Monte McNaughton, minister of labour, who also oversees immigration, is calling for legislative changes to make the province a more attractive place to work.
“Working for Workers Act” was introduced by the Minister of labour on October 25. If it gets passed, it could mean big changes for Ontario workers.
The act includes the proposed changes that were announced last week for immigrants who are attempting to work in regulated occupations in Ontario.
In short, the Ontario government wants to see the requirements eased on newcomers getting licensed in non-health-related occupations. Namely, they require to remove the requirement for regulatory bodies to require Canadian work experience, eliminate the requirement to do a language test for the purpose of licensing, and speed up the licensing process, especially in cases of emergency.
