How will the government ensure that regulatory authorities change their certification practices?
The government is committed to full labour mobility. Ministries are working cooperatively with regulatory authorities to make the necessary changes to their regulations. Ministers who are responsible for regulatory authorities would be authorized to review a regulator’s practices and to help ensure that Ontario meets its labour mobility commitments. The proposed OLMA also includes enforcement measures to ensure regulatory authorities comply with the Labour Mobility Code. If passed, the Act would enable the Ontario government to impose fines on regulators who do not remove mobility barriers such as testing and training. It would also allow the province to recover any fines imposed on Ontario by an AIT panel. .
