Federal Labour Standards Review Commission

Cover of the Interim Report Part III of the Canada Labour Code deals with a variety of labour standards established for employers operating in the federal jurisdiction. These standards govern hours of work, minimum wages, holidays, severance pay, unjust dismissal and various types of leave, but not collective bargaining or occupational health and safety. Although some provisions go back to the beginning of the 20^th century, or even earlier, and others have been added in recent decades, Part III itself was enacted in 1965 and has not been systematically reviewed since then.
