The following statement was issued today by Paul Dicks, Minister of Finance, on behalf of Chris Decker, Minister of Justice. It was also read in the House of Assembly:

Conduct certificates provided free of charge to volunteers of non-profit organizations

I rise today, on behalf of the Minister of Justice, to advise my colleagues in the House of Assembly and the public of the province that the government, in recognition of the considerable contribution provided by the many volunteers and volunteer organizations with the province, will be providing, free of charge, Conduct Certificates from both police forces and provincial court to individuals requiring these certificates as volunteers to non-profit and volunteer organizations. These organizations include for example, Big Brothers - Big Sisters, Community Services Organizations, and the many volunteer sports groups throughout the province.
