Division 39 of the enactment dismantles the Canadian Artists and Producers Professional Relations Tribunal and assigns its powers, duties, and functions to the Canada Industrial Relations Board. The government is introducing amendments to the Status of the Artist Act to repeal those sections of the act that establish CAPPRT and to replace all other references to the tribunal with references to the Canadian Industrial Relations Board.
Part II of the Status of the Artist Act will continue to serve as the legislative framework for professional relations between artists and producers in the federal jurisdiction. However, the CIRB will fulfill CAPPRT's responsibilities under the act, with the same duties and powers.
