Exhibit 34.8—Shared Accommodation Leadership

Public Works' "Shared Accommodation Leadership" (SAL) is the latest initiative designed to improve accountability for office accommodation. SAL sets out the responsibilities as follows:

Public Works and Government Services:

  • has the mandate and is accountable for allocating all office space to its tenant departments;
  • is accountable for effectively acquiring and managing office space; and
  • will develop, maintain and apply benchmarks and performance indicators on the use of accommodation.
Tenant departments:
  • are accountable for planning and using office space effectively and efficiently.
Public Works and tenants:
  • will share accountability through a Master Occupancy Agreement that outlines space standards for their requirements, a framework for accountability, performance indicators and reporting requirements.
