COMMITTEE MOTION 80-17(4): AUDITING INCOME SECURITY FILES, CARRIED

Mr. Chair, I move that this committee recommends that in accordance with its program requirements, the Department of Education, Culture and Employment should review a selection of income security files periodically, to ensure that clients receive benefits to which they are entitled. The department should establish a framework to identify files to audit, based on predetermined criteria. Results should be reported to the director of income security annually.

Thank you, Ms. Bisaro. The motion is in order. To the motion.
