Creation of Liberal Caucus Task Forces
June 19, 1996
Ottawa, Ontario
Prime Minister Jean Chrétien today announced the appointment
of four special Liberal Caucus Task Forces.
The Task Forces will review four subjects: commercializing government
science research, the impacts of new information technology on
citizens and government, policy for an aging population, and aquaculture.
The Task Forces will be asked to submit written reports to the
Prime Minister after consultations in all regions of Canada.
"These issues are important to our government," said
the Prime Minister. "I have asked MPs to thoroughly review
the policy options and make recommendations to me before the end
of the year."
A list of Task Force members is attached.
