Feds’ consultations on sex harassment, violence in workplace underway
TORONTO — Canadians who want to offer the federal government their views on, or share their experiences about, sexual harassment or violence in the workplace have one more week to fill in an online survey on the topics.
Launched on Valentine’s Day, the anonymous consultation runs until March 3.
The survey is aimed at giving the government public feedback as it considers ways of tackling the problems in workplaces that fall under federal jurisdiction — roughly six per cent of Canada’s workforce — through possible amendments to the Canada Labour Code.
“Gathering the views of Canadians will help the government understand the prevalence and types of behaviours linked to harassment and violence that Canadians experience in their workplaces,” the government said in a statement announcing the survey.
