Minister of Finance

and President of Treasury Board

and Minister Responsible for the Public Service Commission

Ordered to be printed by

the Honourable House of Assembly

EXPLANATORY

NOTES

This Bill would amend the Independent Appointments Commission Act

to confirm previously made changes in the

Schedule to that Act. Newfoundland and

Labrador Regulation 36/16, as amended, made additions to the Schedule. However,

by virtue of

section 15 of the Act, those additions do not survive beyond the

end of the next sitting of the House of Assembly. This Bill would confirm those

additions.

Further, the Bill would add a

provision that the Independent

Appointments Commission Act does not apply to appointments to the Legal Aid

Commission under subsection 3(3) of the Legal

Aid Act .
