IV INTRODUCTION The Index of the Standing and Special Committees is designed to provide easy access to topics discussed in the Legislative Assembly. For this reason it corresponds strictly to the text of the Committee Hansards. FORMAT The index is in two sections:

(1) Subject index, and

(2) Appendices. Subject Index: Main entry in this

section is a subject heading which may be subdivided. Following the main entry are secondary headings, " see" and "see also" references, and a listing of individuals who spoke on that subject. Appendices: Included in this

section is a complete list of Chairpersons and dates elected, Public Presenters and Crown Corporation staff and Committee schedules. FILING ARRANGEMENT The basic filing principle is alphabetical, letter by letter. The sequence is as follows:

a) numbers are filed at the beginning of the alphabet, if they are the first character in the filing element;

b) initials separated by punctuation are filed at the beginning of their alphabetic group.
