Perhaps I could provide an answer.
I think there are only two options really. I can sense a huge dissatisfaction about ICCRC and its ineffectiveness in terms of properly policing the consultant profession.
The first option is to change the model and to use a model that is not self-regulating. I think the second option would be to leave the model, but to include in the regulations, enforcement powers that CIC or CBSA could engage in independently of the ICCRC. What I'm suggesting is that you could put into the regulations the power to audit, the power to discipline, the power to suspend, and allow CIC to do that in circumstances where ICCRC does not.
That's the simpler solution than changing the model completely and going to some other form of regulatory model that alleviates some of the concerns. Allowing bills to be taxed through the regular legal process that's available to lawyers is something that needs to be considered, because as you've said, there is a huge abuse in that area.
