Session B: Professional is a Verb not a Noun!

If you’ve ever told anyone “I’m a qualified person” you might have been lying without knowing it.

There is only the qualified person. In the securities sphere, the qualified person is the professional that approves a particular item of scientific or technical disclosure for a mineral project. In the environmental sphere, it’s the professional that conducts or supervises a particular environmental site assessment and certifies the Record of Site Condition. These are things you do, not things you are.

The presenters in this session will give you a clear understanding of what it means to be the qualified person and what it means to act as one, and how to distinguish your professional status as a P.Geo. from your professional function as a qualified person. That distinction is one every professional needs to know how to make.

Speakers:

Sarah Murray (Project Manager, Earth and Environment, WSP) – The Dirt on QPs – O.Reg.153/04 and O.Reg.406/19

Simon Gautrey, P.Geo., FGC (Principal Hydrogeologist, Wood PLC) – How can we shape the QP concept to further protect the public?

Victoria Yehl, M. Sc., P. Geo. (British Columbia Securities Commission) – Mind your P and Q: What is the difference between a P.Geo. and a Qualified Person?

Chris Collins, MBA, P. Geo. (Chief Mining Advisor, British Columbia Securities Commission) – Qualified Persons and Independence in NI 43-101
