  <description>In this episode, Vijay breaks down the College of Psychologists and Behaviour Analysts of Ontario’s proposed reforms, which aim to speed up licensure and increase access to care. While supporters argue these changes could reduce wait times, many psychologists, educators, and community organizations warn they may compromise the quality and safety of mental health care. Featuring insights from the Psychology Advocacy Network, this episode explores what’s at stake, the growing pushback from professionals, and what these decisions could mean for patients across the province.
