The consultation on the regulatory concepts, proposed by the Transition Council, is now closed.

The proposed regulatory concepts are intended to reflect evolving practice by empowering team-based veterinary care and improving accountability while ensuring quality to protect the public. The Transition Council is currently making decisions on the proposed regulatory concepts to support the new legislation. The concepts are being forwarded to the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Agribusiness, who will prepare the regulations. Concepts cover the following key topics:

• licensure
• authorized activities
• regulatory exemptions for non-members
• quality team-based care
• administration

Thank you to all who participated in the consultation.

The College is pleased to assist you with your questions on the proposed regulatory concepts. Please reach out to the Practice Advisory Service for assistance.
