Ontario’s regulatory college for medical doctors has temporarily suspended the licence of Dr. Patrick Phillips, a family physician who is known for speaking out against COVID-19 mandates and restrictions.

The College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario (CPSO) previously referred Phillips to its physicians and surgeons disciplinary tribunal, alleging that he had “engaged in disgraceful, dishonourable or unprofessional conduct” in relation to his communications on issues related to the COVID-19 pandemic, including posts on social media and other digital platforms.
