Consultation Regarding Establishing a New Trade of Barber
Regulation Number(s):
N/A
Instrument Type:
Regulation - LGIC
Bill or Act:
Ontario College of Trades and Apprenticeship Act 2009
Summary of Proposal:
Introduction
The Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities ("Ministry") has heard from many individuals who are interested in participating in a distinct trade of barber instead of being part of the trade of hairstylist. The Ministry is seeking input regarding whether the Minister of Training, Colleges and Universities should make a regulation to prescribe the trade of barber under the Ontario College of Trades and Apprenticeship Act, 2009 ("Act").
Background
The Act establishes the Ontario College of Trades ("College") as an industry-driven professional regulatory body to regulate the practice of over 150 trades in Ontario including 22 compulsory trades. The College opened its doors to members on April 8, 2013.
The Act provides that no individual shall engage in the practice of a compulsory trade unless the individual:
i. holds a certificate of qualification in good standing in that trade;
ii. is an apprentice in that trade and is working pursant to a registered training agreement that is in good standing; or
iii. is exempt under the Act from having to hold a certificate of qualification or being an apprentice.
The trade of hairstylist is a trade named as a compulsory trade under the Act. The scope of practice for the trade of hairstylist includes performing, for remuneration, any of the hairstyling services of cutting, designing, permanent waving, relaxing and straightening and colouring. There is no distinct trade of barber named under the Act.
In April 2013, the Minister made a regulation exempting barbers who on March 26, 2013 held a certificate of qualification in good standing in the trade of barber under the Apprenticeship and Certification Act, 1998 from having to pay membership fees to the College until findings are available from a public consultation on whether a separate trade should be established for barber or two years, whichever comes first.
