Scope and content
Forms part of the Nova Scotia Executive Council and includes Cabinet Agendas from October 1978 to December 1981, Meetings of government agendas from 1968 to 1979 and Management Board agenda, minutes and cross reference files, 1979 to 1981. Cabinet Agendas record the items before each meeting of the cabinet and have been annotated with the outcomes of the cabinet’s deliberations. They also record the intended appearance before cabinet of outside groups or departmental staff making presentations. In keeping with the convention that all cabinet decisions are decisions of the whole cabinet the outcomes are recorded as OK, stood or deferred. Most items reflect a number system for items being routed to the cabinet. Includes occasional miscellaneous supporting documents and explanatory correspondence. The start of this material corresponds to the 1978 change of government and the commencement of the John Buchanan administration. There is a file for each meeting. Meetings of government files are arranged by year and contain the agenda for each, usually weekly, meeting of cabinet. Generally these files do not record outcomes of maters before the cabinet. The last two years substantially overlap with the Cabinet agenda files for each meeting. Management Board files contain agendas and minutes of Management Board meetings from its inception in 1979 to 1981. The documents record items before this committee of Cabinet and the outcomes in which matters were approved, forwarded to the full cabinet, or sent back to the originating department. Agenda item numbering is based on a tracking system for all documents going to cabinet committees. Included in the records are cross reference files which index agenda items by originating department. Management Board files were formerly kept in binders.
