Bill C-377 - Mainland Nova Scotia Building and Construction Trades Council

The Federal Conservatives have re-introduced anti-union Bill C-377 to the Senate. The Building Trades has many concerns with this piece of legislation and its potential impact on labour relations in Nova Scotia.

This legislation unfairly singles out trades unions and imposes unprecedented reporting requirements. The Bill’s constitutional validity has been questioned by many, and the Building Trades see Bill C-377 as completely discriminatory and unjust.

We have put in a written request to the Standing Senate Committee on Legal and Constitutional Affairs and have asked to appear before them to speak about Bill C-377. Here is our written submission to the committee and a summary of why we believe this Bill should be defeated.
