The institute intends to make use of student writers in the university's Office of Research. Over the next few months, the institute will hire a full-time director. Pettit said the intention is also to develop relations with other universities and related facilities operating in this field across Canada. Pettit said the intention is to create a network to support the regulatory and inspection programmes. The institute will remain a University of Guelph entity, he said.
Any future staff are likely to come out of the campus environment.
