- GATINEAU, QC, Feb. 20, 2024 /CNW/ - The Honourable Seamus O'Regan Jr., Minister of Labour, today issued the following statement for World Day of Social Justice:
"Canada joined countries around the world to ratify International Labour Organization (ILO) Convention 190 just over a year ago, because no one should face violence or harassment on the job. - I am proud to say that Canada has now joined the Global Coalition for Social Justice, spearheaded by the ILO.
- The Coalition is built on this fundamental tenet: that when we leave one person or one group of people behind, we endanger everyone.
- By joining the Coalition, Canada also reaffirms its commitment to the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development adopted by the United Nations.
