The committee held three public hearings during the inquiry. Due to restrictions associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, these were conducted via videoconference. During the hearings the committee heard from ACT government ministers, directorate officials and others about a range of issues affecting the ACT community.
The report makes 26 recommendations to the ACT government, covering several portfolio areas. A total of 56 questions were lodged during the inquiry. This includes 31 questions taken on notice during the hearings and 25 questions submitted by members of the committee and other members of the Assembly.
Regrettably, the committee received several late responses to questions. There were also four responses that had not been received as at the date of the committee report. Accordingly, the committee reminds all members to ensure that responses to questions are provided in a timely manner. The committee has made a recommendation to this effect in its report.
On behalf of the committee, I would like to thank those who participated in or otherwise assisted with this inquiry, including ministers, directorate officials and statutory officers. I commend the committee’s report to the Assembly.
Question resolved in the affirmative.
