Québec: delay of regulation for microbiologists
Date postedNovember 26, 2024
The Association des microbiologistes du Québec (AMQ) warns of public health risks following the suspension of their request for professional regulation. Without formal oversight, they argue that critical fields such as healthcare, food safety, and pharmaceuticals lack adequate safeguards. Despite widespread public and political support, the AMQ was excluded from consultations on Bill 67, aimed at modernizing professional standards. The AMQ continues to push for reforms to establish regulatory frameworks ensuring high professional standards for microbiologists to better protect public health.
