2.

Mr. Ruprecht - Resolution - That, in the opinion of this House, in order to eliminate barriers faced by non-Ontario trained professionals to practice their professions in Ontario, the Government of Ontario should implement a plan that embraces the following principles:

· That individuals have the opportunity to seek licensure or certification in professions and trades for which they have been trained, in the context of provincial human resource planning, and without additional barriers not faced by Ontario-trained individuals;

· That full information on the licensing/certification standards and appeal processes of licensing and occupational bodies be available and accessible;

· That any competency assessment of licensure/certification requirements be based on criteria relevant to performing adequately in the profession or trade;

· That candidates be provided with written reasons for denial of an application or appeal for certification or licensure in a trade or profession;

· That individuals have access to training opportunities when upgrade training would allow Ontario competency standards to be reached, based on occupational demand and financial feasibility; and

· That all self-governing occupational licensing bodies provide internal appeal processes which are sensitive to such matters as timelines and access to information, whereby decisions of licensing bodies can be objectively reviewed by staff other than those conducting initial assessment. Filed on November 3, 1999.
