a recent Court of Appeal case in Saskatchewan struck down a discipline committee's finding of professional misconduct against a registered nurse who had posted critical comments about the care her grandfather received at a long-term care facility.

The Court also considered whether the professional's freedom of expression was unjustifiably infringed upon.
