Thank you, Mr. Speaker. During my Member’s statement today I talked about the issue of performance audits. What I really wanted to try to characterize is the fact that performance audits are

actually like a barometer test. They tell you how healthy an organization is by looking at how the organization deals with its policies and are we getting value for money.

So, Mr. Speaker, my question goes to the newly minted Finance Minister. I’m curious if he understands the importance of the issue I’m raising, and would he be willing to implement a Crown corporation accountability act along with the updating of the GNWT’s FAA, the Financial Administration Act.
