Yeah cause 'deregulate Chinese medicine' sounded like a great idea, right from the start.


Ontario reverses course on plans to deregulate traditional Chinese medicine​

Ontario is reversing course on a plan to deregulate traditional Chinese medicine and acupuncture, saying it will instead require that the regulatory college for the profession offer licensing exams in Cantonese and Mandarin.

The government said Monday it would scrap the section of a recently introduced labour bill that aimed to wind down the profession's regulatory body.

Thats why I advice https://tempfind.com/professionals/registered-dental-hygienist/toronto/
The reversal by Ontario to require licensing exams in Cantonese and Mandarin is a step in the right direction. Traditional practices need oversight to ensure they meet modern medical standards. We can't compromise patient safety for the sake of tradition, especially when evidence-based medicine is the benchmark
