Health care professionals must currently be registered with one of ontario’s health regulatory colleges to start working in the province. But Ontario is willing to relax these rules to eliminate a variety of bureaucratic delays. The Ford government said changes to the law will be made in February.

Making the announcement in Windsor, Ontario on Thursday, Ford said that for nurses, doctors and health care workers working in any province and territory across Canada, he wants to say that if they are thinking about making Ontario their new home, there is now a golden opportunity to do so.

Meanwhile, in a news release released on Thursday evening, the Canadian Medical Association welcomed Ford’s approach and said it was the best step towards improving health care.
