20. Continuing eligibility as a Board member

All requirements regarding initial appointment must be met throughout the three-year tenure of office. Failure to maintain public trust, a breach of privacy or continued absence which affects the efficient administration of the Board Centre could lead to termination of the appointment.

Members' or chairpersons' appointments will be jeopardized if they are charged with a criminal offence while in office, including an offence under the EI Act. After a verdict is reached, the members will continue on the Board if they are vindicated but will be terminated if they are found to have committed the offence.
