I imagine that the public information, in the case of these consultants, will end up on a site available to the public. If not, it should be. We see this for many other colleges. When regulating a profession, it's important to ensure that the consultants' licence is authentic and still valid. The goal is to address the questions and concerns of some Canadians.
Can Canadians check the list of people who are licensed and who can work as consultants? This could reassure them. A licence number is one thing, but the ability to check an official register, whether the register is from the government or from someone else, may be more reassuring for Canadians.
Is this part of the plan?
