The Canadian government and airport authorities can do more to ensure airports and aviation workplaces offer better and safer working conditions.

The federal government needs to replace its current fleet of CP-140 Aurora aircraft. This need led to the creation of the Canadian Multi-Mission Aircraft (CMMA) project, an open bid process that would invite aerospace manufacturers, including those in Canada, to participate. Now, the federal government appears to be heading towards awarding a sole-source contract to buy the Boeing P-8 Poseidon aircraft rather than following plans that would allow Canada's aerospace industry to participate in the project. It's time to send a message to the federal government that Canadian aerospace workers want procurement policies that are fair and support Canada's domestic aerospace industry.

In 2023, Quebec experienced forest fires of historic proportions across its territory. A total of 564 fires destroyed nearly 1.3 million hectares of productive forest land.

Paying a driver a “safe rate” means they are paid fairly for all labour time and can make enough to take care of family and take appropriate breaks and time off, enabling them to be alert and focused while driving. If a driver owns their own vehicle, a safe rate must be calculated that covers the costs of purchasing, maintaining, and operating it. Safe Rates systems legally obligate the companies at the top of road transport supply chains to enforce these rates and can be found around the world including in Canada, Australia, South Korea, and Brazil.
