Achievements Under the 2009-2013 Agreement Sample Clauses

Achievements Under the 2009-2013 Agreement. The funds that were granted under the Canada – Ontario Agreement for 2009 to 2013 supported Ontario’s efforts to reduce the significant gaps that exist between the French-language and English-language postsecondary education and training systems. In particular the funds supported initiatives that aimed at: • Improving access to French-language college and university programs; • Increasing the participation of Francophones in postsecondary studies in their mother tongue; and • Keeping graduates from French-language secondary schools in Ontario’s French-language postsecondary education system. These funds have made it possible to support and implement a number of specific initiatives that have encouraged the development of French-language postsecondary education in Ontario. For example, the funds have allowed certain institutions to continue offering courses with small numbers of students in a number of fields, in particular in Engineering and the Applied Sciences. The funds have also been used to assess and adjust existing programs and to develop new courses, including distance courses, as well as the pedagogical and multi-media materials connected with those courses. In addition, approximately 725 first-year Francophone students have received a $1,500 bursary for studying in French in each of the years of the Agreement, except for the final year, when that bursary was cancelled. The funding provided under the Agreement has made it possible to develop resources to support students, such as the University of Ottawa’s Visez juste, en français program, La Cité collégiale’s Tremplinguistique program, Xxxxxxx College’s Salon francophone event. It has also allowed the province’s bilingual and French-language postsecondary institutions to offer many services that provide help with writing and the integration of new students. These initiatives have bolstered the retention and academic success of Francophone students. Bilingual and French-language postsecondary institutions have used the funding under the Agreement to develop networking activities, initiatives for raising awareness about postsecondary education and “reach ahead” programs with French-language secondary schools as well as with certain English-language school boards that offer immersion programs. These initiatives have allowed students in those school boards to become familiar with Ontario’s postsecondary education system and provided opportunities to promote programs and services being offered.

  • Actions Taken Under the Program The actions taken by the Recipient under the Program include the following:

  • Statement of Rights Under the Newborns’ and Mothers Health Protection Act Under federal law, group health plans and health insurance issuers offering group healthcare coverage generally may not restrict benefits for any hospital length of stay in connection with childbirth for the mother or newborn child to less than forty-eight (48) hours following a vaginal delivery, or less than ninety-six (96) hours following a delivery by cesarean section. However, the plan or issuer may pay for a shorter stay if the attending provider (e.g., your physician, nurse midwife, or physician assistant), after consultation with the mother, discharges the mother or newborn earlier. Also, under federal law, plans and issuers may not set the level of benefits or out-of- pocket costs so that any later portion of the 48-hour (or 96-hour) stay is treated in a manner less favorable to the mother or newborn than any earlier portion of the stay. In addition, a plan or issuer may not, under federal law, require that a physician or other healthcare provider obtain authorization for prescribing a length of stay of up to 48 hours (or 96 hours). In accordance with R.I. General Law §27-20-17.1, this plan covers a minimum inpatient hospital stay of forty-eight (48) hours from the time of a vaginal delivery and ninety-six

  • Goals and Objectives of the Agreement Agreement Goals The goals of this Agreement are to: ● Reduce wildfire risk related to the tree mortality crisis; ● Provide a financial model for funding and scaling proactive forestry management and wildfire remediation; ● Produce renewable bioenergy to spur uptake of tariffs in support of Senate Bill 1122 Bio Market Agreement Tariff (BioMat) for renewable bioenergy projects, and to meet California’s other statutory energy goals; ● Create clean energy jobs throughout the state; ● Reduce energy costs by generating cheap net-metered energy; ● Accelerate the deployment of distributed biomass gasification in California; and ● Mitigate climate change through the avoidance of conventional energy generation and the sequestration of fixed carbon from biomass waste. Ratepayer Benefits:2 This Agreement will result in the ratepayer benefits of greater electricity reliability, lower costs, and increased safety by creating a strong market demand for forestry biomass waste and generating cheap energy. This demand will increase safety by creating an economic driver to support forest thinning, thus reducing the risk of catastrophic wildfire and the associated damage to investor-owned utility (IOU) infrastructure, such as transmission lines and remote substations. Preventing this damage to or destruction of ratepayer-supported infrastructure lowers costs for ratepayers. Additionally, the ability of IOUs to use a higher- capacity Powertainer provides a much larger offset against the yearly billion-dollar vegetation management costs borne by IOUs (and hence by ratepayers). The PT+’s significant increase in waste processing capacity also significantly speeds up and improves the economics of wildfire risk reduction, magnifying the benefits listed above. The PT+ will directly increase PG&E’s grid reliability by reducing peak loading by up to 250 kilowatt (kW), and has the potential to increase grid reliability significantly when deployed at scale. The technology will provide on-demand, non- weather dependent, renewable energy. The uniquely flexible nature of this energy will offer grid managers new tools to enhance grid stability and reliability. The technology can be used to provide local capacity in hard-to-serve areas, while reducing peak demand. Technological Advancement and Breakthroughs:3 This Agreement will lead to technological advancement and breakthroughs to overcome barriers to the achievement of California’s statutory energy goals by substantially reducing the LCOE of distributed gasification, helping drive uptake of the undersubscribed BioMAT program and increasing the potential for mass commercial deployment of distributed biomass gasification technology, particularly through net energy metering. This breakthrough will help California achieve its goal of developing bioenergy markets (Bioenergy Action Plan 2012) and fulfil its ambitious renewable portfolio standard (SB X1-2, 2011-2012; SB350, 2015). The PT+ will also help overcome barriers to achieving California’s greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction (AB 32, 2006) and air quality improvement goals. It reduces greenhouse gas and criteria pollutants over three primary pathways: 1) The PT+’s increased capacity and Combined Heat and Power (CHP) module expand the displacement of emissions from conventional generation; 2) the biochar offtake enables the sequestration of hundreds of tons carbon that would otherwise have been released into the atmosphere; and 3) its increased processing capacity avoids GHG and criteria emissions by reducing the risk of GHG emissions from wildfire and other forms of disposal, such as open pile burning or decomposition. The carbon sequestration potential of the biochar offtake is particularly groundbreaking because very few technologies exist that can essentially sequester atmospheric carbon, which is what the PT+ enables when paired with the natural forest ecosystem––an innovative and groundbreaking bio-energy technology, with carbon capture and storage. Additionally, as noted in the Governor’s Clean Energy Jobs Plan (2011), clean energy jobs are a critical component of 2 California Public Resources Code, Section 25711.5(a) requires projects funded by the Electric Program Investment Charge (EPIC) to result in ratepayer benefits. The California Public Utilities Commission, which established the EPIC in 2011, defines ratepayer benefits as greater reliability, lower costs, and increased safety (See CPUC “Phase 2” Decision 00-00-000 at page 19, May 24, 2012, xxxx://xxxx.xxxx.xx.xxx/PublishedDocs/WORD_PDF/FINAL_DECISION/167664.PDF). 3 California Public Resources Code, Section 25711.5(a) also requires EPIC-funded projects to lead to technological advancement and breakthroughs to overcome barriers that prevent the achievement of the state’s statutory and energy goals. California’s energy goals. When deployed at scale, the PT+ will result in the creation of thousands of jobs across multiple sectors, including manufacturing, feedstock supply chain (harvesting, processing, and transportation), equipment operation, construction, and project development. Additional Co-benefits: ● Annual electricity and thermal savings; ● Expansion of forestry waste markets; ● Expansion/development of an agricultural biochar market; ● Peak load reduction; ● Flexible generation; ● Energy cost reductions; ● Reduced wildfire risk; ● Local air quality benefits; ● Water use reductions (through energy savings); and ● Watershed benefits.
