12. The Rev Stephen Semechuk asked -
During the last 6 years, how many elected Standing Committee positions were filled through contested elections and how many through uncontested elections?
To which the President replied -
I take it that the reference to "elected Standing Committee positions" is not intended to include the filling of casual vacancies by the Standing Committee. On that basis I am informed that the answer is as follows-
Synod Session
1998
