ONTARIO
The amendments include provisions that update and clarify various
sections of the regulation, including advertising, medical records, and the
VCPR, to reflect more modern requirements, practices, and terminology.
Many of the changes are simply moving concepts from existing College
policy documents into regulation, and would be familiar to practising
veterinarians.
The enclosed chart is intended to highlight some of the more significant
changes that have been made to the regulation. To be helpful, it displays
the previous and the amended versions of the changes. The chart may
be a useful reference document to provide clarity and assistance for
veterinarians as they work to ensure that their practices are compliant
with the amendments.
Veterinarians should also review the entire new regulation with all of
the amendments, which may be viewed on the Government of Ontario’s
e-laws website.
