Multi-parent subsidiaries part-owned by school board
(1)
This section applies to a multi-parent subsidiary if any of its parent Crown
entities is a school board.
(2)
The Minister of Finance may, by notice in writing, exempt the multi-parent
subsidiary from the requirement to prepare a statement or report (as defined in
section 156A(4)) if the Minister is satisfied that—
(3)
(a)
it would be unduly onerous for the multi-parent subsidiary to comply
with the requirement; and
(b)
the exemption is consistent with maintaining reasonable public account‐
ability of the multi-parent subsidiary.
A notice must specify—
(a)
which statements or reports are not required; and
(b)
the financial years or other period (which may be until further notice) for
which each statement or report is not required.
(4)
The exemption may be granted subject to any terms or conditions the Minister
thinks fit (which may include a condition that a parent Crown entity must,
in its equivalent statement or report, include certain information about the
multi-parent subsidiary).
(5)
As soon as practicable after granting an exemption, the Minister must—
(a)
notify the exemption, and its terms and conditions, in the Gazette; and
(b)
present to the House of Representatives a statement of the exemption
and its terms and conditions.
