Summary of Feedback Received During Consultation

Between December 2018 and January 7, 2019, the College circulated a survey to stakeholders on proposed amendments to By-Law No.8 – The Register and Registrant Information for comment. There were 975 responses to the survey, 956 of these were from registrants. 88% were in favour of the proposed amendments. Comments on the proposed amendments were made by 18 respondents. Some of these comments related to the collection of information on offences and also information on licensed professions. In reviewing these comments, it was noted that some registrants did not have a clear understanding of what would be placed on the public register or understand the rationale behind the proposed amendments. For example, some registrants were concerned that information respecting licensed trades would be on the public register. The rationale for collecting this information is to ensure that there is nothing in an applicant/registrant’s past conduct that may affect their suitability to practise as a Massage Therapist. Another concern raised was the need for advising the College of any offences. The requirement for a registrant to report offences is outlined in the Regulated Health Professions Act, 1991. This is not a requirement imposed by CMTO but by the legislation and applies to all regulated health colleges in Ontario. Unless a concern is identified, i.e. a pattern of behaviour that raised concerns that may impact MT practice, no action would be taken. The proposed amendments were approved by Council for implementation on April 1, 2019.
