This covers the activities relating to and including support to establish guidelines governing selection processes for Governor-in-Council appointments to agencies, boards, commissions and Crown corporations; approve the selection processes proposed by ministers to fill vacancies within agencies, boards, commissions and Crown corporations for which they are responsible; monitor, review and evaluate selection processes in order to ensure that they are implemented as approved; and submit an annual report, including recommendations to the Prime Minister on the Government’s performance in following the guidelines, to be tabled before each House of Parliament.
