No, I am speaking to section 8. It states the chief executive officer shall cease to be qualified for office and shall cease to hold office if he or she is convicted of any indictable offence. Could very minor offences such as speeding offences be included in that regard? Such offences could be committed, but they may not mean that a person should be fired. I am looking for clarification on what is an indictable offence. Is it a serious offence or could it refer to something unrelated to the role of being a good chief executive officer?
