With the help of our loyal supporters and research associates, we continue to raise debate and propose policy alternatives that will get us closer to a achieving a more economically and socially just—as well as environmentally sustainable—province and Atlantic region.

Watch this video of CCPA-Nova Scotia's roundtable on the Ivany Report, in which we present our critique of the report, and participants discuss what's at stake, the public interest and Nova Scotia's "new economy."
This report examines how Nova Scotia’s protections for workers compared to other provinces and territories in Canada. On the whole, Nova Scotia falls well short on the most important and far-reaching of the Labour Standards Code’s provisions: standard hours of work, overtime provisions, vacation, minimum wage and statutory holidays. When one factors in the fact that Nova Scotia exempts workers in a long list of occupations and industries from enjoying even these watered-down protections, this report concludes that workers in Nova Scotia are denied many of the protections other Canadian workers enjoy.
The report makes several recommendations for how Nova Scotia’s Labour Standards Code could be strengthened.
