Which CMTO committee would handle allegations of professional misconduct leading to possible certificate revocation?

• A. Discipline Committee
• B. Client Relations Committee
• C. Fitness to Practise Committee
• D. Executive Committee

Answer: (A)

When professional misconduct could lead to losing the license, the body that handles it is the Discipline Committee. This committee reviews complaints, conducts disciplinary hearings, and can impose sanctions such as suspension, conditions on practice, or revocation of the certificate to protect the public. The other committees have different roles: the Fitness to Practise Committee deals with issues of impairment or health affecting ability to practice; the Client Relations Committee focuses on client complaints and relationships in the practice; and the Executive Committee handles governance and policy matters.
