The Medical Act (1950)
states: |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
“...There
shall continue to be a council of the College, hereinafter called
the Council, to be composed as follows: c) One member resident in
Ontario to be duly elected by the licensed practitioners in homeopathy." |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The last homeopathic
representative on the Council of the College was Dr. Charles Ernest
Bond, who served from 1956 until his death on April 1, 1960 (CPSO).
After his death, the Medical Act was amended and the Council discontinued
homeopathic representation "... in keeping with the changed population
patterns of today and other factors" ( Day, 1960). The Medical
Act (1970) states: |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"...Until a homeopathic
medical college for teaching purposes is established in Ontario, candidates
wishing to be registered as homeopathists shall possess the supervision
of a duly registered homeopathic practitioner." |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Medical Act was replaced
by the Health Disciplines Act, 1974, which was superseded by the Regulated
Health Professions Act, 1991 (RRPA). Presently there are twenty-three
self-regulating health professions in the province of Ontario. The
Homeopathic Medical Council of Canada is active in promoting homeopathy
and continuing efforts for the regulation of homeopathy in Canada. |
