This release includes updates to Appendix A - Recent Regulatory Developments and Appendix IF - Issues in Focus, as well as a new memo on Multi-Jurisdictional Regulation.
Highlights
Appendix A. Recent Regulatory Developments—§ A:12. Nurses--Ontario Moves to a Single Classification for Nurse Practitioners - Effective July 1, 2026, the College of Nurses of Ontario moved to a single Nurse Practitioner (NP) classification, removing the previous population-specific registration certificates. These certificates were based on the population they were authorized to treat, such as Adult, Pediatric, and Primary Health Care. Current NPs automatically transition to the single classification, and CNO states that no additional education, examinations, or training are required for the transition. The change aligns with a national initiative led by the Canadian Council of Registered Nurse Regulators to streamline NP regulation across provinces and territories. Additional information is available at: https://www.cno.org/standards-learning/nurse-practitioners/a-single-classification-of-nurse-practitioners-nps.

On May 5, 2026, the Court of King’s Bench issued a Practice Direction providing for the presumptive remote appearance of accused who are in custody at a Provincial Correctional Centre at detention review hearings under sections 520 and 525 of the Criminal Code unless counsel advise at least five full business days prior to the scheduled hearing date that the accused is to appear at the hearing in person. Since becoming effective on September 8, 2026, the Court has had requests for the accused to appear in person for the purpose of having the accused sign their supporting affidavit with the required administration of oath or affirmation.
The Criminal Proceedings Rules of the Manitoba Court of King’s Bench, SI/2016-34 (Canada) provide as follows: Affidavit of applicant in custody 9.03 (4) When the applicant is in custody, the registrar may accept the applicant’s unsworn affidavit for filing if … (b) the applicant is to appear at the judicial interim release hearing by video link and the truth of the contents of the unsworn affidavit is to be confirmed by the accused to be true at the hearing.
Accordingly, instead of requesting the transportation of the accused, subject to a direction otherwise by the presiding judge, an available option is for the accused when they appear by video in the courtroom to then confirm the truth of the contents of their affidavit.
The Manitoba Law Library would like to acknowledge with gratitude that we are situated on Treaty One Territory, the traditional lands of the Anishinaabe, Cree and Dakota peoples, and the homeland of the Métis Nation.
