The standards directive will be reviewed. However, the government response was confusing in that it talked about presenting the strategy during the Legislative Assembly review of the 1993-94 capital in February, 1993 rather than November, 1992. It indicated that the standards were presented to S.C.O.F. in Norman Wells and accepted by the committee. To be clear the standards were not accepted by this committee in Norman Wells or anywhere else, the committee expects that a strategy for office and renovations standards be approved by the Assembly reflecting current fiscal realities by March 31, 1993.

It is the standing committee's understanding that there are economies of scale to be achieved by having one agency. For example, the petroleum products division should take responsibility for tank farms in the communities, rather than continuing with the current system where the N.W.T. Power Corporation builds and maintains their own separate tank farms. This would result in cost savings to the territorial government.
