Gary,
Which provincial college did you cut that quote from? From what I've read on the ontario college's website, it seems that they do pursue unlicenced individuals and their employers in cases of unauthorized practice.
For example:Perhaps the fines could stand to be more punitive? When the fines are low enough they could simply be seen as the cost of doing business.On December 13, 2004, Mr. Vladimir Augustinovich and Mr. Leonid Rozenblat plead guilty to performing the controlled act of dispensing without being a registered member of the College of Opticians of Ontario. In accordance with a joint submission, the court sentenced a fine totaling $700 and one year probation. Eurostyle Optical pled guilty to charges of being the employer of the above two named individuals, who performed the controlled act of dispensing without being a registered member of the College of Opticians of Ontario. In accordance with a joint submission, the court sentenced Eurostyle Optical a fine totaling $1800.
On May 20, 2004, Cristall Opticians pled guilty to charges of being the employer of Anna Bravo and Luisa DiSalvo, who performed the controlled act of dispensing without being a registered member of the College of Opticians of Ontario, on May 20, 2004. In accordance with a joint submission, the court sentenced Cristall Opticians to one year probation and a fine of $17,000.00.
etc.
