Bill C-378 — Loi modifiant le Code canadien du travail (plaintes des anciens employés)

This proposed law, C-378, wants to change the rules about workplace complaints. Right now, it might be hard for someone who used to work at a company to officially complain about something that happened while they were employed. This proposed law would let former employees file a formal complaint, even after they've quit or been fired. This change would affect anyone who works in a federally regulated workplace. This includes jobs like banking, transportation, and telecommunications. It matters because it could give former employees a way to address issues like harassment or unfair treatment that they experienced while working. They might have been afraid to speak up while still employed. This proposed law could make workplaces fairer. It gives people more power to report problems, even after they've moved on to new jobs. It could also encourage companies to treat their employees better, knowing that they could face complaints even from former staff.

This bill has not yet been published on the government website.
