I would now like to ask Ms. Pasma a question, as she has already mentioned many reasons why an employer can refuse to provide flexible work arrangements. The range of reasons is so great that it can include anything. Basically, the employer can refuse to provide flexible work arrangements under practically any circumstances.
Ms. Pasma, you have often said that we should rely on what is done in other jurisdictions in Canada.
In your view, is there another jurisdiction that might have a higher standard, meaning restrictions or limitations on an employer's possible excuses. Are you able to direct us to a more appropriate jurisdiction?
