Access to Information
Comments submitted will be considered by the Health Professional Regulatory Advisory Council (Advisory Council) and will help it to determine appropriate recommendations to make to the Minister. To ensure transparency and encourage open dialogue, the feedback received by the Advisory Council may be posted on our website in accordance with our Privacy Statement.
Please note that unless requested and otherwise agreed to by the Advisory Council, any information or comments received from organizations will be considered public information and may be used and disclosed by the Advisory Council. The Advisory Council may disclose materials or comments, or summaries of them, to other interested parties (during and after the consultation period). An individual who makes a submission and who indicates an affiliation with an organization in his or her submission will be considered to have made his or her submission on behalf of the affiliated organization.
The Advisory Council will not disclose any personal information contained in a submission of an individual who does not specify an organizational affiliation in his or her submission without the individual's consent unless required to do so by law. However, the Advisory Council may use and disclose the content of the individual's submission to assist it in fulfilling its statutory mandate.
The Advisory Council reserves the right to refuse to post a submission, in whole or in part, that, in its sole discretion: is unrelated to the issue under consultation, or, is abusive, obscene, harassing, threatening or includes defamatory comments.
