Improving the Free Flow of Labour across Provincial Borders


British Columbia has introduced legislation which would improve the ability of those trained in the trades and professionals to work in any province in Canada.  Bill 9 would be a step towards removing the barriers for workers who are certified in a Canadian province to use their skills for employment in any other Canadian jurisdiction. British Columbia is the first Canadian province to introduce legislation of this sort.

The News Release on Bill 9 is available online at:
