Moving toward the College of Veterinary Professionals of Ontario
While the Veterinary Professionals Act has been approved, there is work to be done to propose regulations and draft by-laws to support the new legislation and the College of Veterinary Professionals of Ontario. Your engagement is essential as we move through the next steps. Please contact the College with your questions.
Proposed Regulatory Concepts
The Veterinary Professionals Act grants the Transition Council the ability to propose regulations to support the new legislation. The Transition Council proposed regulatory concepts which were circulated for public consultation. That consultation is now closed. The Transition Council appreciates your input on the concepts before they are finalized and forwarded to the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food, and Agribusiness, who will develop the regulatory language.
