Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, the Standing Committee on Accountability and Oversight met on Saturday, March 19, 2000, to review the interim appropriation for the Legislative Assembly and to review issues with government-wide implications that arose in the Standing Committee of Governance and Economic Development and the Standing Committee on Social Programs.
Under the Legislative Assembly, Mr. Chairman, we noted under the office of the languages commissioner that the term of the languages commissioner expires on May 31, 2000. This requires a timely response from the Legislative Assembly. Further noted is that the Official Languages Act is required to be reviewed in the first sitting of the Assembly in January, 2001.
Mr. Chairman, that concludes the remarks from the Standing Committee on Accountability and Oversight.
