Bill Detail
An Act to enact the Free Trade and Labour Mobility in Canada Act and the Building Canada Act ✓ Became Law
This enactment repeals Division 20 of Part 3 of the Economic Action Plan 2015 Act, No. 1, which authorizes the Treasury Board to establish and modify, despite the Public Service Labour Relations Act, terms and conditions of employment related to the sick leave of employees who are employed in the core public administration.
This bill, known as the One Canadian Economy Act, aims to boost Canada's internal economy by making it easier to trade goods and services and for workers to move between provinces. It sets up rules to recognize provincial or territorial standards for goods and services, meaning if it's okay in one province, it's generally okay across Canada. For workers, it ensures that licenses or certifications from one province are recognized in others, making it simpler to work in different parts of the country. The Act also includes provisions to fast-track projects deemed to be in the national interest by the Governor in Council, potentially bypassing some standard regulatory reviews.
