Premier Doug Ford will introduce changes that would let Canadian healthcare workers registered or licensed in other provinces start immediately practicing in Ont. Currently, healthcare professionals must be registered with one of Ont.’s health regulatory colleges before working in the province. The legislative changes will be introduced in Feb. The announcement comes just days after Ford announced the province’s plan to invest in private clinics to perform more procedures. The CMA welcomes Ford’s approach and calls it a “promising step to improve access to care.” It's urging other provincial and territorial governments to adopt similar strategies.
