(a)

The Department of Government requiring the
course should request the same through the
Department of Education who would then
allocate the course to the college involved
and participate with the college in the
creation of the curricula.

(ii) For programmes designed for the disadvantaged
and those requiring rehabilitation, the
organizing and funding should continue to be
co-ordinated by the Department of Education.
Provincial Departments of Health & Hospital
Insurance Services and the Department of
Human Resources have statutory responsibility
for individuals in distress circumstances and
will make referrals to programmes through the
Department of Education.

With agencies external to Government

 

With the exception of the Federal Government and the
Provincial Government, all other agencies should deal
directly with the Regional Colleges.

Department of Education

 

For the present and in the initial stages of the melded
colleges, the existing arrangements between the colleges
and the Department of Education should be continued. It.
is essential that in every way the local autonomy of the
college should be recognized and protected.

Department of Labour

 

In respect to those vocational programmes sponsored by
the Provincial Department of Labour, the Department of
Education should continue to co-ordinate the programmes
within the principles of agreements presently existing
between the departments.

General

In general, Colleges will negotiate directly with Federal
Government Agencies such as the Department of Indian
Affairs in all inatters; however, since agreements exist
between the Province and the Senior Covernment for major
programmes sponsored by the Department of Manpower &
Immigration on which the Province depends for substantial
funding of vocational programmes, the existing arrance-
ments for purchase procedures and contracts should remain.
