MOTION: to create an Ad hoc committee to look into an objective assessment tool and report back at the 2018 PGDC meeting – Carried (20, 0, 0) Goal: To increase transparency and predictability for the QET deliberations while also striving to increase efficiencies. What is right/wrong with the current system? What parameters should the tool use for its assessment? Failsafe’s in place. Preserve Canada’s high quality standards and reputation.
