Bill No. 109 of 1951. A BILL TO AMEND THE ALBERTA PHARMACEUTICAL ASSOCIATION ACT, 1945. NOTE. This Bill amends The Alberta Pharmaceutical Association Act, 1945, being

chapter 15 of the Statutes of Alberta,

Section 25 is amended by striking out subsections (5), (6) and (7) and by substituting four new sections. The effect of these amendments is that academic qualifications for membership in the Association will no longer be deter mined by the Council of the Association but will be deter mined by the General Fa,culty Council of the University of Alberta. The new

section 25a requires the Council of the Associa tion to enter into an agreement with the General Faculty Council of the University for the conduct of examinations. It also makes it dear that the General Faculty Council will conduct and determine the subjects of all examinations required under this Act. The new se!ction 25b deals with candidates other than those who have degrees from the University of Alberta.

Such a candidate must satisfy the General Fa~ulty Council of the University that his qualifkations, at the time they were acquired, were at least the equivalent of the academic qualifications required for registration in the Province at that time. Such a ,candidate must also satisfy the Council of the Association that he has been in the active practice of pharmacy throughout the major part of the five years immediately preceding the date of his application if he graduated more than five years prior to his application.

If he graduated less than five years prior to the date of his application he must satisfy the Council of the Association that he has been in the acti ve practice of pharmacy or engaged in the post graduate study of pharmacy throughout the major part of the time between his graduation and his application for registration. A candidate who meets these 'requirements is deemed to have satisfa,ctory academic qualifi,cations. The requirements of the new

section 25c are similar to those contained in the former subsection (6) of

section 25. It deals with the case of a pharmacist who is unable to qualify under

section 25b. In such a case the University may prescribe such courses and examinations as it deems

u necessary in order to bring a candidate up to the a·cademic qualifications required for registration in the Association. The new

section 25d requires the registrar of the Asso ciation to register every candidate who has satisfactory academic qualifications and who complies with the other requirements of the section. The application for registra tion must be made in person and the applicant must have been a resident of the Province for three months. He is also required to be twenty-one years of age, of good char acter and to produce evidence that his name has not been erased from the register of any pharmaceutical association and that he has not been convicted of malpra:ctice.

He is 'required to have practised or interned for a period of time equal to that required of graduates of the University of Alberta. He must also prove membership in a pharmaceu tical association and must pay the prescribed fee. This Bill comes into force on the 1st day of July, 1951. KENNETH A. McKENZIE, Legislative Counsel. (This note does not form any part of the Bill but is offered in explanation of its p1~ovisions.)
