Question:

In the field of Human Care Licensing, all jurisdictions have a formal process for appeals where an applicant or a licensee can appeal decisions made that affect the operation of the facility. Many jurisdictions also have a less formal intermediate "Reconsideration" process where decisions around licensure and conditions can be resolved.

Review the processes of BC and Alberta jurisdiction to determine and compare the legislated requirements and the processes available to applicants and licensees.
