Over the past 15 years under a majority liberal government,
workplaces in Ontario saw many employment and labour law reforms.
Most recently, the liberal government introduced Bill 148 which
made significant changes to the Employment Standards Act,
2000 and the Labour Relations Act, 1995,
among others.
When Ontario went to the polls on June 7th, voters
elected a PC majority government. Given this result,
Ontarians can expect to see many more changes to employment and
labour laws, including changes and rollbacks to those laws
introduced under Bill 148. But, what does Doug Ford leading a
PC majority government mean for workplaces in Ontario?
As we await the Throne Speech setting out the government's
priorities, it remains unclear how the new PC government will
proceed with its employment and labour agenda.
