makers in the process may determine that guidance or remedial measures be provided to the registrant, rather than formally imposing disciplinary action. A thorough process is carried out for these decisions to be reached. Some registrants may get directed to a practice review following consideration of the complaint matter. In the fiscal year 2023, 15 files resulted in disciplinary action against registrants. Discipline outcomes vary, and may include a suspension or a fine, practice restrictions, a peer review, a period of direct supervision, remedial education requirements, payment of legal fees to Engineers and Geoscientists BC, or potentially the cancellation of registration. In the same time period, eight registrants had their licences revoked.
