Thank you, Mr. Chairman. In regard to this motion, any of these reports that we do get before standing committee would be very helpful in terms of how we plan out the business year. Without having these public accounts in place ahead of time, with some of the boards and agencies in their reporting, it is very difficult for committee to work on how we proceed with the business plans moving forward. Each year, whether or not departments spend all their funding or not, really reflects on how these reports are done.

Committee members, Regular Members going through the business planning cycle, it is a great opportunity to ensure that we get the best bang for our dollar but also know which programs are being efficient and which need help in the regions. Obviously, the motion is one that speaks towards efficiency and accountability towards the

governments and agencies that we work with in the Northwest Territories. Thank you.
