Section IV: Other Items of Interest

Shared Corporate Services and Systems

Since its inception in April 1997, the Law Commission of Canada had a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Canadian Human Rights Commission (CHRC), to receive corporate services in the areas of Human Resources Management, Financial Management, Assets Management and Information Technology.

As part of the MOU agreement, functional expertise, guidance and advice were provided by the CHRC to support the Commission's staff and operations on an ongoing basis. The agreement provides a cost-effective approach for functional services and shared systems between the Commission and the CHRC, and allows the Commission to focus more resources towards research and citizen engagement activities.

Accountability for Results

The Law Commission conducted an exercise with Commissioners to define the concept of risk and discuss various risk issues. The Commission completed a review of its contracting procedures in 2004-05, and a risk-based internal audit and evaluation plan was developed during 2005-06.
