Responsibilities and Organization
Board members are appointed by the Governor in Council to hold office during good behaviour for a term not exceeding five years. They may be reappointed once.
The Act requires that the Chairman must be a judge, either sitting or retired, of a superior, county or district court. The Chairman directs the work of the Board and apportions its caseload among the members.
The Act also designates the Vice-Chairman as Chief Executive Officer of the Board. He or she exercises direction over the Board and supervises its staff.
The organizational structure of the Board follows the requirements set out in section 66 and following sections of the Act (See Figure III.1).
Figure III.1 - Organizational Structure of the Board
The Board has 17 Full-Time Equivalents (5 Governor in Council appointees and 12 employees).
NOTE: To be consistent with the Government efforts to develop its priorities and leading to a new budget, departments have been directed to repeat 2007-2008 Main Estimate amounts in the 2008-2009 and 2009-2010 periods - this table reflects that direction.
