Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of FMBS. Mr. Speaker, I will refer to Tabled Document 53-13(3), Report of the Auditor General for Canada on the Legislative Assembly of the NWT. Mr. Speaker, the Auditor General states that the Financial Administration Act -- FAA -- sets out requirements for every public agency to prepare and submit an annual report.

The annual report is an important part of the accountability process. The report can provide standing committee Members, on behalf of the Legislative Assembly, with important information to help them hold and to keep management accountable. However, Mr. Speaker, the NWT Power Corporation, the NWT Business Corporation and the NWT Liquor Commission have lapsed over 240 days without submitting said annual report, and no 60-day extension was requested. Mr. Speaker, has the Minister directed FMBS to follow up with said agencies and boards to ensure that the annual reports are tabled in a timely manner, allowing for the accountability process that I have been continually asking about? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
