On October 19, 2022, the federal government  announced that it is seeking public feedback regarding its plan to improve the collective bargaining process.

The government states that the consultation was launched in response to its commitment to introduce legislation by the end of 2023 to prohibit the use of replacement workers during a strike or lockout. To that end, the government is seeking feedback regarding the use of replacement workers in federally-regulated workplaces.

The government is also seeking feedback on improving the maintenance of activities process. In particular, the consultation will focus on the process for deciding whether certain activities need to be maintained during a strike or lockout. The government states that it is not looking to expand the types of services that need to be maintained during a strike or lockout.
