Question 26-15(3): Standing Committee On Non-Tax-Based Communities For The 15th Assembly

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I believe this question will be directed to the Premier. I have before me the 14th Legislative Assembly final report of the Special Joint Committee on Non-Tax-Based Community Affairs. What strikes me in this report is that it recommended the establishment of a standing committee on non-taxed based communities. I am wondering if the government has looked at that and are willing to proceed with that in the 15th Assembly.

Speaker: MR. SPEAKER

Mr. Premier.

Return To Question 26-15(3): Standing Committee On Non-Tax-Based Communities For The 15th Assembly

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. That is a decision of the Legislative Assembly, not a decision of our government. So it would be up to all of us to make that decision. Thank you.
