To the extent that a province would delegate this function to a nurse practitioner, it would only be within the scopes of practice that are available to nurse practitioners. In other words, it's not that all nurse practitioners and all nurses get to do this by virtue of the federal legislation; it is only where a province has chosen to delegate physician-like powers to nurse practitioners. That's a specific provincial decision. Provinces do that in some circumstances.
