Which organization is responsible for investigating complaints against engineers?

Professional Engineers Ontario (PEO) is the organization responsible for investigating complaints against engineers in the province of Ontario. PEO serves as the regulatory body for the engineering profession, overseeing the licensing and conduct of professional engineers. When a complaint is lodged, PEO has the authority to conduct investigations to ensure that engineers adhere to the professional standards and ethics outlined in their regulations.

The role of PEO includes maintaining public trust in the engineering profession by addressing any allegations of misconduct or professional incompetence. They have established processes and procedures for managing complaints, which might include inquiries, hearings, or disciplinary actions if necessary.

In contrast, the Ontario Ministry of Transportation focuses on transportation matters and policy development related to the province's infrastructure and transport systems, whereas the Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board is concerned with the evaluation and approval of engineering programs in educational institutions, not disciplinary matters. The Association of Professional Engineers, if considered in a broader context, might refer to provincial or regional bodies but doesn't have the specific mandate for investigating complaints that is held by PEO.
