Essential reading for all doctors to learn that Canuck Courts judge EVIDENCE & not look for JUSTICE.
Canadian Courts are ADVERSARIAL not INQUISITORIAL as in many European Countries.
The OMA four staff lawyers do not provide MEDICAL CASE LAW. The OMA Legal dept.does not report and codify CPSO Tribunal decisions.

BTW CPSO " trials" are TRIBUNALS & NOT COURT TRIALS. The TRIBUNAL members have name
cards in front of then unlike COURT JUDGES, One does NOT have to STAND when Tribunal members enter the room. One does not have to SWEAR an OATH or AFFIRM in a TRIBUNAL HEARING.

Unlike the Courts, the CPSO Tribunal charges the OMA member the costs of the proceedings at about $3500 a day.  The CMPA insurance does not cover an APPEAL to Ont. Superior Court. The usual retainer is $30,000. Knowledge of the Law is important.

Determined: Home Secretary Theresa May wants to reduce the 'pull factors' blamed for attracting jobless migrants

Thousands of potential migrants from Romania and Bulgaria could be barred from using NHS hospitals and claiming benefits if they travel to Britain without a job, Theresa May suggested today.

The Home Secretary said she was powerless to extend temporary restrictions on travel from the two eastern European countries when they expire at the end of next year.

But she said she was determined to reduce the so-called 'pull factors' blamed for attracting thousands of jobless migrants to this country.

Home Office sources said officials were looking at the scope for restricting access to key public services for migrants who arrive in this country without a job.

Areas being looked at include healthcare, education, housing and benefits. Detailed proposals will be published next year.

The proposal has echoes of California's controversial 'Proposition 187' law, which barred undocumented immigrants from using public services.
The law was adopted in 1994 but abandoned five years later after being ruled unconstitutional.

Mrs May told the BBC's Andrew Marr Show: 'I will be looking at the transitional controls on Romania and Bulgaria at the end of 2013.
'I will be looking at what we call the pull factors, what is it that attracts people sometimes to come over here to the United Kingdom, so looking at issues about benefits, and access to the health service, and things like that.'

Ministers fear that a mass influx of immigrants from the two former communist regimes could derail the already difficult target of reducing net immigration to under 100,000 by 2015.

Romania and Bulgaria joined the EU at the start of 2007 and remain the two poorest countries in the EU.

Transitional restrictions were imposed to prevent the kind of influx of migrants seen when Poland and other eastern European countries joined the EU.

As a result migrants from these two countries still require a work permit, and there are strict quotas on the number who can come to do low-skilled jobs.

Mrs May said: 'There are no further transitional controls that we can put on - the transitional controls end in December 2013, but that's where the importance of looking at some of the issues about what it is that is attracting people to come here, in terms of things like our benefits system and access to the health service, is so important.'
Mrs May also confirmed she was reviewing the wider question of free movement within the EU. Some Tory ministers feel the original principle of free movement of labour has gradually been transformed into a much broader right to free movement of citizens and their relatives.
Restrictions on free movement are likely to be a key Tory demand in any renegotiation of Britain's relationship with the EU.

The Home Office is also in talks with other EU countries about ending 'abuse' of the existing system by illegal immigrants who enter into sham marriages with people in other EU countries in order to be able to work and travel freely across the continent.

Mrs May insisted that the Government was still committed to its target of cutting net immigration from well over 200,000 a year to under 100,000.

Tory critics believe the target is unachievable without restrictions on immigration from the EU. But senior Liberal Democrats, including Business Secretary Vince Cable argue that tight restrictions on immigration could damage the economy, particularly the thriving university sector.

Mrs May said: 'That is still our aim, that we will get net migration down to the tens of thousands. In the last figures, which were to the end of last December, we saw the first significant fall - 30,000 fewer net migrants - the first significant fall for many years.
'And if we look at the visas situation to June of this year, June 2012, we see a significant cut in the number of visas, particularly in students - 90,000 down just by actually getting out abuse of the system.

'Immigration has been good, but it needs to be controlled, and that's what we're doing.'
