section 8 is struck out and a new sub

section is substituted. The purpose of the amendment is to clarify the subsection and in particular to make it clear that it is not applicable in cases of collective bargaining under

Part V of the Act. The new subsection provides that the Board may arbitrate between employers and emp loyees in any case where, in the opinion of the Board, there has been a violation of any provision of Parts I, II, III, or IV or of any order, regulation or

schedule made pursuant to those Parts.

Section 9 (1) (

c) is slightly ~Jmended by the addition of the words "or produce". The

Section 14 is amended to include a referenee to sub sections. Subsection (6) provides that an employer who violates the provisions 'of

section 10 is guilty of an offence. Subsection (7) provides that an employer who falsifies records of hours or of wages or gives any other false in~orrnation to the Board respecting wages or hours is guilty of an offence and liable to a penalty.

Section 14 is amended to incluude a reference to sub gection (1) of

section 10. The provisions of the Act relat ing to hours of work do not apply to persons holding positions which are supervisory or managerial. Under these circumstances there is no reason why an employer should record the hours of work of such persons. The effect of the amendment is to exempt the employer from the necessity of recording the hours of work of persons hold ... ing managerial or supervisory positions.

Section 17 is struck out and a new

section is substituted. The amendment clarifies the intention of the present section. A1so, when employees have been notified of their hours of work or of their shifts these are not to be changed without twenty-f.our hours' notice to the employee.

Section 24 (9) is amended. This subsection deals w!th handicapped employees and enables the Board to authorize wages less than minimum wages for handicapped employees. The effect of the amendment is that the Board will act under this subsection upon the request of the handicapped emp- loyee.

Section 26 is amended by striking out clauses (

a) and (

b) of subsection (1). This secti.on provides that where an employee wishes to bring an action against his employer to recover the minimum wage he must d.o so within twelve months .of the time the cause of action first accrued. The

section also pr.ovides that the employee must give notice of his intention to bring the acti.on within six months. The effect of the amendment is to strike out the requirement relating to notice within six months.

Section 33 is amended. Subsection (2) (

c) of this

section presently enables the Board to prohibit the employment of a pregnant woman on night shifts during her pregnancy. The effect of the amendment will be to enable the Board to prohibit the employment of such a woman on night shifts for two months after delivery. Subsection (2) (

e) of this

section is also amended. This subsection enables the Board to require certain classes of employers to retain the services of a qualified first aid attendant. The effect .of the amend ment is to make the subsection applicable to an employer who operates an industry in an isolated area irrespective of the number of his employees.

Section 34 is amended to provide that no child shall be employed in any employment other than that covered by the present

section \vithout the consent of the Board. Four new subsections are added to

section 43. The new subsection (2) provides that for the purpose of computing holidays with pay where a business is sold the employment shall be deemed to have been continuous and uninterrupted by the sale. Subsection (3) provides that an employer who violates an order of the Board by failing to give his emp loyees holidays with pay is guilty of an offence and liable to a penalty.

Subsection (4) provides that the magistrate before whom an employer is c.onvicted under subsection (3) Rhall order the employer to give holidays with pay to the em ployee within such time as may be fixed by the court or if the employment has terminated, to pay to the empl~yee the moneys to which he is entitled in lieu of holidays with pay. Subsection (5) provides that if the employer fails to pay the .sum ordered to be paid by the court in lieu of hohdays With ~ay or fails to give the holidays with pay -ordered to be given ·by the court the employer is guilty of an offence and liable to imprisonment.

b) in their stead. The new definition of Hschedule" includes holidays with pay .

Section 47 is amended by including holidays with pay in the subjects to be negotiated between employer and employees in an industry.

Section 48 is amended. It provides for the formulation of certain schedules at a conference between employers and employees. The amendment enables such a conference to formulate a

schedule establishing a plan for holidays with pay.

Section 49 is amended. This

section provides that if' a

schedule is agreed upon by employers and employees it may be declared in force by the Lieutenant Governor in Council. The effect of the amendment is that the

schedule is to be agreed upon by a proper and sufficient representatioil of a majority of the employers and employees before it can be declared in force by the Lieutenant Governor in Council. The proviso to this

section states that employers or emp loyees may apply to have a

schedule amended Qr rescinded after it has been in force for twelve months. This is also amended so that the application for rescission or amendment of the

schedule may be made after ten months but the amend ment or revocation will not be effective until after twelve months. The reference to wages and hours of labour in the

section are struck out because they' are now included in the new definition of "schedule".

Section 55 is amended. The amendment provides that the holidays with pay prescribed by any

schedule shall not be less favourable to the employees than the provisions of this Act or of any orders or regulations made under the Act.

Section 57 is amended by substit~ting a new definition of the term "bargaining agent" and by adding a new defi nition of the term "employee". Excluded from the definition of the term' 'employee" are persons employed in a manager ial or supervisory capacity and professional men who are employed. The definition of "trade union" is also amended to exclude employer-dominated organizations. Subsection (2) of

section 57 is struck out and a new subsection sub stituted. This subsection has been merely reworded for purposes of clarification of its present intention.

Section 59 is amended. The reference to the Minister is deleted from several of the subsections. The effect of this is that an application for certification as a bargaining agent will be received and dealt with by the Board. A new sub

section is added to

section 59 between the present subsec tions (9) and (10). This subsection provides that a trade union which is influenced or dominated by an employer shall -110t be certified as a bargaining agent and that an agreement -entered into by it shall not be deemed to be a collective agreement for the purposes of this Part.

Section 60 isamend.ed by the addition of 11 new ~ubseetion (8lz.) -ml1uedjately following 'subse,ction (8). ThlSS~~C tion provides that if an employer is an extra. provlneml c-ompany whose board of directors does not meet in the Prov ince the company shall appoint a pers,on resident in the Province with authority to bargain collectively and to cC?n elude a collective agreement on its behalf. Such a collectIve agreement is binding on the company and the company is guilty of an offence jf it fails to appoint a person in accord ance 'with this subsection. A new secUon 61a is add~d immediately Rfter

section 61. The

section provides that where a business is sold-the purchaser is bound by all proceedings under

Part V of the Act relating to collective bargaining, conciliation and arbi tratioll. If a bargaining agent w'as certified the certification remains in effect .and if a collective agreement was in force the agreement continues to bind the purchaser as if it had been signed by him. A new sectio-n is added after

section 64. This

section pro vides that no employer shall deny to any employee pension rights to which he would otherwise -be entitled by reasons only of his participating in a legal strike or loek-:out or by reason only of his dismissal contrary to the provisi ons of this Act. '

Section 71 is struck out and a new

section is substituted. The 'section requires the Conciliation Commissioner to trans mit his report to the Board within the tim~ limited by the terms of his appointment not exceeding fourteen days or within such longer tim€as may be una-nimously agrood to by all the parties. In his report he is required to set out the 'matters upon which the parties hav€ agreed and the matters -u;poo. which they cannot agree ,together 'with "his recommendations both on the matters in dispute and on the advisability of appointing a Board of Arbitration.

Under ·subsection (2) it is man datoryat present for the award of the Conciliation Com missioner to ,be retroaetive to the date ,of the application for ~his appointment--or f.Q1' theinterventi{)n -of the -Minister, as the case -maybe.
