A committee can fill a casual vacancy.
To do this requires a motion on the SC meeting agenda. The act does not specify that nominations need be called, nor a vote taken of any nominees.
That leaves the committee to appoint anyone they see fit to fill the position.
But the motion needs to be on the agenda. and the secretary sets the agenda.
The act also does not compel a committee to fill a casual vacancy, so the position can be left vacant. The only problem this raises is that there may at some time not be enough people in attendance at a committee meeting to form a quorum.
