The colonial Governors of Fiji relied on the Executive Council for advice on proposals for legislation which, after being discussed in the Executive Council meetings, came before the Legislative Council in the form of bills. In this way, the Executive Council was the chief policy-making body and performed cabinet-like functions, but being advisory, was not yet a cabinet in function. This role changed in 1964 with the introduction of the membership system.
The first Executive Council
Immediately after Fiji was ceded to the United Kingdom, on 10 October 1874, the first Governor, Sir Hercules Robinson, established an Executive Council with himself as President and comprising six other Europeans.
Inclusion of Legislative Council members
Changes to the Constitution in 1916 provided for an Executive Council consisting of the Governor, Colonial Secretary, Attorney General, and such other persons as the Governor in pursuance of Royal instructions received through the Secretary of State for the Colonies, may from time to time appoint. From 1912, the Executive Council also included two unofficial (representatives of the community and not directly employed by the Government), who were European elected members of the Leislative Council. The first two European members were J. B. Turner and Henry Scott.
The Federal Executive Council is a body established by the Constitution of Australia to advise the Governor-General. The Governor-General is bound by convention to follow the advice of the Executive Council on almost all occasions, giving it de factoexecutive power. This power is used to legally enact the decisions of the Cabinet, which has no de jure authority.
The Federal Executive Council consists of all current and former Commonwealth ministers and assistant ministers (previously called parliamentary secretaries). Membership is governed by Section 64 of the Constitution, which stipulates that once appointed to a ministerial role, a person shall also be a member of the Executive Council. Membership is usually for life, however only those serving in the current ministry are actually involved in Council activities. Members of the Executive Council are entitled to the style 'The Honourable'. The Governor-General presides over meetings of the Executive Council, but is not a member.
This is a list of past and present Senators of Canada representing the province of Ontario. Ontario has had an allocation of 24 senators since the time of Confederation. The province is also one of four regional Senate divisions under Section 26 of the Constitution Act that allows for the expansion of the Senate by one or two senators per region.

Notes:
1 Senators are appointed to represent Ontario. Each senator may choose to designate a geographic area within Ontario as his or her division. 2 Senators are appointed by the Governor-General of Canada in the Queen's name on the recommendation of the prime minister. 3 Division designated as Toronto Centre from 000000001984-01-13-0000January 13, 1984 to 000000002001-02-14-0000February 14, 2001 and Toronto Centre-York from 000000002001-02-15-0000February 15, 2001 to the present.

The Ontario silver mine is a mine near Park City, Utah. It was purchased by George Hearst through R C Chambers from prospectors for $27,000 in 1872.
Hearst and his business partners James Ben Ali Haggin and Lloyd Tevis owned this mine and constructed the necessary infrastructure to make it productive, including hoists and stamp mill. The mine was not profitable for its first three years. According to legend, expenses of development substantially drained Hearst's financial resources. As a result of his straitened circumstances, Hearst sold his home and horses, and even dismissed his servants and enrolled his son William Randolph Hearst in public school. Chambers, who had been retained as manager, brought the bonanza ore body into production by the late 1870s. It eventually produced fifty million dollars worth of silver and lead.
By the time of Hearst's death in 1891, the Ontario mine had paid him more than $12 million in dividends. This was only one of the four big mines he had brought in in the West, including the Ophir on the Comstock Lode, the Homestake Mine (Nevada), and the Anaconda Copper Mine (Montana). The mine also made manager Chambers one of Utah's Bonanza Kings.

Of all the issues that can keep technology executives up at night, the labor shortage is far and away the biggest worry.
That’s just one of the findings from a recent CNBC Technology Executive Council survey conducted between October 1 and October 15. The quarterly survey examines the issues and concerns facing technology executives at some of the country’s leading companies. And while cyberattacks and supply chain disruptions that threaten to derail holiday shopping remain high on the list of worries of chief information officers, chief technology officers and others, the ability to find enough skilled workers outranks both those concerns.
Fifty-seven percent of the tech executives responding said finding qualified employees is the biggest concern for their company right now. Twenty-six percent said the supply chain is their biggest worry, and less than 20% named cybersecurity as their biggest fear.
Jim Serr, chief information officer at Joliet Junior College, says “we’re definitely finding it challenging in this environment to find appropriate qualified and skilled talent,” especially as the number of vacancies at the college has gone up as well.
Compared to the beginning of the year, nearly half of the respondents said it’s harder to find qualified workers now, a sharp uptick from the first quarter, when that was 36%. Nearly one-third of the IT executives polled said the search has gotten “significantly harder.” In the first quarter, just 6% of those polled described the situation that way.
Tony Costa, chief information officer at Bumble Bee Seafood, says the labor shortage “doesn’t discriminate” based on the kind of employees companies are looking to hire. “We’re all competing for the same talent, trying to offer the best incentives and work/life balance to get the workers we need,” he says.
Few companies — less than 3% — said their search for talent has gotten easier. Roughly 20% said the effort to find qualified employees remains the same as last year.
Andrew Laudato, chief operating officer of The Vitamin Shoppe, says his company has “a higher-than-average number of job openings and we’re seeing somewhat higher turnover in our stores and distribution centers.”
Keeping the talent they have
Retaining talent is also becoming a challenge. A new survey from learning software firm TalentLMS and Workable, shows that 72% of the 1,200 U.S. tech workers polled said they’re considering quitting their jobs in the next 12 months. Among the reasons: limited career progression, lack of work flexibility, feeling underappreciated, and toxic work environments.
Companies are responding to these challenges with a variety of solutions, respondents said in the TEC survey. While getting employees back to the office is the goal of many, nearly 70% of those surveyed said that they’ve increased their hiring of remote workers to get the talent they need.
Serr said Joliet Junior College has just rolled out a new Flex Work program which includes up to two remote days per week for full-time staff. For those jobs where remote work is not available, the college is offering flexible hours and days.
Almost half of TEC respondents said they’ve also modified job titles and descriptions for their open roles. Forty percent have partnered with external organizations to work on talent development, all in an effort to close the skills gap and attract more employees. A little over 21% have eliminated requirements that applicants have certain academic degrees, and 31% have created an apprenticeship program.

A new survey from learning software firm TalentLMS and Workable, shows that 72% of the 1,200 U.S. tech workers polled said they’re considering quitting their jobs in the next 12 months. Among the reasons: limited career progression, lack of work flexibility, feeling underappreciated, and toxic work environments.
Companies are responding to these challenges with a variety of solutions, respondents said in the TEC survey. While getting employees back to the office is the goal of many, nearly 70% of those surveyed said that they’ve increased their hiring of remote workers to get the talent they need.
Serr said Joliet Junior College has just rolled out a new Flex Work program which includes up to two remote days per week for full-time staff. For those jobs where remote work is not available, the college is offering flexible hours and days.
Almost half of TEC respondents said they’ve also modified job titles and descriptions for their open roles. Forty percent have partnered with external organizations to work on talent development, all in an effort to close the skills gap and attract more employees. A little over 21% have eliminated requirements that applicants have certain academic degrees, and 31% have created an apprenticeship program.

Title: What is Executive Council (Commonwealth countries)
Created on: 2018-07-18

Description: An Executive Council in Commonwealth constitutional practice based on the Westminster system is a constitutional organ which exercises executive power and advises the governor or governor-general. Executive Councils often make decisions via Orders in Council. Executive Councillors are informally called "ministers". Some Executive Councils, especially in Canada and Australia, are chaired by a President or a Vice-President. In other Commonwealth countries there is no formal president of the Executive Council, although meetings are held in the presence of the Governor-General, Governor or President and decisions require his or her assent. These Councils have almost the same functions as the privy council in the United Kingdom and Canada, and accordingly, decisions of the cabinet gain legal effect by being formally adopted by the Executive Council, if the cabinet itself is not also the Executive Council.
