Legislative Assembly for the ACT: 1997 Week 7 Hansard (26 June) . . Page.. 2334 ..

The ACT Government will not stand idly by and watch this happen.

CanDeliver Limited will operate as a prime contractor to the Commonwealth Government and provide a mechanism for Territory businesses to take up the opportunity to capture business outsourced from the Commonwealth Government and other organisations both here in the ACT and elsewhere.

I should stress that this Bill is not about outsourcing ACT Government work. It is about keeping in Canberra jobs outsourced by the Commonwealth Government.

It is about taking advantage of the opportunity to be creative to establish a new business that over time can grow into a major source of employment for Canberra residents.

This Bill deserves the support of all Assembly members.
