I would like to start by talking a little bit about the mandate of the Labour Program.
The Labour Program's mandate is to promote safe, fair and productive workplaces and cooperative workplace relations. The Labour Program delivers on its mandate through the administration and enforcement of the Canada Labour Code (CLC), which has three parts. The first part deals with labour relations.
Part I of the legislation governs industrial relations in federally regulated workplaces. It's also the part of the act that establishes the Canada Industrial Relations Board and establishes federal conciliation and mediations services, which are located within the labour program.
The second part deals with occupational health and safety, and the third part deals with labour standards.
