Thank you, Mr. Chair. I move that this Assembly recommends that the Department of Finance consider amending the Non-consolidated Schedule of Bad Debt Write-offs, Forgiveness and Student Loan Remissions by removing the names of those who have received student loan remissions and reporting only the amount of the remissions. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Kevin O'Reilly Frame Lake
Thanks, Mr. Chair. This was an issue that I raised in the review of the public accounts. Somewhere buried in those three or four volumes is a list of all of the students whose loans have been remitted and how much is outstanding, and they actually have the individual names of the students, which I found to be an invasion of their privacy. So I think that's what this is aimed at, trying to find a way to disclose what those amounts are without invading people's privacy. So I do support this and look forward to the other side responding in an appropriate manner. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Mr. Chair, my only comment on this is: whatever happened to transparency? Thank you.

Kieron Testart Kam Lake
Thank you, Mr. Chair. The committee carefully considered this recommendation and, looking at the detail provided on other areas in the report in the public accounts, we felt that this was over and above what others — an example is contaminated sites. There is no inventory of contaminated sites, but there is an inventory of everyone receiving student loan remission. These are not bad debts; these are students in the remission process. So to the honourable Member from Thebacha's point, transparency is important and the amounts owing certainly are, but attaching them to people who are not carrying bad debts, the committee felt that that was inappropriate to do. We want to ensure that students have their privacy protected, especially students that are following the remission process carefully and accurately. Thank you.
