  • 50 Standing Committee on Crown and Central Agencies
    Chapter 50 Chapter 50 Standing Committee on Crown and Central Agencies 1.0 MAIN POINTS Through its work and recommendations, the Standing Committee on Crown and Central Agencies (Committee) can help the Legislative Assembly (Assembly) hold the Government accountable for its management of the Crown Investments Corporation of Saskatchewan (CIC) and its subsidiary corporations. The Committee does this, in part, by reviewing chapters in our Reports, and the annual reports and financial statements of agencies within its subject area. It reports to the Assembly on the results of its review. These reports may contain recommendations resulting from our audit work. On January 6, 2016, the Committee tabled a report with the Assembly on the results of its review. This report contains 66 Committee recommendations resulting from our audit work. At September 30, 2016, the Government had fully implemented 83% of these 66 recommendations, and partially implemented 91% of the remaining recommendations. At September 30, 2016, the Committee had not reviewed several years of annual reports of CIC and two of its subsidiaries. 2.0 INTRODUCTION This chapter provides an overview of the role and responsibilities of the Committee, focusing on those responsibilities related to our Office’s work. Also, it describes the overall status of the Committee’s recommendations resulting from our Office’s work, the status of its consideration of our work, and the status of the Committee’s review of annual reports of CIC and its subsidiary corporations. 2.1 Role and Responsibilities of the Standing Committee on Crown and Central Agencies The Committee is one of the Assembly’s four policy field committees.

A mysterious fire on Dec. 1 gutted the house on 4th Avenue N.E. where Garry Williams lived with his partner Joan Sparvier and their five children between the ages of two and 22. After that fire the family moved into the Ituna hotel while the damage to their house was being re- paired. They were burned out of the hotel when it was de- stroyed by fire on Dec. 10. They were about to move back into the house in early January when it again caught fire. “We’re really scared, afraid. We’re all jumpy. None of this makes any sense,” Sparvier told Grasslands News last week as she fought back tears. “I’m getting Scheer presents Legion funding ALAN HUSTAK | GRASSLANDS NEWS paranoid.” Legion vice president Jenny Melanson accepts a $15,605 COVID-19 relief cheque from local MP The family lost everything in the first fire which Andrew Scheer.
