Imagine the horror to learn that even though the OVC says that they can take 3 years to opine on a complaint there is a remedy.
If you have not received an opinion in 150 days, you can write to HPARB (Health Professions Appeal and Review Board) https://www.hparb.on.ca/
It is almost a year and the OVC have not even sent me a Statement of Facts. Unacceptable.
I wrote to the Federal MP and received a verbose letter not saying much. We can’t get involved blah blah blah. No mention of the 150-day rule. I learned of this process from a Provincial MP. I wrote to three, Only one told me of this. Now you know.
I will make sure that all are aware of this!
Not sure what to expect. The only thing I have not asked for is a disclosure of conflicts.
It is a shame that these beautiful creatures have so few real advocates.
I will keep you posted but I expect they protect their ‘own’. Animals’ lives simply don’t matter that much. Money and rhetoric are more important.
