by Auditor General Kim Adair says the completion rate of her office’s recommendations has slipped so much in the past three years it raises questions about government’s commitment to get them done.
Adair says the provincial government has completed just 76% of the 2019 recommendations and she says that’s a below-normal rate after three years.
She says momentum has further slowed to 45% and 42% in completing 2020 and 2021 recommendations.
Adair says the Public Works Department is responsible for more than half of the 11 recommendations still not completed from 2019 audits.
She says Public Works has completed just one of the seven recommendations from the 2019 audit of The Selection and Quality Management of Bridge Projects in Central and Western Districts.
