The Standing Committee on Public Accounts advises it will conduct a public hearing to follow up on matters contained in the Auditor General’s Nalcor Energy audit reports on Wednesday, November 29 at 9:30 a.m. in the House of Assembly Chamber. The Auditor General released two reports in fall 2022 further to performance audits of Nalcor Energy concerning discretionary expenses, conflict of interest and the use of embedded contractors, and compensation.

The Public Accounts Committee was briefed by the Auditor General and officials on the findings and recommendations of both audit reports and requested an action plan from Newfoundland and Labrador Hydro for implementation of the Auditor General’s recommendations. Officials from the organization will appear before the Committee to answer questions related to matters contained in the audit reports and the action plan response.

The public galleries of the House of Assembly will be open and audio of proceedings will be streamed live on the House of Assembly website and on Facebook.

The agenda for the hearing follows.
