A “Revenue Commission” could be tasked to follow up the work of the Spending and Government Efficiency (SAGE) Commission, a packed Hamilton auditorium heard last night.The final opportunity to hear the SAGE committee’s summary — and ask questions — brought about 200 people into the Mount St Agnes Hall.It was the biggest turnout of the three public meetings as the Commission nears its end.However, many in the crowd sought details that the Commission can’t officially release until Finance Minister Bob Richards tables its report in November’s House of Assembly.The group’s recommendations are aimed at reversing the Island’s perilous financial standing.“We’re trying not to depress you too much here,” Commission chairman Brian Duperreault told listeners. “But you’ve got to know the truth.”Asked if the group had suggestions for banks to reduce the cost of living in mortgages and rents, Pensions Committee chair Kim White said the Commission had suggested Government form another “SAGE-like committee” to deal exclusively with matters pertaining to revenue for the Island.Mr Duperreault ventured an opinion on Government’s deal with unions to cut civil servants’ pay by 4.6 percent over two years.The arrangement, whereby public sector workers take one unpaid day off each month, had the consequence that “the work needs to be done — somebody else has to do it.“But I wasn’t negotiating and I wasn’t at the table,” he said.Stressing that was just his opinion, the chairman said: “I’m going to get all kinds of hell for that comment.”However, he added: “I’m really glad they started — we had to start some place at some time.”A suggestion to cut down on the number of Government Ministers — which currently stands at 13 — drew a popular response from the audience.Mr White asked the crowd if nine sounded like a reasonable recommendation, with many shouting “yes”.“Lower?” he added, getting a louder chorus of responses.In accordance with the Act under which it was constituted, the Commission is expected to dissolve around the middle of next month.
