COMMITTEE MOTION 138-17(5): FACILITY MANAGEMENT, CARRIED

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I move that this committee recommends that the Department of Justice develop the processes and safeguards necessary to ensure that staff are knowledgeable about the rules they are required to enforce and that they have the training necessary to do their jobs effectively. Thank you Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Dolynny. Motion is in order. To the motion. Mr. Dolynny.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Again, the motion is fairly self-explanatory, but I believe the other message that it’s trying to convey is that the department, through the Auditor General’s observations, had very little in the form of monitoring the performance of the training that was completed by our staff and I found that to be a bit problematic. If you don’t know what calibre your staff are, it can very hard to initiate the programs and services that we’re compelled to do under statutory obligations. So, we recommend that this motion not only enforce the rules that need to be applicable to the safeguards of our institutions and to the proper training but we make sure we have the proper database and also that the continuing education and credentials are kept in order. So, if any of these programs are expired, we know very well what type of investment we have to do to get our staff to the right level of satisfaction in terms of job requirements. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Dolynny. To the motion.
