2 RATIFICATION OF THE MOTION - BENEFITS Motion 021/15-16: Moved by Dr. Avtar Jassal to ratify the vote to approve the staff benefits package through RWAM and RRSP matching program as presented at the December 2, 2015 Board meeting. Motion 021/15-16: Carried 4. MATTERS ARISING 4.1 Immunization/ Vaccination Policy Review The prevention and treatment of infectious disease is not within the scope of chiropractic practice. Accordingly, British Columbia chiropractors must not provide any professional advice or counseling to patients in relation to vaccination issues.

3 NEW BUSINESS 5.1 Kahn Kinetic Technique ( KKT ) Dr. Aslam Kahn gave a presentation on KKT. Motion 024/15-16: Moved by Dr. Don Nixdorf to receive the report on KKT as presented. Motion 024/15-16: Carried Concern is that the technique has not been field tested in a regulated chiropractic jurisdiction and/or a school of chiropractic (not their core curriculum, but in their clinic). Motion 025/15-16: Moved by Dr. Avtar Jassal to approve Dr. Aslam Kahn s request for the use of KKT as an approved chiropractic technique in BC under PCH 82. Motion 025/15-16: Defeated Action: Dr. Doug Wright to contact Dr. Kahn to advise the Board s decision and that the device can be used for his individual use in a private domain. 5.2 Bylaw Amendments Review of recommended Bylaw changes in meeting package, prepared by legal and Deputy Registrar. Change 3 officially recognizing the Executive Committee This change was not approved and should be removed completely from the amendments. The concern was too much power in the hands of the Executive Committee. As this is not urgent can be discussed later, to make changes that might be acceptable to the Board. CHANGE 11 add requirement for CPR training This change requires an effective date. The CMTBC passed their requirement on February 19, 2014 and effective November 1, Our current 2-year CE cycle ends on March 31, The effective/required date should be April 30, 2017 Subsection 2 regarding CE credits does not need to be included in the Bylaws change. The Board wishes to grant structured CE credits for completing or renewing the Standard First aid/cpr certificate. Note that the ticket is valid for 3 years, so it will be interspersed thought out the CE cycles. Note that Change #10 removes the number of CE hours required each cycle, and provides the number of continuing education hours specified by the quality assurance committee including any mandatory courses required by the Board. Therefore once the Bylaws are passed, we will need to draft a policy statement from the QAC specifying the hours required. (setting hours, credits, etc.) We can, and should, advise registrants of the pending change and the required for the certification ASAP. (this assumes the Bylaws will pass) That way they can arrange to take the courses early if they wish and have it apply to the current CE cycle or take it later and have it count towards their cycle. Either way, they would have Page 3 of 6

4 to have it completed by the 2017 registration renewal date as the CE requirements must be met for renewal under s. 52(10(e). Motion 026/15-16: Moved by Mr. Derek Hall to approve the amendments to the Bylaws as presented Motion 026/15-16: Carried 5.3 CCEB Results Tabled and Board members to review documentation. 5.4 Osteopaths Action: Dr. Doug Wright to prepare a report for the membership regarding osteopathic practitioners. 5.5 Specialties Review of documents in meeting package and recommendations from legal counsel and Deputy Registrar. Motion 027/15-16: Moved by Mr. Doug Kellner to approve the changes to the PCH permitting use of the term Specialist. Motion 027/15-16: Defeated (10 against - 1 for) 5.6 Chirothin To revise the PCH, as offered by legal, to add 9.3 (h): 9.3 Diagnostic and therapeutic procedures specifically prohibited are: h) supplying supplements for and monitoring a very low calorie diet program. Tabled 5.7 Get In The Loop Review and discussion of documents in meeting package. GITL does not appear to be a web based coupon, rather an promotion to a select group (members of GITL) -registrant pays upfront fee to GITL for marketing services/ad space (similar to most conventional ad or marketing campaigns) - GITL receives no payment from chiro for number of participants, no money from person to GITL to participate. Person contacts registrant directly and pays registrant directly for services provided. Get in The Loop services are permitted as they do not appear to violate the PCHs FINANCE & Investment Committee Karen Kesteloo Balance sheet transition to Great Plains; Income statement requires some adjustments; Under budgeted for amortization of the new IT System. Motion 028/15-16: Moved by Mr. Doug Kellner to receive the Financial & Investment Committee report as presented. Page 4 of 6
