Seamus O’Regan

The Government of Canada believes in collective bargaining. …This past summer, however, Canadians experienced an economic disruption that no single dispute should be responsible for. …Minister of Labour Seamus O’Regan announced the appointment of an Industrial Inquiry Commission on the underlying issues in longshoring labour disputes at Canada’s West Coast ports. The Commission will be chaired by Vincent Ready and will include Amanda Rogers as a Member of the Commission. The Commission will soon begin meeting with stakeholders and reviewing consultation submissions from relevant parties. The Commission will present its findings and recommendations in a report to the Minister in Spring 2025. …The goal of this Inquiry is stability. Canada is a reliable trading partner to the world. …But our credibility depends on the stable operation of our supply chains. We must do everything we can to preserve that stability.
