Description
Practice rights legislation in Canada continues to be contested 50 years after its first enactment. In Ontario, one of
the earliest provinces to enact restrictive legislation, the challenges have focused on how the legislation has been
implemented rather than on whether or not public accounting should be regulated. To better understand the contested
issues in this field, we examine the process undertaken by the Public Accountants Council of Ontario to implement the
Public Accountancy Act of 1950.
