Bill 66, Restoring Ontario’s Competitiveness Act, 2018
Another Ontario employment law legislative update! On December 6, 2018 the Ford government introduced Bill 66, Restoring Ontario’s Competitiveness Act, 2018 (“The Bill”). This bill, if passed, will make even more amendments to Ontario’s Employment Standards Act, 2000 (“ESA”) and, of relevance to unionized workplaces, the Labour Relations Act, 1995 (“LRA”).
Bill 66 comes hot on the heels of Bill 47, which passed on November 21, 2018. You can read about Bill 47 and the big changes it brought on our blog here or ask us for a free copy of our e-book, which will give you a more in-depth look.
