Additional Considerations
It is possible that some criminal findings and/or bail
conditions could include information that is subject to
a publication ban. Given that the public register-related
provisions, if adopted, would have the effect of designating the above-mentioned offences and certain bail
conditions as public, we are proposing an amendment
to Section 50.1(1) of the General By-Law to permit us
to exclude from the public register any information that
would violate a publication ban (underlined).
Proposed By-Law Amendment

than a member’s,

(a) referred address for communications from the
College,
(b) e-mail address,
(c) date of birth, and
(d) place of birth; and
(e) any information that, if made public, would violate a publication ban, if known to the College.
is designated as public except that, …
Together, the proposed by-law amendments and
proposed new by-laws are being circulated for external
consultation.
We are inviting feedback from all stakeholders, including members of the medical profession, the public,
health-system organizations and other health professionals on the draft by-laws.
We want to hear your thoughts!

Proposed Amendments: Fees and
Remuneration By-Law
The College is seeking feedback on two sets of draft
amendments to the Fees and Remuneration By-Law
that, if passed, would:
a
• dd a fee for any member who applies to modify or
remove the terms, conditions or limitations of his or
her restricted certificate of registration imposed by
the Registration Committee, and
• rovide greater clarity to the College’s annual applip
cation for renewal process for postgraduate members.
Fee for Applications to Modify or Remove
the Terms, Conditions or Limitations Imposed on a Certificate of Registration
Section 1 of the College’s current Fees and Remuneration By-Law indicates that the College can charge for
application fees. However, the College does not currently charge application fees for circumstances where a
member has requested a modification to terms, conditions, or limitations imposed on a member’s certificate
by the College’s Registration Committee.
The Registration Committee has reviewed an increasing number of applications from members wishing to
modify a term, condition or limitation imposed on the
member’s certificate of registration as a result of a registration proceeding. In 2013, the Committee reviewed
more than 450 applications from physicians for amendments to their certificates of registration.
A review of the College’s registration resources has
identified that:
• e College’s registration function costs well exceed its
Th
revenue from registration fees.
• pplications to modify terms, conditions or limitations
A
previously imposed by the Registration Committee
consume resources. Some applicants make more than
one such application. Other such applications are complex applications and consume significant Committee
resources. This cost is not reflected in the current model
