60a. Will the project result in the generation of revenues?
That is certainly the hope. Besides CEBC memberships, the revenue from Generate helps sustain CEBC as an organization. This is especially important over the next 3 years, given the uncertainty in the BC market. CEBC is unique to other industry associations in that we represent all clean energy fuel types, and also have a diverse membership that includes developers, operators, suppliers, post-secondary institutions and First Nations. Our diversity is our greatest strength and makes it important that we remain a strong and financially viable

As you all may already know, British Columbia is suffering financial losses because of the money spent on the Cariboo Road for the Cariboo Gold Rush (1858 to 1863). Now the province has over a million dollars in debt, and as we continue to live in depression, the money problems are remaining the same, and more and more people are leaving elsewhere. If British Columbia joins Confederation, Canada as a whole will take care of the province's debt and fund annually.
The power plant is expected to bring more jobs to San Jose during the construction phase. “This project also promises to save customers in California up to $1.8 billion dollars by 2010” (Levey 1) . There certainly is a very high demand in power with the growing technology industry. The state of California fears that if the power plant is not built there will be a shortage of power in the state. “If the San Jose City Council decides not to rezone land for the project, the state could take the unprecedented step of overriding a community's opposition to a new power plant. California has faced persistent power shortages this year. And state analysts already have recommended approving the project” (Levey 1) . If Calpine get approval to begin constructing the power plant, San Jose will have several problems in the future.

Working with Indigenous communities presents numerous opportunities and challenges for businesses as the potential for greater access to resources, both physical and intangible, is to be weighed against the barriers to efficiency that cultural differences create. With reference to the case study “Cameco corporation: Partnering with Aboriginal Communities,” appropriate processes and procedures that U92 Uranium Co. may adopt can be explored in terms of business strategy for involvement with such Indigenous communities.
There are a number of challenges, faced by Native American tribes around the end of the twentieth century, which require an examination. Phillip Martin discussed the economic problems that the Choctaw faced in "Philip Martin (Choctaw) Discusses the Challenges of Economic Development, 1988." He stated, "For many years the Choctaw people were at the bottom of the economic and social ladders, practically all of them subsisting as sharecroppers" (p. 487). Sharecroppers were extremely poor, hardly more than slaves in many situations. This report reveals how difficult of economic situation the Choctaw faced.
Making an investment towards a new project/product/company is hardly a simple process. Numerous factors including costs, benefits, time, and resources need to be taken into account before a decision to pursue a new project should be ventured into. At the end of the day prioritising projects and investing funds into projects that have the most potential towards favourable return on investment should be considered. Investment appraisal should not only be used for projects with a monetary return, it is also pertinent to use the tools where the return may not be easy to quantify such as training or development programs. Investment
In this day of globalization and social media, this has meant that these Native groups are reaching out to the world for support and to educate our political leaders and the populace about environmental concerns. This has resulted in a better understanding of Native spirituality. Groups such as the Thirteen Indigenous Grandmothers (http://www.grandmotherscouncil.org/), Idle No More (http://www.idlenomore.ca/), The Nibi Walk project (nibiwalk.org), The First Peoples Worldwide (http://firstpeoples.org/wp/), and numerous other groups have been created to promote environmental projects, sway political processes, and share the beliefs about why these things are important to Native

Canada is great economic superpower that has yet to reach its potential. As the second largest nation by area, we possess vast natural resources. We are a massive importer and exporter on the world stage, who a play a vital role in the stability of the northern hemisphere. Through Canada’s international trade, we export vast quantities of many different foods stuffs, minerals and manufactured goods like cars, while we tend to import lots of Iron, Aluminum and Steel. Our relations with neighbouring nations have been integral in the success of our trade. In 1994 Canada became a member of the North American Free Trade Agreement or NAFTA with the US and Mexico. NAFTA reorganized Canada’s and America’s trading systems to work as one. The trade issue of recent months is about the rising costs of energy in Canada and in the United States. Newly elected President George W. Bush now is proposing a North American energy initiative for a continental power grid. This proposal puts Canada in a very uncomfortable situation. On the one hand we would love to share our resources and appease our super-power to the south. But on the other we prefer to leave our pristine land alone. The growing trend nowadays is that politicians are the ones wanting to please the Americans by giving away our resources, while it is the activist who is concerned about the vast environmental damage this energy legislation could entail.
Budgeting Assignment A company's budget serves as a guideline in planning and committing costs in order to meet tactical and strategic goals. Tactical goals such as providing budgetary costs for daily operations, and strategic objectives that include R&D, production, marketing, and distribution are all part of the budgeting process. Serving as a guideline rather than being set in stone, the budget is a snapshot of a manager's "best thinking at the time it is prepared." (Marshall, 2003, p.496)
A blessing or a curse, you deside. In the next 20 years British Columbia's population is expected to flourish by approximately 40% and the power use is expected to expand by 50%. With the expected demand in power many have turned to the Site C Dam as an easy out. This project would be built on the Peace River and it would be the third dam on the river. This project is so big it would cost 7.9 billion dollars. Many would benefit from the project, but the same breath many would have a great deficiency. Which would cause political parties to favour either sides of the deal, such as the Green Party and the New Democratic Party. (NDP) More then 619 million dollars would benefit the government, the province, and the tax payers. More energy is expected to come due to the WAC Benette Dam's 5% reservoir. Even thou this project comes with some great benefits, it has some big draw backs, which also causes many to favour against. This project would cause permanent damage to the environment, land and animals.
Typically, in the public health field finding the sources of funding on projects is something that is tight at
To test the financial feasibility and plan acceptability, there must be information on the magnitude, and share of estimated project cost that are reimbursable. This information can be derived from cost allocation. Also where cost sharing is required in the multipurpose planning process cost allocation can be applied. Cost allocation also provides information necessary for allocating the real expenditures ensuring that the cost account are maintained in line with plan formulation and allocation principles during the subsequent c...
