Original Note:
The legislation does not make "misinformation" to a patient a crime or punishable by jail, despite the tweet's claim. Section 259, quoted in the photo, does not provide for jail terms. Under section 514, jail is possible if someone misleads an investigation by the board. https://www.leg.bc.ca/parliamentary-business/legislation-debates-proceedings/42nd-parliament/3rd-session/bills/progress-of-bills
