New health professional rules aim for shared scopes of practice
A Monday report proposes sweeping changes to health professional regulation led by Health Minister Corky Evans. It recommends eliminating exclusive scopes of practice and adopting shared scopes to boost interdisciplinary cooperation. The plan would grant non doctors access to laboratories, allow physical therapists limited acupuncture, and let optometrists prescribe certain eye therapies.

Aboriginal children to return home under new plan
Ed John announced steps to allow aboriginal children to return to their home communities, aiming to reduce foster care numbers. The strategy includes transferring protection duties to First Nations agencies, boosting early education, and preserving cultural ties while addressing concerns over cultural identity and the high share of aboriginal children in care. Public water protections in British Columbia also prompted calls for strong new laws, with public input emphasizing a single lead authority and watershed protection ahead of an anticipated act before the next election.
