Composed of eight permanent members, the CESP plays an advisory role with public health authorities and professionals who call on it in connection with public health projects, programs or actions. It reports to the INSPQ Board of Directors, which appoints the members and determines the operating procedures. However, the CESP is solely responsible for the opinions it produces and the ethical review process it uses.
