OMA Board Motion to block Retired docs without CPSO licence to stand for Election.

An attempt by OMA Board to forbid docs who had given up their CPSO licence to be eligible for ANY elected post was defeated by 90 to 70. Only 160 of 260 delegates bother to turn up for the Sunday 1/2 day meeting for which they are paid. 1600 retired OMA members don't have CPSO licences @ $1482/yr. This new By-law affected FIVE COUNCIL members including past MRC Chairman GIBLON. OMA PP WEXLER, also on CPSO Council, spoke against the bylaw. Will be reviewed again at next Council.
