COMMITTEE MOTION 11-16(4): GOVERNMENT OPERATORS REPORT 2-16(4): PROCUREMENT POLICY, PROCUREMENT COUNCIL AND TRAINING, CARRIED

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I move that this committee recommends that the Government of the Northwest Territories consolidate its policy and guidance on contracting into one easily accessible document that links all information necessary to award and administer contracts, including incentive and preference agreements; and further, that the government foster the activities of the Procurement Council; and furthermore, that the government provide procurement and contract administration-specific training.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

The motion is in order. To the motion.
