Tuesday, 24 May 2016 19:59
As part of its public protection mandate, the CMLTO is strongly committed to enhancing transparency which means ensuring that its regulatory processes and information about members can be accessed easily the public, by applicants, and medical laboratory technologists (MLTs).
In May 2015, Council moved to support the proposed approach for the next steps in the CMLTO’s Transparency Initiative, which included proceeding with the transparency of member information in two phases.
In Fall 2015, Phase 1 proposed amendments to the CMLTO Consolidated Bylaws were circulated to members and stakeholders for comment. Those amendments related to the information that members are required to provide to the CMLTO and expanding the information that the CMLTO posts on the Public Register. The Council approved the Phase 1 amendments at its February 2016 meeting, after considering the input received from members and stakeholders.
At its May 2016 meeting, Council proposed amendments to section 30 (The Register) of the CMLTO Consolidated Bylaws be circulated to members and stakeholders for their input and feedback in accordance with section 94 of the Health Professions Procedural Code being Schedule 2 to the Regulated Health Professions Act.
CMLTO requests comments regarding the above proposed Bylaw amendments from CMLTO members, medical laboratory sector stakeholders and employers, and the public.
