Human Resources committee  Yes. The normal refusal-to-work process requires an employee to approach their supervisor with the issue. If it can't be resolved there, they go to the occupational health and safety committee. If the committee members can't come to a conclusion that's suitable to everyone, then

Human Resources committee  It wouldn't be associated with our department's correspondence, so no, I would not be aware.

Human Resources committee  That's correct. The only awareness I would have is what tipsheets the CCOHS has issued. Yes, you're right. From a complaint perspective I wouldn't have visibility into that.

Human Resources committee  That would be correct.

Human Resources committee  I would maybe turn this one to Mark Perlman because he's responsible for accommodations in ESDC and would be more aware than I would be.

Human Resources committee  The CSA would want to comment on their own timelines. The CCOHS training materials, which would in part address your question, are expected to start being developed very shortly and should be available in 2021.

Human Resources committee  They would fall for CCOHS, but in terms of the activity the labour program's going to undertake, we'll be focusing principally on the key elements that will contribute the most benefit based on the work we do. The key elements would be to make sure every organization that we link

Human Resources committee  Many employers should have had biological hazards listed in their HPP—hazard prevention program—but many may not have. We will be working with them to make sure they understand that those need to be included, and specifically as they relate to COVID. We'll actually have industria

Human Resources committee  I don't have the statistics but I could certainly ask Anne Tennier, who's the president, to provide those and we could forward them to the committee. I think you'd find that it's a fairly significant number in both instances. I expect that it will increase dramatically as they br

Human Resources committee  They do surveys with the people who use their products. I'm not sure to what degree they've kept that up, because they're very overwhelmed right now and they're focused on delivery. Again, I can check with Anne and ask her to provide the information. I was part of a discussion j

Human Resources committee  Thank you for your question. We have worked very hard with industry and the aerospace sector. Despite the fact that our proactive activities have declined overall, our proactive activities in this sector have increased by almost 80% over the previous year. We are aware of the c

Human Resources committee  Back in late October the Canadian Standards Association issued a press release that indicated they were going to set up a testing and certification centre in Canada to ensure we had better capacity nationally to access PPE that met our requirements. The labour program is linked

Human Resources committee  I appreciate the time and I'm sorry for the technical challenge. I happen to be the chair of CCOHS so I have some visibility into its operations from that perspective. It has done an extraordinary amount of work to issue tipsheets that are helpful to all jurisdictions and secto

Human Resources committee  For $1.3 million this year and $1.2 million in the subsequent year, CCOHS is hoping to do significantly more advisories, tipsheets, direction, guidance, and most importantly, additional training capacity to ensure that as people retool and return to the workforce, or re-return to

Human Resources committee  I can comment that it actually wasn't a large challenge for us with regard to this particular program. Service Canada does manage it on our behalf, but what happens is that the bankruptcy folks or trustees actually administer most of the calculations. They provide the packages in
