The Ontario Government, Ministry of Government and Consumer Services and the TSSA have presented to the Operating Engineer Advisory Council (OEAC) for comment. The IPE has provided the OEAC the opinion of the profession regarding the proposed Path 2 option.
The TSSA Advisory Council received the proposed Path 2 Guidelines recently (after acknowledging that the council was not supporting this pathway and encouraged TSSA to concentrate their efforts on the other OE Expert Panel recommendations) and are now expected to review it and provide feedback by January 31st, 2020.
