Bill 139 Receives Royal Assent

I have mentioned a number of time the Ontario Liberal governments commitment to protecting temporary agency workers and more recently here. Bill 139 has now received Royal Assent.

I saw that this is not an issue that is unique to this country.  It is currently under review in the U.K. (Government consults on Temporary Agency Workers Directive).  See the Department for Business, Enterprise & Regulatory Reform Employment agencies. Implementation of the Agency Workers Directive: a consultation paper.
