Equine Canada, Canada’s national governing body for equestrianism, has issued its response to the FEI’s opening consultations on statutory changes to restructure the international federation.
Canada’s submission replies to the five questions posed by the FEI on potential changes to the FEI statutes. However, the submission goes further, offering proposals to reform the FEI’s organizational practices, and to ensure that the restructuring process itself is — and is seen to be — democratic, inclusive and above procedural reproach.
“Canada emphatically supports renewal of the FEI’s governance architecture, to create a more democratic, more agile, and more transparent decision making system, one that reflects the geographic universality of the international federation’s mandate while drawing on talent without regard to national origin,” said Akaash Maharaj, Equine Canada’s Chief Executive Officer.
