of the cost of Hokkaido development |
|
Even after the Hokkaido Development
Agency moved to the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, the
necessary funds for public work projects appropriated by the Central Government
Basic Reform Act and the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport
Establishment Act were lumped together as before. This was to guarantee
the necessary budget for core development projects promoted in Hokkaido
comprehensive development according to plan.
Furthermore, concerning principal projects among these public
work projects, as before a special padding measure was attached to the high
grant rate of government liability, and the range of direct projects was
extended to assure the smooth promotion of Hokkaido development, especially
for directly controlled projects of wider scope, showing that the country's
plan for the development of Hokkaido has not changed.
In addition to the bracketed budget for public work projects
(the Hokkaido development work costs) for projects under the control of
the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport which is administered
by this ministry, funds are transferred to or special account were set up
for each of the other ministries, which are Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry
and Fisheries, Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare and the Ministry of
the Environment to execute their own projects. |
