Labour Canada

Labour Canada, officially part of Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC), is responsible for creating policies, programs, and regulations that support fair and safe working conditions across the country. It oversees workplace standards, employment insurance, occupational health and safety, and labour relations. Its goal is to promote a fair, productive, and inclusive labour market, ensuring workers' rights are protected and employers comply with legal standards. Labour Canada collaborates with unions, employers, and provincial/territorial governments to maintain a balanced and equitable workforce.
