Thank you, Madam Chair. The Commissioner noted a notable lack of awareness amongst GNWT boards and agencies of the requirements and implications of the ATIPP Act. The Commissioner recommends that when appointing members to boards, the GNWT should ensure that at least senior members of boards and agencies receive ATIPP training, and that retraining be provided at least once every two years. The committee supports this recommendation.
The committee notes that substantial work has recently been undertaken to review GNWT boards and agencies. The committee suggests that if ATIPP training for boards and agencies has not already been taken into account in this review, that it may be appropriate to do so in the development and refinement of the GNWT boards and agencies governance framework.
Madam Chair...Mr. Chair...
