Therefore, I move that the Department of Public Works and Services develop the office accommodation plan that most effectively and efficiently houses headquarters personnel. The cost-benefit analyses which accompany the plan should be based on a consideration of savings that could be achieved in the current commercial real estate market. This plan, along with the cost-benefit assessment, should be made available to the Standing Committee on Finance prior to review of the department's budget in committee of the whole.

The committee further recommends that the department go to public tender for all aspects of rationalizing office accommodation in Yellowknife, including moving and improvement in addition to the space itself, starting with the 1994-95 fiscal year. Thank you.
