On December 6, 2018, Bill 66 - the Restoring Ontario's Competitiveness Act, 2018 - passed First Reading by Ontario’s Conservative Government.
Second Reading will likely occur after the legislature resumes on February 19, 2019.
If enacted in its current form, Bill 66 will amend 18 pieces of legislation, including the Employment Standards Act, Labour Relations Act, Agricultural Employees Protection Act, and Pension Benefits Act. The intent of these changes is to reduce red tape and the regulatory burden currently placed on employers.
