Yes. I think if you look at the reason for forgiveness ... As I said to an earlier question asked by Mr. Ningark, this is the last bell of trying to write these loans off. There are a variety of reasons for the arrangements that we've made. Some are negotiated settlements that are done by the department or the credit corporation, some are bankruptcies and that just gets handled through the bankruptcy procedure, and some are decided on the public interest. Most of these are dealt with through the different agencies of government. Thank you.

I just heard Mr. Todd say that most of these are dealt with through the different agencies in the government. Does that mean each particular department is responsible for its collection?

BCC has the responsibility to collect their loans and other government departments come through FMBS.

Does that mean that FMBS is the ultimate one that does the chasing on these accounts?

That's correct, Mr. Chairman, either directly through Justice or through the collection agency. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I move that this committee recommends that the Financial Management Board conduct a review of all Government of the Northwest Territories operational procedures relating to credit granting and control;
And further, that the Financial Management Board prepare an analysis of the operational procedures of the Business Credit Corporation and the Northwest Territories Development Corporation relating to credit granting and control;
And further, that these reviews include proposals to improve the procedures for the write-off or forgiveness of loans made with public funds;
And further, that these reviews be provided to the Standing Committee on Government Operations on or before April 26, 1996.
