An Independent Appointments Commission has been established. This is a seven person, non-partisan commission appointed through a resolution of the House of Assembly. The Commission provides merit-based recommendations to approximately 30 Tier One entities.
The review is open to the public and will be comprehensive and identify improvements to enhance the overall efficiency, effectiveness and outcomes of the legislation, and the subsequent processes that support its administration.
The review will also look at ways to maximize the diversity of candidates identified as qualified and recommendable for appointment, including but not limited to Indigenous candidates, and ways to maximize regional representation from all parts of the province.
For further information about the review please see the following announcement and public advisory:
