[[page 1]] BRITISH COLUMBIA January 17, 2020 Ref: 250959 Peter Luckham, Chair Islands Trust Council 200-1627 Fort St Victoria BC V8R 1H8 Dear Peter Luckham: Thank you for your letter requesting a legislative amendment to the Auditor General for Local Government Act, to add the Islands Trust to the Auditor General for Local Government (AGLG)’s mandate. | apologize for the delay in responding. It is my understanding that Islands Trust and Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing staff have been discussing the Islands Trust’s request to be included in the AGLG’s scope of work. | encourage the Islands Trust to continue to liaise with ministry staff on this work. As you may be aware, the office of the AGLG conducts performance audits of the operations of local governments; these are known as ‘value for money’ audits and focus on themes such as human resources; emergency management; and capital project management. As such, they vary significantly from traditional financial audits, which as | understand, may be what you are seeking. Ministry staff will continue to work to clarify how to support the Islands Trust in this request, and to facilitate a discussion with the AGLG if desired. The office of the AGLG also publishes “Perspectives” booklets on best practice recommendations that may be helpful or relevant to the Islands Trust. These booklets are available on the AGLG’s website at: http://www.aglg.ca/. Thank you again for writing. Sincerely, Selina Robinson Minister Ministry of Municipal Affairs Office of the Minister a Mailing Address: Location: and Housing PO Box 9056 Stn Prov Govt Room 310 Victoria BC V8W 9E2 Parliament Buildings Phone: 250 387-2283 Victoria BC V8V 1X4 Fax: 250 387-4312 http://www.gov.bc.ca/mah
