Debates of May 19, 2011 (day 11)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I move, seconded by the honourable Member for Weledeh, that Bill 21, An Act to Amend the Employment Standards Act, be read for the second time.

Mr. Speaker, Bill 21 provides members of the reserve force with an entitlement of unpaid leave from their employment if they are required to be absent for work for the purpose of service with the force. This bill also prohibits an employer from terminating an employee or changing the conditions of his or her employment because an employee is a member of the reserve force. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Bill 21 has had second reading.
