Developing regulatory concepts

Early in May, the Transition Council approved 19 of 22 proposed concepts which cover topics such as the licensure of veterinarians and veterinary technicians, access to veterinary prescriptions, and the authorized activities model which is central to team-based care

The Veterinary Professionals Act grants the Transition Council the ability to propose regulations to support the new legislation. The Transition Council has reviewed input on the proposed regulatory concepts, gathered through the recent public consultation, and is now finalizing the regulatory concepts. Once approved, the concepts are forwarded to the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food, and Agribusiness, who will develop the regulatory language.
