What is the Ontario Labour Mobility Act, 2009 (OLMA)?
The Ontario Labour Mobility Act, 2009, if passed, will support the implementation of labour mobility commitments under the Agreement on Internal Trade (AIT) in Ontario. All governments across Canada endorsed changes to the AIT in January 2009. If passed, the legislation would establish a Labour Mobility Code to govern how Ontario regulators, such as the College of Nurses or Professional Engineers Ontario, will support full mobility for out-of-province workers who are already certified. The proposed legislation would ensure that a worker certified to practice elsewhere in Canada would be certified in that occupation in Ontario without having to complete additional material training or testing.
