BC-M236: Bill M 236: Health Professions and Occupations Repeal Act

This bill would directly affect every regulated health professional and health-related business operating in British Columbia — including doctors, nurses, dentists, pharmacists, physiotherapists, chiropractors, midwives, naturopaths, optometrists, psychologists, and many other practitioners. Whether you're a solo practitioner running your own clinic or a larger multi-disciplinary health practice with employees, the repeal of the governing regulatory framework would create significant uncertainty around professional licensing, scope of practice, complaints and discipline processes, and continuing education requirements. Health clinics, wellness centres, and allied health businesses across BC that rely on the current regulatory structure to define who can practise and under what conditions would need to navigate a major regulatory vacuum. Ancillary businesses such as health staffing agencies and insurance providers that depend on professional designation standards would also be impacted.
