Committee Legacy Report

Meeting report

Opening comments:

The Chairperson welcomed everyone on the platform. He mentioned that the purpose of the meeting was to adopt the reviewed legacy report which summarised what the Committee had done over the last five years, and also gave recommendations to the incoming Seventh Parliament. All had read and reviewed the report, so they would only adopt it today.

He noted the absentee with apology.

He then called for the draft legacy report to be flighted in large font so they could go over it page by page. The Committee Secretariat flighted the draft legacy report.
