States Greffe: Scrutiny
Deputy Susie Pinel
Minister for Treasury & Resources
By email
28th April 2021 Dear Minister
Corporate Services Scrutiny Panel
Fiscal Stimulus Fund – Tranche 2 documentation
The Panel is writing following your letter of the 14th April 2021, in which you indicated that you expected to be in a position to provide it with documentation detailing the Fiscal Stimulus Fund Tranche 2 allocation recommendations from the Fiscal Stimulus Oversight Group in the week commencing 19th April 2021.
Unfortunately, the required documentation has not been provided and the Panel wishes to express concern in the delayed provision of the documentation, especially if you are aiming to make final decisions regarding the tranche 2 allocations in the week commencing the 3rd May 2021 as indicated in your letter to the Panel.
Although the Panel will consider the recommendations when they are provided it would like to highlight that imposing an exceptionally short review period reduces the ability to provide detailed scrutiny.
In its tranche 2 review, the Panel aims to examine if those projects granted funding meet the specified criteria, as well as explore if the apprehensions identified in tranche 1 of the Panel comments have been alleviated, for example those surrounding diversification of benefit, lack of innovative use of public finances for both short and long-term gain and use of the Fund in projects that should appear in the Government Plan.
The Panel would be grateful for a response to this letter by Tuesday 4th May 2021. Yours sincerely
Senator Kristina Moore
Chair, Corporate Services Scrutiny Panel
