Summary
The ALUS PAC Terms of Reference as approved by Council in January 2013 identified a voting representative from Agriculture and Agrifood Canada. Unfortunately, management at Agriculture and Agrifood Canada have declined to provide representation on the ALUS PAC Committee. As a result, Administration along with the ALUS PAC identified representation from the Agricultural Reasearch and Extension Council of Alberta as a suitable alternative, and that agency has nominated Fiona Briody to serve as their representation on our PAC.
