Applications to Provincial Parliament

Institute For Christian Studies

Notice Is Hereby Given that on behalf of the Institute for Christian Studies (Ics) application will be made to the Legislative Assembly of the Province of Ontario for an Act to amend the Institute for Christian Studies Act (1983; amended 1992). Specifically, the proposed Act will authorize the ICS to grant the degree of Master of Philosophy (in place of the current Master of Philosophical Foundations), to grant the de­gree of Doctor of Philosophy (whereas the current Act allows the ICS to offer a doctoral program of study but not the degree), and to grant honourary degrees. The proposed Act will also make minor amend­ments to the structure of the ICS Board of Trustees.

The application will be considered by the Standing Committee on Regulations and Private Bills.
