In March 1995, the Discipline Committee found Dr. Gabrielle guilty of professional misconduct, as defined in s. 27(29) of Ontario Regulation 448/80, as amended, and in s. 29(30) of Ontario Regulation 548/90, as amended, in that he committed sexual impropriety with a patient. The Committee further found Dr. Gabrielle guilty of professional misconduct, as defined in s. 51(1)(b. 1) of the Health Professions Procedural Code, which is Schedule 2 to the Regulated Health Professions Act, 1991, as amended, in that he had sexually abused a patient. The Committee further found him incompetent, as defined in s. 61(4) ofthe Health Disciplines Act, 1990, as amended, in that he displayed in his professional care of a patient a lack of knowledge, skill or judgment or disregard for the welfare of the patient of a nature or to an extent that demonstrates he is unfit to continue in practice. The Committee further found Dr. Gabrielle incompetent, as defined in s. 52(1) of the Health Professions Procedural Code, which is Schedule 2 to the Regulated Health Professions Act, 1991, as amended, in that his professional care of a patient displayed a lack of knowledge, skill or judgment or disregard for the welfare of the patient of a nature or to an extent that demonstrates that heis unfit to continue to practice or that his practice should be restricted. Consequently, the Committee imposed the following penalty:

1. Dr. Gabrielle was to be reprimanded, with the fact of the reprimand to be recorded on the Register.

2. Dr. Gabrielle s licence to practice was to be suspended for a period of eighteen months.

3. At the conclusion of this period of suspension, Dr. Gabrielle s licence was to be restricted for an indefinite period of
time, such that he be restricted to assisting at surgery at the hospital at which he had privileges.

4. Any removal of the restriction on Dr. Gabrielle s licence imposed under paragraph 3 cited above was to be done by application to the Discipline Committee, and, to be successful, would have to satisfy the following criteria:
 
(a) At least one year was to have elapsed since the date on which this Order became final;

(b) Dr. Gabrielle must have demonstrated that he understood the nature and significance of his unacceptable conduct;

(c) Dr. Gabrielle must have participated in a program of ongoing, twice-monthly psychiatric treatments at his own expense, commencing at the conclusion of his period of suspension;

(d) A thorough psychiatric evaluation must show that Dr. Gabrielle's return to a less restricted practice was compatible with public safety; this evaluation was to be done at the Doctor's own expense by a psychiatrist acceptable to the Registrar who had full knowledge of the findings made by the Discipline Committee; and

(e) Dr. Gabrielle must have demonstrated that his medical knowledge and skills had been maintained;

5. In the event of Dr. Gabrielle successfully obtaining the removal of the restrictions cited above in paragraph 3, his licence to practice was thereafter to be restricted indefinitely such that, should he practice in an office or clinical setting, his practice there was to be supervised by another member of the College who was to submit regular quarterly reports to the Registrar, which were to be satisfactory to the Registrar, confirming that supervision had been carried out and that Dr. Gabrielle was perfoming his professional responsibilities in a competent and ethical fashion;

6. Any removal of the restriction on Dr. Gabrielle s licence to practice imposed under paragraph 5 cited above was to be done by application to a panel of the Discipline Committee. For such application to be successful, Dr. Gabrielle would need to satisfy the following criteria:

(a) A period of two years must have elapsed since the removal of the restrictions imposed under paragraph 3 cited above;

(b) Dr. Gabrielle must have demonstrated that, during the period when the restriction imposed under paragraph 5 cited above was in place, he had carried out his professional responsibilities in a competent and ethical fashion; and

(c) A further psychiatric evaluation of Dr. Gabrielle was to have indicated that his return to unrestricted and unsupervised practice was compatible with public safety. This evaluation was to be done at Dr. Gabrielle's own expense by a psychiatrist acceptable to the Registrar, who had full knowledge of the Discipline Committee's findings.
