The Motor Vehicle Operators Hours of Work Regulations modify sections 169 and 171 of Part III of the Canada Labour Code.
They cover employees in the federal motor transport industry including bus operators, city motor vehicle operators and highway motor vehicle operators involved in the interprovincial and international transport of goods or passengers and in the transport of mail on contract with Canada Post. (These are further defined in Section I - Definitions, below.)
