WINDSOR, Ont. — Health-care workers from across Canada could soon start practising in Ontario more quickly under legislation the provincial government plans to introduce next month.
"A doctor from British Columbia, or a nurse from Quebec who wants to come and work in Ontario shouldn't face barriers or bureaucratic delays to start providing care," Ford said at a news conference in Windsor, Ont. Ford said it would allow professionals such as doctors and nurses looking to move to Ontario to get to work as soon as they arrive. Officials did not immediately respond to a follow-up question inquiring if there was a timeline to require those health workers to ultimately register with Ontario regulatory colleges.
The government also said upcoming legislation will allow health professionals including nurses, paramedics and respiratory therapists to temporarily work outside of their regular responsibilities as long as they have the skills and knowledge necessary.
