Again, this is a change that we've made in consultation with each other. Before a CEO determines a mandatory policy or procedure, the CEO must consult with the PWSS Consultative Committee and must have referred the mandatory policy to the PWSS Advisory Board. The PWSS Advisory Board must have been taken to have approved the mandatory policy or procedure or the advisory board must have notified the CEO that it has approved the proposed mandatory policy or procedure. The PWSS must also publish a policy or procedure determined under this section on its website. That gives the board the ability to tick it off and then return it to the CEO.
