Government Liaison

Provincial Government of Ontario
PEO’s Government Liaison Program (GLP)

Through the GLP,  PEO uses its province-wide chapter system to deliver messages to Members of Provincial Parliament (MPPs) and other stakeholders.

PEO states it delivers these three messages to MPPs:

1. PEO has a legislative mandate under the Professional Engineers Act  to regulate the practice of profession engineering in the public interest.

2. The self-regulating engineering profession – comprising of over 90,000 professionals – has been successfully serving and protecting the public for more than 100 years.

3. PEO has unique knowledge and expertise and it is in the best interest of government to consult with it before considering any new policy directions that may have the potential to impact the regulation of the practice of professional engineering.
