The Consultant shall review the structure of the Statutory Offices of the House of Assembly, with the exception of the Office of the Auditor General, and prepare a report that includes recommendations for the following:

• The minimum required competencies for each statutory officer;
• The number of statutory offices and whether a statutory officer could fulfil the obligations of more than one statutory role; which offices/statutory officers could be combined based on common objectives, functions, qualifications, clients, etc.;
• Whether each Statutory Office requires the dedication of a full-time statutory officer or whether it could be part-time or on an as-needed basis;
• How each statutory officer should be recruited, appointed, re-appointed, compensated, disciplined, and removed from office;
• How to manage conflicts which arise between Statutory Offices, who should investigate alleged misconduct of a statutory officer, and how that investigation should be conducted (internally, externally, independent ADR etc.).
• Whether and how quality assurance and performance of each statutory officer/Statutory Office should be measured and overseen;
• What is an appropriate administrative oversight model for the Statutory Offices, inclusive of financial management, human resources management, information management, procurement, and any other “back office” functions; structure;
• Whether physical space and administrative functions could be shared among Statutory Offices; and
• Where reports from each Statutory Office should be directed, such as whether any of the reports of the Statutory Offices should go to a standing or select committee of the House of Assembly for review and analysis.

The Consultant may seek input from current and former statutory officers, the Clerk of the House of Assembly, the Clerk of the Executive Council, the Management Commission of the House of Assembly and any others that may be necessary to inform the Terms of Reference.
