It does need to go to the PWSS consultative committee. That is the forum for consultation. In terms of the advisory board and its considerations with the CEO, I imagine that would be between the advisory board and the CEO, but the consultative forum would be the appropriate place for the consultations to the board. Before the CEO determines a mandatory policy or procedure, it must consult the PWSS consultative committee about that policy or procedure, and I would imagine the PWSS advisory board would have to consider that as part of its consideration.
