Canada Modernizes Its Labour Code: Get Ready...

I read through the preliminary recommendations of the labour program's report on how to modernize Canada's Federal employment legislation. The provinces often have more comprehensive requirements or define terms differently and the net result is that it's time to (a) modernize the labour code to reflect today's economic and social realities and (b) align the Federal and Provincial laws to best protect workers and keep Canada a leading economic power.

I'd suggest scanning through some of the sections because there are some pretty interesting recommendations on everything from hours of work (focus on flexibility) to new categorizations of employee to some pretty aggressive compliance recommendations.
