COMMITTEE MOTION 60-17(4): PROVISION OF FINAL ACCOUNTS TO COMMITTEE IMMEDIATELY UPON SIGN-OFF, CARRIED
Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I move that this committee recommends that the Minister of Finance provide the committee with the final public accounts immediately upon sign-off, with the understanding that the committee may conduct a public review before the document is tabled in the Legislative Assembly.
Thank you, Ms. Bisaro. To the motion. Ms. Bisaro.
Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I would just like to say that the committee was pleased to see that the Finance department had produced the public accounts earlier than in the previous year. We would like to, as a committee, conclude the review of the public accounts as soon as possible after the audit is finished and so this allows us, within our rules, to hold a public hearing prior to having the document tabled in the Assembly. It will allow committee to speed up the review of the public accounts. Thank you.
Thank you, Ms. Bisaro. To the motion.
