Government of Newfoundland News

The following statement was read in the House of Assembly today by the Honourable Dr. Andrew Furey, Premier of Newfoundland and Labrador:

Speaker, in the noble tradition that defines our existence as a people, every day, thousands of men and women in this province take to the sea to earn their living from the fishery.

There is no greater fear for the communities throughout Newfoundland and Labrador than to hear the news that one of our fishing boats has gone missing.

Yet that was the news we received in July when the Elite Navigator and its crew of seven were reported missing, its last known location about 300 kilometres northeast of Gander.

Fortunately, this story has a happy ending. Thanks to the efforts of the fishing community, the Canadian Coast Guard, the Canadian Armed Forces and boat owner Glenn Mouland, who never gave up hope, the Elite Navigator was found.

The crew, Eugene Carter, David Tiller – who is here with us today, Toby Peddle, Harold Howell, Andy Hunt, Jordan Lee King, and Robbie Firmage, were safely returned to their loving families.

Mr. Speaker, I will never forget that day as we celebrated along with hundreds of others in the New-Wes-Valley community, as the Lucky Seven entered their home port.

I want to take this opportunity to recognize the incredible strength and resilience of this crew, and once again thank everyone involved in the search and rescue effort for making this an ending we will all remember for years to come.

Building on efforts to enhance public safety, and to ensure confidence that the province has a strong, modern and responsive justice system, the Provincial Government is further investing in public safety and public well-being in Newfoundland and Labrador in line with identified needs of stakeholders and communities across the province.

The Honourable Bernard Davis, Minister of Justice and Public Safety, today announced nearly $24 million for new tools and technologies to enhance access to justice and strengthen public trust in the justice system.

This multi-year investment supports:

• 25 new correctional officers
• 18 new Crown attorneys
• 14 new deputy sheriffs
• Manager of court security for Labrador

This funding also supports the digital transformation of the entire justice system, upgrading systems, hardware, software, and processes to improve access to justice and streamlines service delivery. These upgrades will ensure the provincial justice system is modern, effective, and efficient, benefiting all aspects of the system, including courts, police, corrections, probation, victim services, and public prosecutions.

This builds on the nearly $20 million investment to support public safety initiatives announced by Minister Davis last week (November 5). That funding includes the establishment of a provincial, 10-member Joint-Task Force Unit comprised of RNC and RCMP officers to target weapon, drug and contraband enforcement and critical incident response activities. The $20 million investment also includes:

• Five new RCMP officers for Happy Valley-Goose Bay, as recommended in the public safety review completed by the Policing Transformation Working Group.
• An additional 19 police officers, starting in 2026-27. These officers will be allocated based on a review of resource requirements, led by the Policing Transformation Working Group.
• A RNC leadership position for the intimate partner violence unit.
• Support for ongoing police training, equipment, fleet, and operational requirements, as required for these initiatives.

In addition to public safety investments announced in November 2024, the Provincial Government has allocated nearly $40 million over the past five years to support the RCMP and RNC. Budget 2024 includes funding for 10 new frontline police officers for the RNC, along with continued resources to combat gun and gang activity. It also provides an extra $3 million to support RCMP operations, building on the $17 million allocated to the RCMP in 2022.

Quote
“This is another step in our government’s approach in strengthening the continuum of justice. By investing in additional resources, we are ensuring the safe operation of courts and correctional facilities, while also modernizing our system to increase satisfaction with the administration of justice in Newfoundland and Labrador.”
Honourable Bernard Davis
Minister of Justice and Public Safety

The following statement was given today in the House of Assembly by the Honourable John Hogan, KC, Minister of Health and Community Services:

Speaker, I rise in this honourable House to raise awareness about stuttering and how it affects the well-being of Newfoundlanders and Labradorians.

Stuttering can make it difficult to communicate with others, which can seriously affect individuals’ mental health.

The Provincial Government recognizes that there are unique challenges for people who stutter and we are very supportive of the work of the Newfoundland and Labrador Stuttering Association.

Each year, the Department of Health and Community Services provides funding to support “A Million Things I Need to Say” Walk, Run and Roll for Stuttering Awareness and Bursary Program Fundraiser.

The Bursary Program is open to preschool and school-age children, adolescents, adults and seniors who stutter and individuals challenged with communication disorders.

To learn more or to apply for a bursary, please visit NLstuttering.ca.

Speaker, I ask all honourable members to join me in recognizing the Stuttering Association for their commitment and dedication to the stuttering community.

Thank you, Speaker.

The Department of Transportation and Infrastructure has issued a Request for Proposals for the construction of a new school for Kenmount Terrace. The school will include pre-kindergarten to Grade 7 in English and French streams.

This new facility will be a three-story building, approximately 11,465 square metres, and will be accessible from Ladysmith Drive. It will include 44 classrooms for a projected enrolment of approximately 860 students and program spaces appropriate for the K-7 grade levels. The school will also include three pre-kindergarten homerooms for 60 children.

Once constructed, it is anticipated that the school will be the largest in the province with this grade configuration.

Budget 2024 allocated more than $52 million for school infrastructure, as well as $146 million allocated over the next three years for new schools in Cartwright, Kenmount Terrace, Portugal Cove-St. Philips, and Pilley’s Island, and planning for a new high school in Paradise.

Information on tenders issued and awarded by the department and other public bodies is available by visiting www.merx.com/govnl.

Quotes
“The issuing of the Request for Proposals for the construction of the new school is an important step in advancing this project for the Kenmount Terrace community. It will result in safe and modern infrastructure to support the needs of the growing population in the area. Our government recognizes that investing in school infrastructure enhances learning environments and outcomes for students.”

In 1931, the Government of Canada proclaimed that Remembrance Day would be observed on November 11. Every year since then, on this day, we remember; we attend memorial services, wear poppies close to our hearts and bow our heads in silence.

Why do we need to remember? Because we must honour all veterans from all wars and conflicts. By remembering, we pay tribute to the women and men who committed to the effort to create a better country and a better world.

Why do we need to remember? Because as time passes between conflicts and veterans pass away, the distance grows, and memories may dim. Many people only conceive of war as a complex, someplace-over-there notion presented to them on an electronic screen – and an argument could be made that they are fortunate, indeed.

Why must we remember? Because remembering means we recognize the sacrifices and know how high a price was paid for peace.

Why do we need to remember? Because those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.

We dare not ever forget.

Quote
“Lest we forget – such a short phrase, but three very powerful words. On Remembrance Day, we take the opportunity to recognize all of the men and women who showed incredible courage in the face of great danger. By recognizing their courage and remembering how much we needed them – and continue to need them – we show respect. The sacrifices were – and are – very real and a debt we can never repay. In remembering, we honour them.”
Susan Walsh
Seniors’ Advocate Newfoundland and Labrador

A ‘What We Heard’ Report containing feedback received from the consultation process to inform the regulations for the Pay Equity and Pay Transparency Act was released today by the Provincial Government. The consultations took place from March 11 to May 7, 2023.

It is important to note this Act is not simply about same pay for same work. The legislation seeks to ensure equal pay for work of equal value and will contribute to addressing the under-valuation of traditional female occupations, narrowing the gender wage gap, and advancing equity and well-being among all people.

While over 800 community groups, employer organizations, business owners, labour groups, equity seeking and women’s organizations, Indigenous Governments and Organizations, as well as the public were invited to take part in the consultation process, there was low participation. A total of 439 individuals completed the online questionnaire via engageNL, as members of the public, rather than as employees or employers in the public or private sectors. Sixty-four individuals participated in the in-person and virtual sessions, 37 of whom were employers. Statistics Canada reports that there are over 15,000 businesses throughout Newfoundland and Labrador.

Common themes from the consultation feedback include human resources capacity, data infrastructure and collection requirements, and privacy considerations. A need for guidance and training on how to tackle pay equity was also identified, particularly across different job types and roles, hours of work and compensation structures. The requirements to operationalize pay equity and pay transparency will require substantial planning and collaboration across government departments, offices, and agencies, as well as from employers and business owners within the public and private sectors.

The Provincial Government’s initial approach was to coincide the release of the ‘What We Heard’ Report with the release of the regulations. This work is taking longer to complete due to its complexity, so the information is being released now, so the public can be better informed on the discussions that must take place with employers and employees throughout the province to implement pay equity and pay transparency. Work going forward will include consideration of such things as the annual reporting design and the employers’ capacity to report accurately and consistently, data factors like required infrastructure, and collection standards, privacy implications, and ongoing compliance activities.

Quotes
“This government strongly believes that pay equity and pay transparency are achievable, but they must be done the right way, not a rushed way. I want to thank all those who participated in the consultation process for their enthusiasm, and for exercising their right to engage with government and advocate for the needs of women, gender-diverse people and those who have faced marginalization in our province.”
Honourable Pam Parsons
Minister Responsible for Women and Gender Equality

“As President of Treasury Board, I can confirm that the Provincial Government complies with pay equity standards and assesses jobs in a gender-neutral manner. Today, women account for over 50 per cent of the core public service and they are in roles such as executives, directors, managers, and judges. Fairness and equality are defining values for our government – indeed for our society as a whole. We will continue to champion the advancement of women and gender diverse people.”
Honourable Siobhan Coady
Deputy Premier and President of Treasury Board

“The ‘What We Heard’ Report shows that there is a need for more targeted consultation with employers and labour groups to inform the regulations. We are committed to this legislation and are working to ensure we take the time to get it right.”
Honourable Lisa Dempster
Minister of Environment and Climate Change
Minister Responsible for Labour

A Request for Proposals (RFP) has been issued by the Department of Transportation and Infrastructure to help advance the Atlantic Wildfire Centre to the next stage of development.  

The RFP is seeking an advisor to engage with relevant stakeholders to assess the centre’s infrastructure and space requirements, as well as operational and functional considerations. This is a key step in advancing the project toward the design and construction phase.   

In October 2024, the Provincial Government announced it would establish an Atlantic Wildfire Centre in Central Newfoundland, with operational infrastructure in Labrador, to strengthen and enhance efforts to protect Atlantic Canada’s communities and forests and provide leadership and expertise in wildfire fighting and prevention.  

The Atlantic Wildfire Centre provincial headquarters and operations/training centre for wildfire management and training will be located in Gander, as well as a hangar to house the Air Services Division of the Department of Transportation and Infrastructure. An operations office and aerial suppression infrastructure will be located at Wabush airport. 

Information on tenders issued and awarded by the department and other public bodies is available by visiting www.merx.com/govnl. The closing date for proposals is November 22, 2024. 

Quotes  

“The issuing of the Request for Proposals for an advisor is an important step in advancing this important initiative for our province. As I have said many times, we have a great team in place doing incredible work in our Air Services Division and in the Department of Fisheries, Forestry and Agriculture. This centre will provide them with the equipment, training and support needed for their continued service.”

Indigenous peoples have demonstrated incredible courage and a commitment to military service in Newfoundland and Labrador, and abroad. It is imperative that we recognize our responsibility to honour their sacrifices.

This past July, Minister Reid joined the Honourable Lisa Dempster, Minister of Labrador Affairs, and 10 Indigenous youth in France and Belgium as part of the Trail of the Caribou Pilgrimage to commemorate the 75th anniversary of Confederation. The youth represented the five Indigenous Governments and Organizations in the province – Nunatsiavut Government, Innu Nation, NunatuKavut Community Council, Miawpukek First Nation and Qalipu First Nation.

We encourage people to remember and reflect on the bravery of Indigenous peoples and their commitment to protect our families, homes and way of life.

The Honourable Andrew Parsons, KC, Minister of Industry, Energy and Technology, today announced $380,000 in funding for Sparrow BioAcoustics Inc. to support the completion of its final proof of concept for its digital stethoscope phone app.

The company’s app, called Stethophone, turns any smartphone into a medical-grade cardiac scanner, thereby enabling fast, convenient and effective early detection of common cardiac diseases. The app is approved for use by both doctors and the public in Canada and the U.S., which represents an industry first for smartphone stethoscope products, and is currently available for use in Apple smartphones.

Sparrow BioAcoustics has used tens of thousands of cardiac audio recordings to develop machine learning and AI models with the goal of providing diagnostic levels of accuracy acceptable to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). This project will support the development of more advanced AI that can be incorporated into the Stethophone app to enhance its functionality and provide sufficient medical accuracy to have the app cleared by the FDA as a Class II medical device. This proposal also incorporates a clinical study in the U.S. on up to 120 subjects.

Two new full-time positions will be created because of this project. Provided the FDA approves Class II medical device status, Sparrow BioAcoustics will work towards full commercialization of the software as an over-the-counter app on the Apple App Store and Android Marketplace. The Provincial Government’s investment helps to leverage a $349,000 investment from Sparrow BioAcoustics and a $500,000 investment from ACOA for total project funding of $1,229,000.

The Department of Industry, Energy and Technology offers programs to support research and development projects for both commercial and non-commercial applicants. These programs help de-risk projects with commercial potential, and support the development of highly qualified people, research, innovative programming, and infrastructure that have the potential to strengthen Newfoundland and Labrador’s research and development capacity.

Quotes
“Sparrow BioAcoustics is another in a growing series of health tech success stories, and further shows that important and impactful health innovations are being launched from here in our province with increasing frequency. Our department is pleased to support work that will put an advanced and much-needed cardiac diagnostic tool in the palm of the hand of anyone with a smartphone.”
Honourable Andrew Parsons, KC
Minister of Industry, Energy and Technology

“Sparrow BioAcoustics is doing amazing work in the fight against heart disease right here in Newfoundland and Labrador. With tech like their Stethophone, they are making it easier for folks to access quality heart care in their own homes.”
Honourable Gudie Hutchings
Minister of Rural Economic Development and Minister responsible for ACOA

“Investing in research and development projects in health care can be instrumental in helping people live a healthy, active lifestyle which aligns with the Health Accord’s recommendations.”
Honourable John Hogan, KC
Minister of Health and Community Services

“Having the provincial government support new and innovative businesses is a hallmark of this administration. I offer my congratulations and best wishes to this local company for their success to date here in the province and as it extends it business across the country.”
Honourable John G. Abbott
MHA for District of St. John’s East-Quidi Vidi

“Early detection leads to faster and better care. Our mission is to help millions of people by making cardiac screening accessible to everyone, everywhere, whenever they need it. It’s a problem worth solving and support here will make a huge impact.”
