It is anticipated that two or three weeks in October 1991 would be set aside for this process and that Ministers, CEO's and senior departmental budget officers will be required to attend. As you would no doubt be aware similar procedures are already in place in the Federal Parliament.
Further details as to how the process will operate will be provided shortly. In the meantime, it would be appreciated if you could bring this matter to the attention of all CEO's within your portfolio.
