, expenditures related to
Hibernia and the national infrastructure program will help
sustain a high level of capital investment and construction
activity in the Province.
As part of our privatization initiative, we are taking steps to
enhance the commercial viability of Newfoundland Farm Products
Corporation. We are reducing the annual operating subsidy, and
will discuss with management and employee representatives ways to
achieve these reductions. Also, we will start phasing out the
subsidy to broiler producers.
As another efficiency measure, the Farm Development Loan Board
and the Fisheries Loan Board will be merged with Enterprise
Newfoundland and Labrador. This measure will enhance service
quality by increasing access to services for farmers and fishers
through the regional office network.
We are continuing to consolidate the administration divisions of
departments. This year the administration divisions in the
Departments of Environment, Employment and Labour Relations and
Tourism, Culture and Recreation will be merged into one unit.
Mr. Speaker, while these measures assist us in dealing with the
problem this year, we also must address foreseeable fiscal
challenges impacting upon subsequent years. In 1996-97, we will
have about $160 million less revenue, because of the restraint of
federal transfers for social programs and the extraordinary
revenues realized in 1995-96. Growth in other revenue sources
will be insufficient to offset this. We have begun the process of
dealing with this challenge.
Government recognizes that it is difficult to effectively plan
for the efficient long-term delivery of programs and services,
when they are subject to the funding uncertainty inherent in an
environment of continuing restraint. Government will immediately
implement a process to develop multi-year operating plans for
departments and agencies, as well as hospital and school boards.
Each department and agency will prepare a multi-year human
resource strategy during 1995-96. This will allow for a gradual
and orderly reduction of compensation costs, which now account
for two-thirds of program spending. A planned approach will
enable us to take maximum advantage of normal attrition within
the public service to lessen our compensation needs.
STRENGTHENING OUR REVENUES
Mr. Speaker, expenditure measures are only one element of our
fiscal strategy. We must continue to strengthen our revenue base
- both transfers from the Government of Canada and our own tax
sources.
Reductions in transfer payments for social programs announced in
the 1994 and 1995 Federal Budgets will result in a revenue loss
of an estimated $110 million in 1996-97, escalating to $160
million in 1997-98. These reductions will cause hardship in this
Province, particularly if our social assistance caseloads
continue to increase because of unemployment insurance reforms
and the phase-out of assistance to people displaced as a result
of the groundfish crisis.
Mr. Speaker, if transfers overall must be restrained as a part of
federal deficit reduction, then the only way to treat all
Canadians fairly and equitably is for the Government of Canada to
allocate the remaining funds on the basis of demonstrated need.
Funding must not be allocated on a per capita, or an historical
share basis. The Constitution commits to ensuring reasonably
comparable levels of services at reasonably comparable levels of
taxation. Mr. Speaker, that commitment must be honoured!
In addition to attaining a more equitable fiscal transfer
arrangement, we must pursue economic growth and job creation to
strengthen the tax base of this Province and lessen fiscal as
well as economic disparities.
Our Strategic Economic Plan continues to guide us toward
long-term economic renewal. Consistent with the objectives and
vision of this plan, Government has undertaken many initiatives
designed to increase the attractiveness of the Province as a
place to do business. These include the establishment of economic
zones, tax reform, regulatory reform, and the recently enacted
Economic Diversification and Growth Enterprises Act. In keeping
with this strategy, the Province will implement a Scientific
Research and Experimental Development tax credit in 1996, after
consultations with the business community.
There are a number of positive signs in the Newfoundland and
Labrador economy that give us cause for optimism. Our forest and
mining sectors are performing strongly. Hibernia is proceeding on
schedule. The Terra Nova oilfield is expected to be the next
offshore development, and negotiations are being actively pursued
with members of the Terra Nova consortium. Oil exploration is
taking place on the west coast of the Province. There have been
several significant mineral discoveries with development
potential in the short term, including Voisey Bay, potentially
one of the largest nickel-cobalt discoveries in Canada.
The rate of small business formation in this Province is amongst
the highest in Canada. Several Newfoundland companies are making
inroads in the growing high technology field. Newfoundland and
Labrador has considerable tourism potential, and the Cabot 500
celebrations should generate considerable activity in 1997.
THE FISCAL PERFORMANCE - 1994-95
Mr. Speaker, during 1994, growth in the Newfoundland and Canadian
economies exceeded expectations, contributing to higher than
expected revenues from our own tax sources and from equalization
payments. Expenditures also were somewhat higher than Budget,
mainly because of increased social assistance and employment
programs, and the decision to reduce public sector compensation
restraints.
As a result, for 1994-95 we will achieve a surplus of $25.1
million on current account compared with a budgeted deficit of
$24.6 million. Our net capital account spending also will be
below Budget, by $10.7 million.
Mr. Speaker, our total budgetary requirement for 1994-95 will be
$136.3 million. This is over $60 million below the amount
estimated in the Budget, and is the lowest level of borrowing for
budgetary purposes in 14 years. That, Mr. Speaker, is not
projected. That is achieved.
Achieving the surplus on current account was made possible partly
by the receipt of a $31 million payment from the Government of
Canada to enable the Province to assume responsibility for the
south coast ferry service. The balance of this $55 million
agreement will be paid in 1995-96 and 1996-97. Even without this
payment, our budgetary requirement would have been almost $30
million below our Budget estimate. Mr. Speaker, we have bettered
our target.

THE FISCAL OUTLOOK - 1995-96
Mr. Speaker, in 1995, the Canadian economy is expected to
continue to grow, although at a more moderate rate. The
Newfoundland economy also will grow in 1995, albeit at a pace
slower than the rest of the country. The goods producing sector,
with the exception of the fishery, will contribute most to this
growth.
Revenue growth from a stronger economy is not sufficient, by
itself, to achieve a totally balanced Budget in 1995-96. The
expenditure measures on both current and capital account
contained in this Budget, when combined with dividends from
Newfoundland and Labrador Hydro and extraordinary revenues, will
allow us to eliminate our total budgetary requirement and achieve
a small surplus in 1995-96.
The extraordinary revenue gains for 1995-96 will reduce net
expenditures by about $90 million. They also will generate
interest cost savings of about $8 million annually, reducing the
deficit problems we must deal with in coming years. These
extraordinary gains include: the second payment from the
Government of Canada pertaining to the south coast ferry service;
bringing into revenues accumulated sinking fund surpluses; and,
proceeds from privatization of some government-owned
corporations.
Mr. Speaker, Newfoundland and Labrador Hydro will pay the people
of the Province a return on their investment in the electrical
industry. Accordingly, Government will receive an annual
dividend, starting in 1995-96. In the initial year, this dividend
will be $19.6 million. The major portion of this dividend
represents profits earned by Hydro on its electrical sales
throughout Newfoundland and Labrador. The balance represents that
part of the annual dividend which Hydro receives from Churchill
Falls (Labrador) Corporation which is in excess of Hydro's cost
of servicing the debt related to the purchase of shares in that
corporation.

-----------------------------------------------------------------
Our total budgetary requirement for 1995-96 will be eliminated,
and, on current and capital account combined we will achieve an
overall surplus of $1.9 million.
Mr. Speaker, even without the extraordinary revenues, the
esulting budgetary requirement of about $88 million for 1995-96
ould have represented a considerable improvement over previous
years. It also would have represented a notable achievement in
continuing the downward trend in deficits established over a
five-year period.
OUR STRATEGY IS WORKING
Mr. Speaker, in 1995-96 the Province will achieve a balanced
budget on current and capital account combined for the first time
since Confederation. A consistent approach to prudent deficit
reduction undertaken over several budgets, combined with some
fortuitous factors, will allow us to realize that goal this year.
Government is committed to seeing this objective achieved, and to
seeing that this achievement will be a foundation on which future
balanced budgets will be built.
There are many significant fiscal challenges ahead of us. No
single budget can offer a solution to all of these challenges.
But each budget must be an incremental step that makes its
contribution to the restoration of fiscal flexibility to this
Province. Each budget must build on the foundation of those that
precede it, and become part of the sound fiscal foundation for
those budgets that will follow it.
This foundation is essential to the attainment of our economic
and social objectives. All Newfoundlanders and Labradorians, of
present and future generations, will share in the benefits. There
is simply no acceptable alternative. As a people, we will be able
to enjoy the economic and social well-being necessary for a full
and rewarding life in this Province only if a sustainable, sound
fiscal foundation is built.
Mr. Speaker, this Budget is an integral component of that
foundation. It will set us to work, better prepared to surmount
the fiscal challenges which must be overcome to secure the future
balanced budgets that this Province must, and will, achieve.
APPENDIX
SUPPLEMENTARY BUDGET DETAILS
GENERAL
The Province is projecting a surplus on its combined current and
capital account budget for 1995-96, partly as a result of
extraordinary revenues. The Budget provides $10,000,000 in new
spending for Strategic Economic Plan initiatives. Most
departments and agencies of Government have had their operating
expenditures cut by a minimum of 3 percent. The Government
remains committed to ensuring a positive business and service
environment and is continuing its funding for regulatory reform.
Administration divisions of the Departments of Environment,
Employment and Labour Relations, and Tourism, Culture and
Recreation will be consolidated. The 1994 federal budget
announced that, starting in 1995-96, transfers to provinces under
the Canada Assistance Plan would be capped at last year's level.
This will cost the Province approximately $15,000,000. As a
result, the Province will be implementing measures to save up to
$10,000,000 in the social services and home support areas. Year
two of the Master Agreement of the public sector wage restraint
program is reflected. Government is committed to the principle of
pay equity and funds are provided for its implementation
throughout the general services and health care sectors of the
public service. Government will be divesting itself of two Crown
corporations(Newfoundland Hardwoods Limited and Hotel Buildings
Limited) consistent with its theme of privatization. A
$19,600,000 dividend will be received from Newfoundland and
Labrador Hydro.
EXECUTIVE COUNCIL
Provision has been made to undertake additional work toward land
claims settlements in Labrador. The Budget provides funds for the
continuation of the Province's Strategic Social Plan. The
Province will be hosting the annual Conference of Premiers in
1995-96, and funding is provided for this event. Funding is
provided for the Provincial Advisory Council on the Status of
Women.
LEGISLATURE
Funding is provided for the Select Committee of the House, which
has been mandated to review all aspects of "Children's
Interests".
PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSION
Funds have been allocated to establish a service quality unit to
increase awareness among all public servants of our service role
in respect of our taxpayers. The Opening Doors Program is
continuing and provides for a career development program for
persons with disabilities.
WORKS, SERVICES AND TRANSPORTATION
The re-organization of the department which started in 1994-95
will be completed in 1995-96. A major effort will be undertaken
to enhance the signage on the Province's main highways.
$81,200,000 has been provided for the Province's highways. The
Province will be assuming the ferry services currently being
operated by Marine Atlantic on the south coast and the White Bay
service. It is planned to provide daily service to all affected
communities.
ENVIRONMENT
Funding is provided for completion of environmental pollution
clean-up at high risk sites. Funding of $105,000 is provided to
assist in the development of new consolidated environmental
legislation for the Province. $41,000 is provided to develop an
Integrated Pest Management Awareness Program for use within the
Atlantic Provinces.
FISHERIES, FOOD AND AGRICULTURE
The Fisheries Industry Development Agreement will continue for
1995-96. The Province is phasing out its subsidies to the broiler
industry. Reductions will be made to the price support paid to
producers ($1,000,000). The operating subsidy paid to
Newfoundland Farm Products Corporation will be reduced.
INDUSTRY, TRADE AND TECHNOLOGY
Additional funds have been provided for the identification of new
business investments, trade opportunities and market development
for the Province. Additional funds have been provided for the
development of the Province's technology and information systems
sector. Operations of the Fisheries Loan Board and the Farm
Development Loan Board will be merged with Enterprise
Newfoundland and Labrador. The Economic Diversification and
Growth Enterprises (EDGE)Program is to be emphasized in 1995-96
and appropriate funds have been provided in this regard. The
Economic Recovery Commission will continue the implementation of
the 19 economic zones across the Province.
NATURAL RESOURCES
The Province will fund forestry initiatives of $10,000,000 to
replace the long standing cost-shared agreement which the Federal
Government is no longer supporting. Monies will be spent on
forestry renewal work. The Canada-Newfoundland Cooperation
Agreement on Mineral Development will continue for 1995-96. Over
$3,000,000 has been provided to assist with a provincial insect
control program. This program will be cost-shared with the paper
mill operators. Work associated with monitoring and assessing the
state of the Province's wildlife populations will be funded in
1995-96. Government will be eliminating funding for the Energy
Efficiency and Alternate Energy Division.
TOURISM, CULTURE AND RECREATION
The Province will continue to fund the John Cabot 500th
Anniversary Celebrations Corporation. Appropriations have been
made for planning and development of the Newfoundland T'railway
Park. Funding of $1,000,000 has been provided for the first year
of a five-year program to enhance the provincial parks across the
Province. There will be minor fee increases for use of provincial
parks.
EDUCATION AND TRAINING
The Canada-Newfoundland Cooperation Agreement for Human Resource
Development continues to be funded in the amount of $12,600,000
(gross). Funding of $18,299,000 is provided for construction in
the education system. Memorial University's total grant is
reduced by 2.2 percent from last year's level.
EMPLOYMENT AND LABOUR RELATIONS
The Youth Employment Strategy Program will continue to be funded
in 1995-96. The Strategic Initiatives Program designed to provide
meaningful employment opportunities for targeted individuals is
funded at $10,600,000. The Preventive Mediation Program and
funding for the Education and Research Centre will continue for
1995-96.
HEALTH
The Home Support Program ($20,000,000) has been transferred from
the Department of Social Services to the Department of Health and
will be delivered by the new regional community health boards.
The restructuring process will continue through 1995-96 with a
view to decreasing administrative costs while maintaining and
enhancing patient care. There will be continued emphasis on day
surgery, reduced length of hospital stays, and closure of
underutilized beds. Funding of $17,257,000 is provided for
capital improvements in the health care system. Changes to the
benefits provided by the Medicare, Drug, and Dental programs will
save $950,000.
JUSTICE
Funding is provided for legal research and advice associated with
land claims settlements in Labrador. There will be minor fee
increases for the securities and sheriff's office areas.
MUNICIPAL AND PROVINCIAL AFFAIRS Five "Government
Service Centres" will be established across the Province.
Funding of $40,000,000 is provided for the continuation of the
Canada-Newfoundland Infrastructure Agreement for 1995-96 to meet
cashflow requirements. Except for those municipalities who can
finance 100 percent of their obligations through Newfoundland
Municipal Financing Corporation (NMFC), there will be a
moratorium on new municipal capital works projects for 1995-96
that are not funded under the Infrastructure Program. Total
spending in the municipal sector is approximately $96,000,000.
Consultations will be held with the Newfoundland and Labrador
Federation of Municipalities to examine our current program of
assistance to municipalities as well as other expenditure areas
to achieve savings of $1,500,000 in 1995-96.
SOCIAL SERVICES There is continued funding of $11,500,000
for an Employment Opportunities Program specifically for social
assistance recipients. The investigation program aimed at
curtailing inappropriate use of social services programs
continues and five additional staff are being added in 1995-96.
Savings will be achieved in the delivery of social services
programs through streamlining of certain non-basic allowances in
response to the federal freeze on Canada Assistance Plan payments
to the Province.
