  1. 🇨🇦 🧵 2/2
    New Laws

    Drugs
    Starting Dec. 19, Canada will apply “permanent controls” to carisoprodol, a sedative drug found in global illegal drug markets. This means that law enforcement can act to prevent carisoprodol from being imported, used, distributed, or sold. Anyone involved in any of these acts could face criminal penalties.

    Hazardous Products Act

    The act is an update on the Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System (WHMIS). This comprehensive system provides health and safety information on hazardous products used, handled, or stored in Canadian workplaces.

    Suppliers and importers are responsible for meeting the requirements of the Hazardous Products Act and regulations. That includes:

    Determining the appropriate classification of hazardous products
    Providing labels
    Providing safety data sheets

  2. 🇨🇦 🧵 New Laws :
    1/2
    Bill C-59 introduces several updates to the Canada Labour Code and is expected to come into effect on Dec. 12.

    One update is the new leave related to pregnancy loss. Employees who experience a stillbirth are entitled to up to eight weeks of leave of absence or three days of leave for any form of pregnancy loss. Employees who have completed three months of employment are entitled to paid leave during the first three days.
    Another update allows employees up to 16 weeks of unpaid leave to attend to “responsibilities related to the placement of a child into their care as a result of adoption or surrogacy.”
    The existing bereavement leave has also been updated. Employees now have the right to be reinstated in the same or a comparable position at the end of the leave. They’re entitled to be informed of training opportunities while on leave. They’re also entitled to adjust the length of leave if needed, and they have the right to accumulate benefits while they’re on leave.
