Regulatory concepts
The Veterinary Professionals Act grants the Transition Council the ability to propose regulations to support the new legislation. The Transition Council is reviewing regulatory concepts. Once approved, these concepts will be shared for public consultation, revised and then forwarded to the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food, and Agribusiness, who will develop the regulatory language.
Transition Council meetings are livestreamed and replays and minutes are posted on the website. Summaries are shared through the College newsletters.
Quick reference
A reference sheet is available to help you understand the steps for developing regulations and the current status of the various regulatory concepts.
