2024 By-Law Amendment
An amendment to the CLPNM By-Laws was approved by the Board of Directors, and confirmed at the 2024 Annual General Meeting of the CLPNM on June 3, 2024.
By-Law Amendments for The Regulated Health Professions Act
The CLPNM is awaiting approval from the Government of Manitoba to complete the transition to governance under The Regulated Health Professions Act (RHPA). When the CLPNM transitions to the RHPA, its by-laws will need to be replaced. Draft by-laws have been prepared and were conditionally approved by the CLPNM Board of Directors in April of 2023. For consistency, further revisions to the draft by-laws may be required once regulations for the profession are finalized.
The draft RHPA by-laws, including rationale, were posted to the CLPNM website in the Spring of 2023 to provide CLPNM registrants ample advanced notice and the opportunity to make comments. Any registrant who wishes to make comments are invited to contact the CLPNM.

Note that, until the profession’s transition to the RHPA is complete, practical nurses continue to be regulated under The Licensed Practical Nurses Act.
