Board of Directors of Chiropractic was advised that it no longer had control over unethical advertising
In 1955 the regulations were again changed by the government and the Board of Directors of Chiropractic was advised that it no longer had control over unethical advertising. This presented serious problems, not only for the Board, but also for the Ontario Chiropractic Association.
Many in responsible positions in the profession wondered why enabling legislation was being thwarted, by whom, and if these continuing events were deliberate. This removal of control over advertising from a piece of so-called “regulatory legislation”, was the direct result of
government action, and it was continued for an entire decade before the Department of Health could be convinced to restore the control. This was done simply by reauthorizing a regulation which had been in force from 1944 to 1955, and which the government itself had rescinded.
