Again, you're removing “the prescribed” from proposed paragraph 161, and then adding in paragraph 162, “undergo training in the prevention of harassment and violence in the workplace”.

Can legal confirm that this would cover MPs under the parliamentary context? We were told that because we aren't supervisors or managers it had to be elsewhere.

Near the end of the paragraph, after the words “in the work place”, I would like us to add “in accordance with the time periods set by regulation”, so that a time frame will be respected in providing training to employees and employers.

In some places, the deadline is 60 days after hiring someone. We suggest we specify that the training must be provided within a certain period of time, set by regulation.

After the words “dans le milieu de travail”, close to the end of the paragraph in French, we would like to add “conformément aux délais fixés par règlement”. We want to ensure that there will be a deadline that people will have to respect and that it won't take 10 years before training is provided.

Is that singular or plural?

It is plural here. The objective is that training be provided to an employee within the prescribed time frame after the person is hired.
