Proposed Amendments to Canada Labour Standards Regulations

March 13, 2025

In 2019, Sherrard Kuzz LLP reported on Bill C-86, the Budget Implementation Act, 2018, No. 2 and its introduction of significant amendments to Part III of the Canada Labour Code (the “Code”). Bill C-86 received Royal Assent on December 13, 2018 and has yet to be proclaimed in force.

On February 22, 2025, the Government of Canada published draft regulations (“Regulations”), to support the yet-to-be enacted amendments as they relate to Equal Treatment and Temporary Help Agencies. The Government anticipates that these amendments will come into force by Order in Council in late 2025 or early 2026, depending on the feedback received and time required to make any future changes to the Regulations. The Government has launched a 30-day consultation period which ends on March 24, 2025 at 11:59pm EST.
