Québec was finally headed for sensible legislation that would have obliged every workplace, without exception, to adopt prevention mechanisms. But the bill on labour relations (Bill 101) is now turning everything upside down, creating a two-track system that minimizes the prevention obligations of institutions providing health care, social services, and education.
