Proposed legislation drops ‘unfair and unnecessary’ work requirements, minister says
New legislation tabled in B.C. promises to increase the supply of workers in 29 professions, including high demand ones such as engineers, teachers, childcare workers, paramedics and veterinarians.
Mercier said about 60 to 70 per cent of the one million job openings will come from retirements, as the proportion of British Columbians over age 65 continues to grow. The tabled legislation removes “unfair and unnecessary” Canadian work experience and “excessive and expansive” language requirements. Other aspects of the legislation, which is scheduled to come into force in the summer of 2024, will create a new superintendent responsible for promoting fair credential recognition, establish maximum limit caps for recognizing foreign credentials and make credential assessment information available online.RELATED: Amid a chronic shortage, B.C.
