John Pollard Hay River

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The purpose of the Write-off of Assets and Debts Act, 1992 is to authorize the write-off of certain debts listed in the schedule to the act. Pursuant to the Financial Administration Act, the write-off of government assets or debts exceeding $20,000 must receive Legislative Assembly approval. The write-offs being proposed in this act will not require a new appropriation. The write-offs will be charged against allowances for bad debts which were established in previous departmental budgets, at a time that it is determined collection of the debts would be unlikely.
