The Discipline Committee (DIC) hears and determines allegations of professional misconduct or incompetence against a PEO licence holder (professional engineer “P.Eng.”, temporary licence, provisional licence or a limited licence) or a holder of a Certificate of Authorization.
The DIC’s jurisdiction is triggered upon a decision of the Complaints Committee, Council, or Executive Committee to refer a matter to the DIC for determination. The DIC also hears applications by licence holders who apply for licences or Certificates of Authorization after a prior revocation and suspension. The parties to a discipline proceeding are set out in the Professional Engineers Act.
Click here to see how misconduct and incompetence are defined at section 28 of the Act.
Pursuant to section 28(3)(b) of the Act, the DIC also fulfills roles similar to what is known as a Fitness to Practise Committee within other self-regulated professions. For further information on reporting such a situation that may involve a licensee, contact PEO’s registrar.

Discipline Committee Practice Directions
- Timeline on Release of Discipline Committee Decisions and Reasons:
The Discipline Committee’s written Decision and Reasons are typically issued within 30 days following completion of a hearing.
- Appeals of Discipline Committee Decisions:
Pursuant to the Professional Engineers Act, a party who is dissatisfied with a Discipline Committee decision has a statutory right of appeal to the Ontario Divisional Court. Appeals must be filed with the Divisional Court within 30 days of the date of the Discipline Committee decision. You will find this date at the end of the decision document. The Ministry of the Attorney General’s Guide to Appeals in Divisional Court explains how to apply for an appeal in Divisional Court. You may want to get legal advice before you start your appeal.
- Discipline Hearing Recordings and Transcripts:
Motion or hearing proceedings before the Tribunal are recorded by an independent court reporter. If a party wishes a partial or complete transcript, these can be ordered directly from the court reporter. Costs of transcribing the recordings are the responsibility of the party requesting the transcript.
The transcript is the official record of the proceeding. The court reporter may record all or parts of the hearing to facilitate preparing the transcript. There are no recordings available of any hearing.
To obtain the contact information of the court reporter, please email your request to the Tribunal Office:
