History

The Canadian Midwifery Regulators Consortium (CMRC) was established in 2000 via a national process to create an inter-provincial labour mobility agreement. In March 2001, the Agreement on Mobility for Midwifery in Canada was signed by all midwifery regulatory authorities as well as provincial/territorial midwifery associations and midwifery education programs in Canada. Since that time, the CMRC has continued to work toward the harmonization of standards and administrative processes for the profession of midwifery, while maintaining a respect for provincial and territorial differences.
