Authority to Delegate

Recommendation:

It is recommended that The Engineering and Geoscience Professions Act be amended to expressly authorize APEGA's Council, the Registrar, statutory bodies (Board of Examiners, Practice Review Board, Appeal Board, Discipline Committee and Investigative Committee) and CEO to delegate their authority and duties, as appropriate.

APEGA's existing legislation does not expressly give APEGA's Council, the Registrar, statutory bodies and CEO (entities) the authority to delegate to others.

APEGA's legislation should be revised to give these entities the express authority to delegate. This would bring clarity to APEGA's legislation, authorize the appropriate entities that execute Association business, and align the legislation with that of other professional associations in Alberta and other jurisdictions in Canada.

(The specific express authority and duties for entities will be detailed in subsequent papers released in fall 2015 and 2016.)
