Issue 13 - Tenth Report of the Committee

TUESDAY, November 5, 1996

The Standing Senate Committee on Banking, Trade and Commerce has the honour to present its

TENTH REPORT

Your committee, which was authorized by the Senate on Thursday, March 21, 1996, to examine and report upon the present state of the financial system in Canada, and for which a budget was approved by the Standing Committee on Internal Economy, Budgets and Administration on Thursday, May 30th, 1996 respectfully requests that it be empowered to adjourn from place to place outside Canada for the purpose of pursuing its study of the question of professional liability and in particular to meet with British government officials; Professor Andrew Burrows, the author of a feasibility investigation of joint and several liability; and underwriters and brokers from the international insurance markets.

This request does not entail any new funding as all the expenses can be met through the existing and already approved budget.

Respectfully submitted,

MICHAEL KIRBY

Chairman
