PEO is continuing its efforts to have the Ontario environment ministry (MOE) explain its position on "qualified persons" under the Brownfields Statute Law Amendment Act (formerly Bill 56). The legislation, which defines the qualifications of diode permitted to certify records of site condition under the Environmental Protection Act for Brownfields site assessment and remediation work, excludes PEO s limited licence holders from the qualified persons list. The engineering regulator recently sent a letter to Joan Andrew, MOE assistant deputy minister, to express its ongoing opposition to the exclusion. PEO is convinced that the exclusion is based on die ministry's failure to understand die difference between a professional engineer licence (a licence to practise) and PEO's Certificate of Authorization, which is essentially an authorization for a business or commercial operation.
