Your Feedback is Requested by April 17, 2023 - Proposed Changes to CASLPO Registration Regulation to create an Emergency Registration Class

The College welcomes your feedback on the proposed changes to the College's Registration Regulation to create an emergency class of registration. There will be a 60-day consultation process from February 14, 2023 and ending on April 17, 2023.

Your opinion matters. Link to Consultation.

Why Is CASLPO Adding Another Class of Registration?

In April 2022, the provincial Pandemic and Emergency Preparedness Act, 2022, came into force. This legislation is intended to strengthen Ontario’s health workforce and improve health human resources planning in emergency situations.

The legislation requires each Ontario health regulatory college to propose changes to their registration regulation for creation of an emergency class. Colleges must focus their proposed changes in four areas:

• the circumstances in which the emergency class of registration will be opened;
• emergency class registration requirements;
• duration of an emergency class certificate; and
• moving from the emergency class to another class of registration. 

How Do I Provide My Feedback?

For the next 60 days, the College’s proposed changes to the Registration Regulation are being circulated for comment by registrants and stakeholders. Prior to finalizing the proposed changes, the Board of Directors will consider all comments received, keeping in mind CASLPO’s mandate to serve and protect the public interest.

Please provide your feedback by April 17, 2023, via a short anonymous survey.

Consultation with CASLPO registrants, the public, universities, the Office of the Fairness Commissioner, hearing and speech organizations, and other regulatory colleges is an important part of the College’s regulation development process.
