- recommended training to Council members, Council Committees and Senior Staff with an emphasis on good governance practices; and
- the governance and legislative framework, policies and processes.
The Panel will meet on such dates and times as it determines provided that at least four (4) meetings are held per calendar year, and may hold additional meetings as determined by the chairperson in order for the Panel to fulfil its duties and responsibilities.
