Convention (n° 144) sur les consultations tripartites relatives aux normes internationales du travail, 1976 - Canada (Ratification: 2011)

Tripartite consultations required by the Convention. The Committee notes the Government’s first report on the application of the Convention received in August 2013. The Government indicates that the provisions of the Convention are applied in practice through consultations undertaken by the Labour Program of Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC) on the matters covered in Article 5(1) of the Convention. It further indicates that it consults with the social partners with respect to unratified Conventions and, in this regard, consultations on the Labour Inspection Convention, 1947 (No. 81), and the Minimum Age Convention, 1973 (No. 138), are ongoing. The Committee invites the Government to provide in its next report information on the content and outcome of the consultations held on the matters concerning international labour standards covered by Article 5(1) of the Convention, including consultations on the re-examination of unratified fundamental Conventions, such as Convention No. 138, and governance Conventions, such as Convention No. 81.
