Committee Motion 345-19(2): Present Performance Measures and Regular Reporting, Carried

Mr. Chair, I move that this committee recommends that the Department of Health and Social Services present performance measures for each activity in the addictions, prevention, and recovery work plan and provide a timeline for implementation. The department should report on progress with a webbased tracker, similar to Education, Culture and Employment's Action Plan to Improve Student Outcomes Progress Tracker on a quarterly basis and a public briefing at committee in spring/summer 2023 before the 19th Assembly ends. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Mahsi. The motion is in order. Mr. Johnson.

Yeah, thank you, Mr. Chair. Yeah, the department has a webbased tracker for the child and family services audit, and the department of education has one for their education audit. So I think it should just become at this point somewhat standard process to create one of those webbased trackers on each of the recommendations. And then I also just the public briefing part is just as much to committee. The Standing Committee on Government Operations regularly reviews these audits, makes these reports, and then perhaps doesn't do the best job of following up to see whether they're being implemented. So it is committee's intention to go back through all of the previous audits and to follow up on them beginning with this one. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Mahsi. The motion is in order. To the motion.
