The Standing Committee on Public Accounts is advising that it will hold a public hearing to follow up on matters contained in the report of the Auditor General on the MV Veteran and MV Legionnaire on Monday, March 21 and Tuesday, March 22 in the House of Assembly Chamber. The proceedings will begin at 10:45 a.m. on Monday and 9 a.m. on Tuesday.
The MV Veteran and MV Legionnaire report is the result of a request from the Public Accounts Committee to the Auditor General in March 2018 to undertake a review of the process used to purchase the two vessels and the number of concerns related to mechanical issues since they came into service. The public hearing will follow up with current and former officials of the Department of Transportation and Infrastructure.
The public galleries of the House of Assembly will be open. Consistent with protocols that are in effect in Confederation Building Complex for employees and visitors, proof of vaccination and masks will be required.
A live audio feed of the proceedings will be available on the House of Assembly website.
