Members of the Standing Committee on Accountability and Oversight suggested that the government establish linkages between their third-party accountability framework and their Knowledge Management Strategy (KMS). The KMS is a Government of the Northwest Territories strategy consisting of a review of information technology organization and operations within the government and boards and agencies. The standing committee is of the position that accurate, coordinated and well-managed information databases and communication linkages will contribute to increased effectiveness for the Department of Health and Social Services as well as improving third-party accountability.
