Human Resources committee  Mr. Boulerice, I would reply that the workers you are talking about are not subject to part I of the Canada Labour Code. However, Bill C‑58 aims to amend that part. Unfortunately, these workers are not under our jurisdiction.

Human Resources committee  Thank you for your question, Ms. Vignola. New subclause 94(5) serves to clarify what a contractor who was hired prior to the notice to bargain can do.

Human Resources committee  I'll respond quickly. The Canada Labour Code has provisions for preventive withdrawal. You are right, however, that Quebec has different provisions that provide for, among other things, leave or guaranteed pay during such withdrawal. This is the difference between the federal an

Human Resources committee  We are currently reviewing these provisions.

Human Resources committee  I'll turn to Andrew Brown on this one to talk about the work that is being done with our colleagues at ESDC. Go ahead, Andrew.

Human Resources committee  Ms. Chabot, thank you for your question. We don't have that specific answer. We have data on the measures that were applicable to federal public servants.
