Thank you, Madam Speaker.
The committee believes the GNWT can and should be a leader in the accessibility of financial reporting, and therefore recommends:
Recommendation 5
The Standing Committee on Government Operations recommends that the comptroller general, in consultation with the Office of the Auditor General of Canada and the Standing Committee on Government Operations, study potential changes to the public accounts to make them more user-friendly and accessible while ensuring a high degree of transparency and accountability from the Government of the Northwest Territories.
Conclusion
This concludes the Standing Committee on Government Operations Report on the Review of the 2018-2019 and 2019-2020 Public Accounts. The committee looks forward to the government's response to these recommendations.
Recommendation 6
The Standing Committee on Government Operations recommends that the Government of the Northwest Territories provide a response to this report within 120 days.
