What are the differences between the AUS and SSMU?

The Students' Society of McGill University represents all undergraduate students at McGill's downtown campus, and every undergraduate student is automatically a member of SSMU. The SSMU is larger and has a larger budget than the AUS. The AUS is not a part of SSMU, but both organizations partner in many initiatives that are beneficial to students. An important point to note is that as the largest faculty association, the AUS has a significant say in SSMU policy. It sends six representatives to sit on SSMU Council: the VP External, three Arts Representatives to SSMU and three Arts Senators.
