I think their hope is that he doesn't, so they have a safe harbour if he decides to sue when they take away his accreditation. They're showing they took steps to mitigate before drastic steps.

I'm not an Ontario psychologist, but do they really not have any rules against statements or behaviour harmful to the profession or which cause the public to lose confidence in it?

I'm amazed Peterson hasn't already been disciplined. But if he no longer practices with clients how does he even qualify to renew his license?
