Following the recent institutional review of the Bylaws, as well as completion of the 2020–2021 CPD compliance reporting cycle, the PCMB undertook a review of the QS and related procedures to address the required changes related to the new Bylaws, which will come into effect in January 2023, and to determine if any additional improvements or clarifications were needed based on the experience of members and the PCMB during the recent reporting process. Several changes to the QS were proposed, which would take effect in January 2023 for the 2021-2022 reporting cycle. These were circulated to members and stakeholders for consultation this past summer.
The PCMB only received a few comments, many of which were supportive of the proposed changes (see consultation feedback section below). Consequently, no further changes were made to the QS and it was approved by the PCMB on September 14, 2022 with an effective date of January 1, 2023. The final revised QS (with changes red-lined) is being recirculated with this memorandum.
