Law Commission of Ontario Releases Consultation Paper on Vulnerable Workers in Ontario

Law Commission of Ontario Releases Consultation Paper on Vulnerable Workers in Ontario

The Law Commission of Ontario’s Vulnerable Workers and Precarious Work Project reviews the nature of precarious work, the identity of vulnerable workers, the existing protections and enforcement mechanisms for people engaged in these forms of paid work and the impact of precarious work on the daily lives of vulnerable workers and their families.

The LCO has prepared a Consultation Paper and more detailed Background Paper to identify issues and potential areas of reform, and to provide a focal point for discussion and consultation. Some people may choose to read only the Consultation Paper which is a freestanding document. The LCO is interested in hearing from anyone with an interest in these issues, including workers, employers, academics, government and the public at large.
