If a person procures or causes to be procured his registration by false
or fraudulent representations or declarations, the registrar may,
on the receipt of sufficient evidence of the falsity or fraudulent
character, represent the matter to the council, and may on the written
order of the president, attested by the seal of the college, erase his
name from the register, and cause notice of the fact and cause to be
published in the Manitoba _Gazette_, and after such notice has appeared
such person shall cease to be a member of the College of Physicians
and Surgeons, and to enjoy any privilege enjoyed or conferred by
registration at any further time without the express sanction of the
council (_ib._, s. 39).
FORFEITURE OF RIGHTS.—Any registered medical practitioner convicted
of felony or misdemeanor before or after the passage of the act or his
registration forfeits his right to registration, and by direction of
the council his name shall be erased. If a person known to have been
convicted of felony or misdemeanor presents himself for registration,
the registrar may refuse registration. If any person registered be
judged, after due inquiry by the council, to have been guilty of
infamous or unprofessional conduct in any respect, the council may
direct the registrar to erase his name (_ib._, s. 40).
The council may, and upon the application of any three registered
medical practitioners shall, cause inquiry to be made into the case of
a person liable to have his name erased from the register, and on proof
of such conviction or such infamous or unprofessional conduct shall
cause his name to be erased; but no erasure shall be made on account of
his adopting or refraining from adopting the practice of any particular
theory of medicine or surgery, nor on account of conviction for a
political offence out of Her Majesty’s dominions, nor on account of the
conviction which ought not in the opinion of the council or committee
disqualify him from the practice of medicine or surgery (_ib._, s. 41).
The council may order to be paid, out of funds at their disposal,
such costs as to them may seem just, to any person against whom any
complaint has been made which, when fully determined, is found to have
been frivolous and vexatious (_ib._, s. 42).
An entry erased by order of the council shall not be again entered
except by order of the council or a judge or court of competent
jurisdiction (_ib._, s. 43).
If the council think fit, they may direct the registrar to restore any
entry erased, without a fee, or on payment of a fee not exceeding the
registration fee, as the council may fix (_ib._, s. 44).
The council is authorized to ascertain the facts of any case for the
exercise of its powers of erasing and restoring by committee (_ib._, s.
45).
The act provides in detail for proceedings before such committee
(_ib._, s. 46 to 50).
