The committee noted that there have been changes in the structure of government and the methods by which it delivers programs. The comptroller general indicated that upwards of 50 percent of the Government of the NWT's budget is being delivered by third parties. Further to this, it is unclear what systems and procedures the government has in place to monitor third-party compliance with the conditions of contribution agreements. Without proper monitoring, the government will not have a complete picture of whether important policy objectives are being met. Monitoring of compliance with the conditions of the contribution agreements is important to ensure that the intended results have been achieved.
