Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The next area we looked at was government travel. The Government of the Northwest Territories spends about $70 million annually on travel. The Auditor General identified significant problems with the management and control of government travel. There is no comprehensive travel policy. Over the years, the travel policy has become fragmented and appears in several documents. The committee was particularly concerned at the way some travel policies have become institutionalized in union agreements. These tie the hands of government, and making changes is difficult. We, therefore, have a recommendation pertaining to that, Mr. Chairman.
Motion To Accept Recommendation 9, Carried
I move that government should produce a single document that contains all travel-related policies and procedures; that the document should be distributed to all government departments, corporations and agencies, and that it must be updated regularly.
