I wish to report to the Legislative Assembly that the Standing Committee on Government Operations has reviewed Bill 7, Miscellaneous Statutes Amendment Act, 1999; Bill 10, Forgiveness of Debts Act, 1998-99; Bill 11, Write-off of Assets Act, 1998-99; and Bill 12, Write-off of Debts Act, 1998-99; and wishes to report that Bill 7, Bill 10, Bill 11 and Bill 12 are ready for consideration in committee of the whole.
