An online retailer of prescription eyewear based in British Columbia appealed an application judge's decision that found it was in breach of Ontario's Regulated Health Professions Act by dispensing prescription eyewear to Ontario customers without involving Ontario-licensed health care providers.

The Court of Appeal allowed the appeal, finding that the application judge erred in determining that sufficient constitutional connection existed between the respondent's online sales and Ontario's regulatory scheme.

The court held that while delivery of prescription eyewear falls within the continuum of dispensing activities, the mere delivery of product ordered online and processed in compliance with British Columbia's regulatory regime does not establish sufficient connection to apply Ontario's controlled act provisions to an out-of-province supplier.

The court emphasized that the discrete act of delivery has primarily a commercial aspect rather than a health care one, and that applying Ontario's legislation would effectively grant a monopoly over the importation of prescription eyewear into Ontario.
