Who decides which standards committee members are voting or non-voting?
The CGSB grants voting status to those members requesting it, provided that this measure preserves balanced representation from producer, user, general interest and regulatory groups while ensuring regional representation. It is CGSB policy that whenever possible organizations rather than individuals hold voting memberships in its standards committees. The CGSB strives to ensure that the voting membership of its standards committees represents Canadian national interests on trade, health and safety, and the environment.
