As the Standing Committee on Legal and Constitutional Affairs was about to begin meetings to consider Bill C‑377, Liberal Party of Canada leader Justin Trudeau, in a letter to CAPE President Emmanuelle Tremblay, informed the Association that his party, if it were to form the next government, would scrap Bill C-377 on the “transparency” of labour organizations and repeal Bill C‑525 on union representation, which was assented to in December 2014 and is slated to come into force in June 2015.
The New Democratic Party has already denounced and voted against these two pieces of legislation, and CAPE will be asking the NDP to make this same commitment.
