A consequential amendment to O.Reg. 297/04 (a Minister's regulation) is also required so that any agency designated to carry out a quality management program under the LSCCLA would be considered to be an entity that is authorized to establish a "quality of care committee" under QCIPA in respect of its activities under the LSCCLA.
