The BC Government quickly passed Bill 36 in November 2022. This Bill introduces many changes to our healthcare services, including the collapse of BC Health Professions & Colleges into 6 government-controlled bodies. We are responding by using the power of Medical and Allied Health Care Professionals, and their patients, to speak up and create the change that is needed. Please join us!
Why is the HPOA (Bill 36) Concerning for you?
Bill 36 is now the Health Professions and Occupations Act (HPOA) enabling BC government, and it’s agents, to:
- Conduct warrantless search and seizure of property of health offices
- Dictate healthcare services with unprecedented power
- Demand access to your private clinical records
- Mandate vaccination with no informed consent
- Issue fines up to $200,000 and/or imprisonment up to 6 months for ‘misleading information’ not in agreement with government
- Forced mental health assessments
What does this mean for you?
Staff Shortages
Health providers leaving BC
Less Privacy
Government can seize your health records
Government Control
Of your health care choices and your provider’s services
