CMLTO releases the 2023 CPMF report!
02 April 2024
Ontario health regulatory Colleges exist to protect the public interest. To help the public understand how well Colleges are doing their job and to help continually improve accountability, transparency and oversight, all Colleges report on their work using the CPMF Reporting Tool.
The CPMF strengthens the accountability and oversight of Ontario's health regulatory Colleges, and helps Colleges improve performance of their statutory and organizational functions.
