Bill Detail
An Act to amend the Canada Labour Code
This enactment repeals the section of the Canada Labour Code that authorizes the Minister of Labour to take measures to promote conditions favourable to the settlement of an industrial dispute or difference, including referring any question to the Canada Industrial Relations Board or directing the Board to take any measure that the Minister considers necessary.
Bill C-247 proposes to repeal a section of the Canada Labour Code that gives the Minister of Labour the power to intervene in industrial disputes. Currently, the Minister can take steps to encourage the resolution of disagreements between employers and employees, such as asking the Canada Industrial Relations Board (CIRB) to get involved or directing the CIRB to take specific actions deemed necessary for settlement.
