VANCOUVERâAs more and more Canadians embrace working from homeâa trend that is forecasted to continue even after COVIDâlabour laws and regulations across Canada no longer fit the needs of modern work models such as telecommuting, according to a new analysis by the Fraser Institute, an independent non-partisan Canadian think tank.
âJust as technological change has made many production procedures and skills obsolete, it is not surprising that many of the labour policies are, too,â said Jason Clemens, executive vice president of the Fraser Institute.
Are Our Labour Laws Still Relevant for Teleworkers?
The study, Are Our Labour Laws Still Relevant for Teleworkers? authored by Professor Morley Gunderson of the University of Toronto, finds that about 40 per cent of the Canadian workforce has the potential to work entirely from home, which corresponds to the proportion of Canadians that were working from home during the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic.
