Chapter 16 - Committees
President and
Deputy President on committees
The President is
excluded from membership of committees other than those of which the President
is an ex officio member (SO 27(3)). Thus, a
senator upon election as President ceases to be a member of any committees
other than those of which the President is an ex officio member. There is no
such restriction on the Deputy President. If the Deputy President is elected to
serve on any committee but declines to do so, another senator shall be elected
(SO 27(4)). The Deputy President
chairs the Committee of Chairs established under standing order 25(10).
