Proposed Regulations: Public Notice of Board meetings
1.
Notices for Board meetings that are required to be open to the public will meet the following
requirements:
(a)
Notice will be posted on the Ontario College of Trades (the College) website at least
14 days before the meeting,
(b)
The notice will be in both English and French.
(c)
The notice will include the date, time and place of the meeting. The proposed
agenda for the meeting will also be included in the notice.
Q: Why is this regulation being proposed?
A: Once the College is fully operational, reasonable notice will be given for meetings of the Board that
are required to be open to members of the College and the public. The College is proposing to provide
the public with information about the Board meeting (i.e. date, time, place and agenda) at least 14
days in advance. Where exceptional circumstances warrant it, an emergency Board meeting may be
convened with less than 14 days of public notice.
Q: Will all Board meetings be open to the public?
A: In most cases, Board meetings will be open to the public; however the Ontario College of Trades
and Apprenticeship Act, 2009 (OCTAA) lists some exceptions where the Board has the right to exclude
the public and members from a meeting or part of a meeting. These exceptions include cases where
sensitive information may be disclosed and/or a person’s safety may be jeopardized – please see
section 16(2) of OCTAA for a full list of exceptions.
Q: Will Board meetings be in both English and French?
A: Everyone will have the right to use French when dealing with the College. The College is developing
a policy on French-language services. The policy will be posted on the College website once it is
finalized.

Proposed Regulations: Public Notice of Discipline Committee Hearings
1.
Public notices for Discipline Committee hearings on allegations of professional misconduct or
incompetence by a member will meet the following requirements:
(a)
Notice will be posted on the Ontario College of Trades (the College) website at least
14 days before the hearing.
(b)
The notice will be in both English and French.
(c)
The notice will include:
(i)
The name and registration number of the member who is facing complaints;
(ii)
the date, time and place of the hearing; and
(iii)
the complaint(s) made against the member.
Q: Why is this regulation being proposed?
A: Once the College is fully operational, reasonable notice will be given for hearings by a panel of the
Discipline Committee concerning allegations of incapacity, professional misconduct or incompetence
by a member. The College is proposing to provide the public with information about Discipline
Committee hearings (i.e. date, time, place and agenda) at least 14 days in advance. Where exceptional
circumstances warrant it, public notice of a Discipline Committee hearing may be provided with less
than 14 days.
Q: Is this the same notice that will be given to the member who is facing allegations of incapacity,
professional misconduct or incompetence? Will he or she also receive 14 days of notice?
A: No. A member who is facing allegations of incapacity, professional misconduct or incompetence
will be served directly with a written notice of the hearing well in advance of the hearing date.
Q: Will all Discipline Committee hearings be open to the public?
A: In most cases, Discipline Committee hearings will be open to the public. However, the Ontario
College of Trades and Apprenticeship Act, 2009 (OCTAA) lists some exceptions where the Board has the
right to exclude the public and members from a meeting or part of a meeting. These exceptions
include cases where sensitive information may be disclosed and/or a person’s safety may be
jeopardized – please see subsection 48(7) of OCTAA for a full list of exceptions.

Q: Will Discipline Committee hearings be in held both English and French?
A: Everyone will have the right to use French when dealing with the College. The College is
developing a policy on French-language services. The policy will be posted on the College website once
it is finalized.

Proposed Regulations: Naming of Geographic Areas
1.
2.
For the purposes of reflecting geographic diversity across the governing structure of the
College, the following are designated as geographic areas to be taken into account by the
Appointments Council:
(i)
Central
(ii)
East
(iii)
North
(iv)
West
The geographic areas listed above include the municipalities, counties and districts listed in
Column 2 of Schedule 1 (see page 12 and 13).
Q: What is the Appointments Council?
A: The College of Trades Appointments Council (the Appointments Council) was established under the
Ontario College of Trades and Apprenticeship Act, 2009 (OCTAA) [see section 63 of OCTAA]. The
Appointments Council is composed of a Chair and eight other members who are all appointed by the
Lieutenant Governor in Council.
The Appointments Council has a duty to appoint people to the College’s governing structure. The term
“governing structure” means the College Board of Governors, the College Divisional Boards, the
College Trade Boards, and the roster of adjudicators for Review Panels (Review Panels conduct reviews
and make decisions about journeyperson to apprentice ratios and on classifying trades as either
compulsory or voluntary).
Q: Why are these regulations being proposed?
A: Under OCTAA, the Appointments Council must consider the importance of reflecting diversity when
appointing people to the College, including the diversity of geographic areas of Ontario. This proposed
regulation sets out the various areas in Ontario for the Appointments Council to take into
consideration when making appointments to the College governing structure.
Q: What does the Appointments Council do now in terms of reflecting geographic diversity when
making appointments?
A: The Appointments Council asks people who are applying to be in the governing structure of the
College to tell them if they are from Central, East, West or North Ontario. They include a map in their
application package with every county, regional municipality and regional district in the province in one
of these four areas. These are the same areas as the ones listed in the proposed regulation. If the
proposed regulation is not put in place, the Appointments Council will not be required by regulation to
10
consider these particular geographic areas when making appointments to the College governing
structure.
Q: Why is it important to consider the diversity of geographic areas when making appointments to
the College governing structure?
A: The College is an industry-driven body that seeks to reflect the needs of industry. The College
recognizes that different communities in Ontario face their own unique set of issues. Setting out the
geographic areas for the Appointment Council to take into consideration when making appointments
will help reflect the geographic diversity of Ontario.

General Regulation on Apprenticeship Programs
The College is proposing to make a general regulation governing the establishment of apprenticeship
programs for all trades prescribed under the Ontario College of Trades and Apprenticeship Act, 2009
(OCTAA). A benefit of a general regulation is that it provides a unifying context for more trade-specific
regulations and can set out a framework of guiding principles that increase transparency/clarity when
apprenticeship programs are established.
Proposed Regulations: Apprenticeship Programs - General
1.
Definitions
“Apprenticeship program” means a program established in accordance with this Regulation
which includes workplace-based training and experience and, where applicable, classroom
training and instruction, and is intended to prepare an apprentice to practice the full scope of
the trade;
“Regular daily training hours” means the hours of workplace-based training completed by the
apprentice during the regular daily working hours of the journeyperson with whom the
apprentice works, in time-based apprenticeship programs;
“Journeyperson”, for the purposes of supervising an apprentice in a voluntary trade, includes
an individual who has training and experience in a trade equivalent to an individual who
holds a certificate of qualification in the trade.
2.
(1) The College shall establish an apprenticeship program for a trade in accordance with this
Regulation.
(2) In deciding whether to establish an apprenticeship program, the College shall consider the
following factors:
(a)
the training needs of employers, employees, and the requirements of the labour
market for the trade;
(b)
the content and length of the program, including the proportion of the program that
involves workplace-based training;
(c)
whether the program will prepare the apprentice to complete the subjects of
examination prescribed for the trades, if applicable; and,
(d)
whether the combined elements of the program would prepare the apprentice to
practice the full scope of the trade in accordance with established training and
curriculum standards.
14
3.
4.
(1) In establishing an apprenticeship program for a trade, the College, in addition to any
matters provided for in this Regulation with respect to the apprenticeship program for a
particular trade, may specify:
(a)
Any academic or other prerequisite;
(b)
The content and duration of any classroom instruction and workplace-based training to
be completed;
(c)
Requirements for documenting the training and work experience completed by the
apprentice;
(d)
Matters required to be addressed in a registered training agreement;
(e)
The length of training required in any component of the program;
(f)
Where the apprenticeship program requires that the apprentice complete a specified
number of hours of workplace-based training, whether any hours worked by an
apprentice outside his or her regular daily training hours may be included in computing
the hours spent in workplace-based training.
(1) The College may establish a system of credits for an apprenticeship program, including the
requirements that must be satisfied to obtain credit,
(a)
for the successful completion of a course of study or training; or
(b)
for work performed or experience gained in the trade prior to the registration of the
training agreement.
(2) No credits shall be granted under subsection (1) unless the applicant for an
apprenticeship,
(a)
supplies documentary evidence satisfactory to the Minister of the completion of the
course of study or training, or of the work performed or the experience gained, as the
case may be; or
(b)
passes such tests or examinations as are required.
Q: Do these proposed regulations mean that the College would have the power to create new trades
and apprenticeship programs on its own?
A: No. The College’s approval of apprenticeship programs would be one of the last steps in a much
larger process. The Minister of Training, Colleges and Universities (Minister) has the authority to
prescribe new trades; the College has the authority to establish apprenticeship programs. The College
15
would not be establishing apprenticeship programs on its own – it is the ‘formalization’ of many
decisions that would have come before it.
Q: How will new trades and apprenticeship programs be created when the College goes live?
A: The process for developing new trades and apprenticeship programs is still being developed.
Because the training model for all prescribed trades in Ontario is an apprenticeship model, the
prescribing of new trades is somewhat inseparable from the establishment of apprenticeship
programs, and vice versa. The College is working with the Ministry of Training, Colleges and
Universities (MTCU) to ensure that the process will be comprehensive, transparent and industrydriven. It will involve public consultation and will engage the College’s governance structure for
decision making (e.g. Divisional Boards, Board of Governors).
Information about the new trade and apprenticeship program development process, including some of
the key considerations that go into determining whether or not a new trade and apprenticeship
program should be created, will be made available when they are finalized.

Q: Only some trades seem to be listed in this proposed regulation related to the establishment of
apprenticeship programs. Why aren’t all trades included – don’t they all have apprenticeship
programs?
A: All trades in Ontario have apprenticeship programs which include workplace-based training and
experience and, where applicable, classroom-based training and instruction. Details of the
apprenticeship programs for each trade are set out in policies, as well as training and curriculum
standards.
The Board is required by the Ontario College of Trades and Apprenticeship Act, 2009 (OCTAA) to make
regulations prescribing wage rates, ratios and training hours for apprentices in certain trades. The
College is proposing to mirror the wage rates, ratios and training hours currently set out under the
Trades Qualification and Apprenticeship Act, 1990 (TQAA) and is also proposing to set out whether or
not overtime will be included in training hours for some trades, again as currently set out in the TQAA.
There are no similar regulations for trades named under the Apprenticeship and Certification Act, 1998
(ACA): that is why no other trades are included in this proposed regulation.
Other trades will have the requirements of their apprenticeship program set out in policy documents
such as training and curriculum standards – as is now the case for those trades.
The following table lists the TQAA trades that have trade-specific regulations. Please note that some
trades are named differently under OCTAA (they are outlined in the table below).

Q: Is the College planning to develop trade-specific regulations for all of the other trades to set out
the number of hours required to complete the time-based apprenticeship programs; overtime (if
included in training hours); wage rates; and/or ratios?
A: No. Apprenticeship programs that were developed under TQAA are time-based programs. This
means that an apprentice has to complete a certain number of hours of workplace-based training and
experience and, where applicable, classroom-based training and instruction to meet the requirements
of the program. Apprenticeship programs that were developed under ACA are for trades that are
competency-based. This means that an individual meets the requirements of the program when
he/she can demonstrate that he/she has gained the required knowledge and can perform all of the
required skills set out for that trade. There is no prescribed time minimum for these trades.
19
The Minister has the authority to set out (in regulation) the trades that are subject to wage rates
and/or ratios. Once the Minister has set out in regulation that a trade should be subject to wage rates
and/or ratios, the College has the authority to determine what the actual wage rates and/or ratios
should be. The College is working with MTCU to ensure that the process to make any more trades be
subject to wage rates and/or ratios will be a comprehensive, transparent and industry-driven process.
It will involve public consultation and engage the College’s governance structure for decision making
(e.g. Divisional Boards, Board of Governors).
Q: I am represented by a union. I noticed that the wage rates being proposed for my trade don’t
match my collective agreement. Does the regulation override the collective agreement?
A: The proposed regulation sets minimum wage rates for apprentices in certain trades. This means
that parties to a collective agreement may not negotiate lower standards than those set out in
regulation. In other words employers and unions can enter into collective agreements that have
higher wage rates for apprentice. Given that each collective agreement is unique, we recommend that
you seek legal advice for specific questions related to your trade and collective agreement.
Q: The regulations for TQAA trades listed in this chart seem to have other parts to them that are not
proposed in these regulations, such as age and specific course requirements. Why aren’t those other
things included?
A: All of the trade-specific regulations under TQAA include scopes of practice for the trades. Some
regulations include other things, such as age and specific course requirements for apprenticeship
programs.
Aside from the hours, wage rates and ratios, other elements of the TQAA regulations will not continue
to be set out in regulation for several reasons. Firstly, some of the other elements listed in the TQAA
may no longer apply, or these sections will be set out in policy to make the regulation approach
consistent between trades and to make apprenticeship programs easier to modernize. In other cases,
these elements are set out in other regulations (see below).
The scopes of practice for all named trades in Ontario (i.e. all TQAA and ACA trades) are already set out
in regulations under OCTAA by sector – that is why they do not need to be set out in these regulations.

Construction sector: Ontario Regulation 275/11
Industrial sector: Ontario Regulation 276/11
Motive power sector: Ontario Regulation 277/11
Service sector: Ontario Regulation 278/11
20
Q: Why is the title of these proposed regulations “establishing apprenticeship programs” when
apprenticeship programs for these trades already exist?
A: Because OCTAA is ‘new’, existing apprenticeship programs are being ‘established’ for the first time
under this Act. The name of the regulations proposed here reflects the Board’s regulation making
authority on this subject matter.

employ other journeypersons in the trade, the apprentice’s rate of wages shall be
determined in accordance with subsections (1) and (2). However, any reference in those
subsections to the average hourly rate of wages for journeypersons employed by the
employer in the trade of brick and stone mason shall be deemed to be a reference to the
average hourly rate of wages paid to journeypersons employed in the trade in the locality in
which the apprentice is employed.

An email will be sent to all stakeholders in OCOT's database when the official regulations are posted to
Ontario's e-Laws (www.e-laws.gov.on.ca) and OCOT's (www.collegeoftrades.ca) websites. If you would
like to be added to OCOT's database, please contact info@collegeoftrades.ca with your request to
receive email updates. It is anticipated that these regulations will be finalized and posted to e-Laws in
the winter of 2012-2013.
