Executive Committee

The Executive Committee exercises the functions of the Council between Council meetings and acts as a governance, human resources, risk management and oversight committee. The Executive Committee is composed of the President, the elected Vice-President and at least six other members (including the chairs of the standing committees) selected by the Council.

The work of the Executive Committee is complemented on an ongoing basis by the Audit Committee, an independent advisory committee for the President, as per the Treasury Board Secretariat’s Policy on Internal Audit.
