Reserved Activities

Reserved activities are those that may only be practised by members of professional orders authorized to do so. This law protects members of the public who seek professional services that pose a high risk of harm. For example, prescribing medication is an activity reserved for physicians, who must be members of their professional order, the Collège des médecins, which oversees their practice.

Similarly, Bill 21 reserves activities with a risk of harm in the field of mental health and human relations. For more detailed information, consult the complete table of reserved activities.
