The Minister of Labour for Canada has announced Proposed Regulations under the Canada Labour Code.
If adopted, employers will have to, among other things:
- Provide menstrual products, including clean and hygienic tampons and menstrual pads, in each toilet room or, if that is not possible, in another location in the workplace controlled by the employer that is accessible by employees at all times and offers a reasonable amount of privacy.
- Provide a covered container for the disposal of menstrual products.
