Members are concerned that the implementation of the Records Information Management System (RIMS) is taking more time than it should. It is hoped that the department addresses this issue before it becomes another costly and unwieldy government management system.
The Standing Committee on Governance and Economic Development recommends that the Department of Public Works and Services implement a revised overall government-wide records management plan that all government departments can adhere to and incorporate by March 2001. That concludes the committee's report, Mr. Chairman.
