The Member and his engineering firm pled guilty to professional misconduct for signing and sealing deficient mechanical, electrical, and fire safety drawings for a proposed hotel and retail building.

The Discipline Committee accepted a joint submission on penalty, which included the revocation of the Member's licence and Certificate of Authorization, suspended on the condition that the Member resign, surrender his Certificate, and never reapply.

The Committee ordered the decision to be published with names, finding that the penalty amounted to a revocation triggering mandatory publication under the Professional Engineers Act, and that publication was in the public interest.
