All regions of Québec have officially moved to the green alert level since June 28, 2021 as part of the provincial government's progressive deconfinement plan. In fact, there are no longer any regions in the red, orange and yellow zones in Québec.

On July 7, 2021, the Minister of Health and Social Services of Québec announced that new, more relaxed sanitary measures will come into effect on July 12, 2021 and will apply to the whole province.

In light of these new relaxed measures, the Commission des normes, de l'équité de la santé et de la sécurité au travail (the "CNESST"), which continues to monitor the evolution of Québec's progressive deconfinement, recently modified the preventive measures applicable in workplaces located in green zones. Such changes to the preventive measures modifies certain previous measures contained in the Guide des normes sanitaires en milieu de travail.

Tariffs, Terminations And EI: Implications Of Canada’s New Support Package For Employers

Canada's federal government has announced a $3.5 billion rapid response support package in anticipation of retaliatory tariffs against the United States, introducing new temporary employment insurance measures and workforce retention programs. The package extends EI benefits, waives waiting periods, and creates funding opportunities for employers to retain and retrain workers rather than implement large-scale layoffs.
