Perhaps the most notable accomplishment for the
Governance Committee was its commitment to
championing several changes that were required
for CPSO to be compliant with the requirements set
out in the Ministry of Health ’ s College Performance
Measurement Framework . These include but are not
limited to :
|
red-tape reduction , which would be achieved through amendments to the Regulated Health Professions Act ( RHPA ) and Medicine Act .
These changes , if brought forward by government , would allow CPSO to achieve its vision of modernization , efficiency , and excellence .
