Repeal BC's Health Professions and Occupations Act (formerly Bill 36)

British Columbia ... Bill 36: The Health Profession and Occupations Act
British Columbia's new health bill makes important changes to how health professionals are regulated. It was pushed through, very quickly, by BC's NDP government.
Conservative MLA and Party Leader John Rustad, presented a petition to the BC Legislature in early May asking for the new law to be repealed or at least delayed until important changes are looked at and discussed. Many in the health field feel the bill gives the government too much control over their profession. For example, the 'colleges' that run the various health field .. (the college of physicians and surgeons, college of oral health professionals, and etc.. ) will no longer have board members elected by the people in the college; all board members will be appointed by the government. There are also concerns that the government will have too much control, over what health professionals can say and do when they are with their patients. Say 'the wrong thing' and you can be sanctioned. There are also parts of Bill 36 that seem to promote the use of possibly mandatory vaccinations for health professionals, AND that seem to tie BC in to the new World Health Organization Pandemic Treaty that is due to be completed and put into force in 2024.
In the end, Bill 36 will mean what the government wants it to mean. For those of us who know that our governments cannot at all be trusted, this is not good news.
