Specifically, the changes will give the governing body the power and ability to seek an injunction that can prohibit someone from practising medicine without a license.

“Increasing the maximum fines means tougher consequences for individuals and corporations practicing unlawfully under the Act,” the province’s release said.

Those fines, under the new amendments, would see the maximum increased to $25,000 for a first offence and $50,000 for any further offences. For corporations, the maximum fine would increase to $50,000 for a first offence and double to $100,000 for any further offences.

The amendments are expected to pass in the Legislative Assembly this spring, according to the provincial release.
