Legislative Review
The College of Paramedics of Nova Scotia is seeking government approval for revisions to the Paramedics Act and will be consulting stakeholders on the proposed amendments.
A Legislation Review Committee has met regularly over the course of more than a year to review the Act and its Regulations and to prepare recommendations to the Council of the College for revisions. Council met in October 2019 to approve the recommendations from the Committee and to authorize the advancement of the proposed revisions to government.
The College of Paramedics of Nova Scotia (the College) submitted a proposal in May 2020 for changes to the Paramedics Act to the Nova Scotia Department of Health and Wellness (NSDHW). Following that, and with the consent of the Department, the College engaged in a rigorous consultation process with numerous stakeholders,
