What is the status of existing R.P.F.s and what will be the qualifications for membership under the new legislation?
Those who were R.P.F.s prior to Bill 110 will continue to be R.P.F.s when Bill 110 is implemented. Bill 110 does not impose any membership criteria beyond giving the Association to pass by-laws relative to the setting of membership criteria. There are no plans to increase the membership demands beyond what exist now. There may be some tinkering with the criteria in the context of facilitating the ability of R.P.F.s to move from province to province and the need to grant special permits, but the essential membership criteria for RPFs (B. Sc. F., sponsorship, experience) will remain unchanged.
