The Professional Governance Act (PGA) gives authority to all regulators under the Act – including the College – to regulate firms, however at this point only Engineers and Geoscientists BC (EGBC) is moving forward starting on July 1, 2021. The other regulators are three to five years away from developing a similar program. Before the CAB moves forward with any firm regulation program we will engage with registrants and the public.

]]>The post 3.1 Will there be a requirement to identify a Responsible Registrant for each discipline area as is the approach used by Engineers and Geoscientists BC?
3.2 For an engineering firm with an environmental services group, do we (as a firm) need to apply for a permit to practice number? (again as per EGBC), will we have a separate number or use the EGBC number?
3.3 What is the timing for firm registration, if required?
3.4 When is the Regulated Firm aspect of the PGA expected to be rolled out?? first appeared on College of Applied Biologists.
At this time the College’s primary objective is the successful implementation of the Professional Governance Act, and most importantly reserved practice. We estimate it being at least five (5) years before starting to develop what firm regulation may look like for the College. This work will be done in collaboration with regulatory partners and firms.
