Bill 36 will single-handedly deteriorate the quality of healthcare delivery in British Columbia. It will cause deleterious, catastrophic, and irreparable consequences to our system and patients.

Bill 36 promotes partisanship and the authority of our Government to unilaterally dictate how healthcare services are delivered to British Columbians. Political influence has no role in healthcare and that is exactly what Bill 36 entails. Failure to repeat this Act will have devastating consequences to healthcare in British Columbia. Bill 36 will allow the Ministry of Health to unilaterally dictate:

● Which health services may present a risk of harm to the public

● The regulation of the practice of a profession which is necessary to prevent, detect and respond to actual and potential harm to the public, and protect or promote the public interest ● How the risk of harm to the public from the practice of a health profession or occupation will be defined, identified and assessed
