Issue 2 -- Report of the Committee

Wednesday, May 8, 1996.

The Standing Senate Committee on Social Affairs, Science and Technology has the honour to present its

THIRD REPORT

Your Committee, to which was referred the Bill C-18, An Act to establish the Department of Health and to amend and repeal certain Acts, has, in obedience to the Order of Reference of Tuesday, April 30, 1996, examined the said Bill and now reports the same without amendment, but with the following recommendation:

That, once the duties and responsibilities of the former Department of Health and Welfare have been fully reassigned to the Department of Health and the Department of Human Resources Development, there be continuous and substantial interaction between the two Departments as a matter of basic principle, given the affinity of the matters under their respective jurisdictions.

Respectfully submitted,

MABEL M. DeWARE
