Committee & Panel Composition and Quorum
Status: The Transition Council has approved the proposed regulatory concepts for consultation. The consultation is now open - share your thoughts today!
Overview
The Veterinary Professionals Act is less prescriptive than the Veterinarians Act on the composition and quorum for statutory committees and associated panels. Statutory committees and panels contribute to College programs and support the mandate. Ensuring the right number of individuals with the necessary backgrounds and skillsets is essential. The College has received legal advice recommending that minimum requirements for committee and panel composition be included in the regulations. Other details, such as maximums, ratios and vacancies, will be outlined in the by-laws.
The draft concept receiving general consensus by the Transition Council outlines membership and quorum requirements, ensuring veterinarian, veterinary technician and public voices. The draft concept also embraces diverse voices.
