Who composes the Building Materials Evaluation Commission?

The Building Materials Evaluation Commission is composed of members appointed by the Lieutenant Governor in Council. This structure is significant because it ensures that the commission is made up of individuals who are accountable to the provincial government and can provide an authoritative and knowledgeable basis for evaluating building materials used in the construction industry.

By having members appointed by the Lieutenant Governor in Council, the process is embedded within the governmental framework, allowing for the inclusion of diverse expertise and perspectives from various sectors, thus enhancing the credibility and effectiveness of the commission’s evaluations. The responsibilities of the commission include making recommendations on the suitability and safety of building materials for use in construction, which is integral for maintaining building standards and public safety.

This appointment process distinguishes it from options involving the Governor General, a single minister, or industry representatives, which would not provide the same level of oversight and accountability as having members appointed through the Lieutenant Governor in Council.
