The Legislation Advisory Committee was
established in 1986 to improve the technical quality of law
making. Its primary roles are to advise government agencies
on the drafting of legislation and build public sector
awareness of legislative guidelines.
"Many of the
Legislation Advisory Committee nine members have commitments
precluding them from attending all committee meetings,"
Margaret Wilson said. "These new appointments will allow for
a higher level of representation when some members cannot
attend meetings and enhance the committee's breadth of
experience."
