Who has the authority to designate the chair and vice-chair of the Building Code Commission?

The authority to designate the chair and vice-chair of the Building Code Commission rests with the Lieutenant Governor in Council. This governance structure is designed to ensure that such appointments take place at a high level of government, reflecting the importance and oversight needed in matters related to building codes, regulations, and safety.

The involvement of the Lieutenant Governor in Council underscores the significance of these roles within the context of provincial governance and regulatory enforcement. This decision-making power ensures that the individuals appointed to these key positions possess the necessary qualifications and can operate with impartiality and authority when overseeing building code matters.

In this context, other entities such as the Minister of Municipal Affairs, the Chief Building Official, or the Public Service Commission do not have the mandate to appoint the chair and vice-chair. Their roles may involve other aspects of municipal governance or building safety but not the direct appointment to such strategic positions within the Building Code Commission.
