Professional and Scientific Council

In January 2013, Cabinet approved an updated version of the P&S Policies and Procedures that had changes that did not reflect what was approved by the P&S Council in October 2012. The link below is a version includes the footnotes that were removed in the Cabinet approved version as well as highlights the other changes that were made after the P&S Council approval. P&S Council and P&S Policies and Procedures Committee is currently working with members of Cabinet to formalize the approval process for P&S Policies and Procedures changes.
