The next bill is Bill C-504, An Act to amend the Canada Labour Code (volunteer firefighters). It would amend the Canada Labour Code so as to prohibit reprisals against volunteer firefighters who have to leave their workplace. This would of course apply to workplaces under federal jurisdiction. The bill does not bear on matters that are not of federal jurisdiction, does not clearly breach the Canadian Constitution, and no similar private member's bill is presently on the order paper. Moreover, no comparable government bill is currently on the order paper.
