Mr. Arngna'naaq.

Mr. Chairman, I just wanted to make a few comments on the report. Being a Member of this committee I understand and, because this is the first time as a Member of this Assembly, I am informed that these recommendations are very similar to ones that have been made by other public accounts committees. In the form of motions, we have tried to make recommendations which will make the government more accountable, at least at the bureaucratic level.

The public accounts committee have indicated that they will hold more meetings and I, as a Member of that public accounts committee, would like to make sure that that does take place and that this committee will follow-up on their recommendations and call back those deputy ministers responsible for which we have made those recommendations to try to make them accountable.

Some of the recommendations which have been made are consistent with those made by the standing committee on finance and which I would think Members of the standing committee on finance would be able and willing to back the public accounts committee on their recommendations. From what I can see, it appears that the public accounts committee is a committee which makes the bureaucracy of this government accountable to this Assembly. Perhaps what we, as a public accounts committee, could do is take these motions and have them delivered to the respective departments they were made for.

We should be able to do something like that. I am told we have very sharp teeth. Any more comments? Is the committee agreed that the committee report is concluded?

Agreed.

----Agreed

Thank you. What is the wish of the committee? Mr. Dent.

The motion to report progress is not debatable. All those in favour? Opposed, if any? The motion is carried.

---Carried

I will now rise and report progress.
