    Pat and Hugh Armstrong have an interesting perspective on The Canada Health Act: “The Canada Health Act is a remarkable piece of legislation. For one thing it represents a clear defeat of strong physician opposition” (225).10 Pat and Hugh Armstrong frame the 1984 act as a vanquishing of doctor’s lobby more so than a federalist victory. This is further evidenced by this quotation from Health Care: “The Act’s brevity is, to a large extent, its strength. It made clear that we Canadians share common values when it comes to health care, and it allows each province to meet these principles and conditions in its own way” (25).11 Pat and Hugh Armstrong do not see the bill as being as staunchly federalist as Malcolmson el al. In The Canadian Regime Malcolmson et al.…

    Although the terms of agreement stated above, are applicable to Fern - it is recommended that a non-solicitation clause be placed in his terms of agreement in the event that he decides to accept the offer to join the company. Based on Mann Lawyers (2013), an non-solicitation clause pertains to an agreement indicating that the staff agrees not to approach workers of the business and influence them to leave the establishment for new employment opportunities, or approach customers of the firm for their patronage (Mann Lawyers, 2013). This clause will be important owing to Fern’s status as an award-winning designer and his possible ability to motivate other employees if he decides to disengage from the entity.

    A mandatory monitoring system for employers could ensure that working conditions are in line with regulations, and that contracts are being respected. Both the federal and provincial governments have a role to play: the TFWP is a federal program, while labor standards are enforced at the provincial level. Both levels of government need to work together to protect migrant worker’s rights. The following changes could be made to improve migrant workers experience in Canada ( (1) Migrant workers’ permits should not be tied to a single employer (2) Employers should be subject to mandatory monitoring (3) Migrant workers should have access to settlement services (4) Low-skilled migrant workers should have access to permanent residence, as do…

    United Nations Human Rights (2014) defined Gender stereotyping as “the practice of ascribing to an individual woman or man specific attributes, characteristics or roles that are or should be performed by men and women”. To simplify the definition and to make a clearer view of the gender stereotyping, just think of the perception of the people in the early centuries that the man or the father is the breadwinner and the mother as the homemaker of the family. For the modern century, gender should not justify someone’s work or job because it is a form of discrimination and limits equality. As stated in the Workers’ Rights in Canada (2007), it is considered as discrimination if a worker is denied for his or her job application because of his or…

    The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms can be seen as all-encompassing, and yet, it does not dictate the rules to follow regarding a major component of each person’s life: employment. Or does it? A vast portion of our lives in Canada is spent working, and regardless of the work environment, we interact with other people who may or may not come from the same backgrounds and ideologies as we do. With no specific terminology in the Charter that includes employment law, we must look between the lines and find the connections that lay within. The Charter provides the roadmap for Canadian principles and social values; it lays out the rights and freedoms we have as a people, and promotes the protection of those human rights through its laws.…
