3.  Medium Term Financial Plan

The  Committee  noted  the  outcome  of  the  meeting  between  the President, Chief Minister, Assistant Minister Treasury and Resources, Treasurer of the States [ToS] and Senator Ferguson in respect of the Medium Term Financial Plan as follows:

1. The ToS would meet the Chairman, Corporate Services Scrutiny Panel and Scrutiny Officer to discuss overview of the MTFP;
2. The ToS would brief the Scrutiny Officers;
3. The ToS would brief each Scrutiny Panel with the relevant Chief Officer and Finance Director in attendance.

These briefings could start after 7th May.

Also the ToS was not averse to delaying the debate of the MTFP until November or linking with the budget debate but she needed to discuss this with the Minister for Treasury and Resources.
