The Standing Committee on Public Accounts is advising that it will hold a further public hearing to follow up on matters contained in the report of the Auditor General on the MV Veteran and MV Legionnaire on Wednesday, November 2 at 5:30 p.m. in the House of Assembly Chamber. The Committee also conducted a public hearing on this matter in March 2022.

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. Tomorrow’s hearing will follow up with former officials of the Department of Transportation and Infrastructure.

The public galleries of the House of Assembly will be open and a live audio feed of the proceedings will be available on the House of Assembly website.
