Bill C-3, An Act to amend the Criminal Code and the Canada Labour Code

Third Reading.

Vote

Yea.

Rationale

Bill C-3 provides protection for healthcare workers and 10 days of paid sick leave. What does protection for healthcare workers mean? This will make the intimidation and threats to healthcare workers illegal and extends to online threats. It also makes obstructing healthcare workers from doing their job illegal. This includes those accessing health services, including abortion services. It does NOT make peaceful protest or labour action illegal, we are protecting charter rights. What does paid sick leave mean? If you are a federally regulated worker, you will now receive 10 days of sick leave. This is enough in case someone needs to isolate for two weeks and covers almost one million workers.

Result

Passed.
