We learned today from the Honourable Seamus O’Regan that he has resigned, effective immediately, as Minister of Labour and will not be running in the next federal election. On behalf of ALPA Canada I wish to recognize Minister O’Regan for his years of public service and acknowledge the efforts of he and his staff while working collaboratively with ALPA Canada to ensure the inclusion of ALPA Canada’s input on Bill C-58 - An Act to amend the Canada Labour Code and the Canada Industrial Relations Board Regulations. We look forward to the appointment of the new Minister of Labour, expected tomorrow, and rest assured I will be reaching out immediately to ensure ALPA Canada establishes a solid working relationship with the new Minister and to make our priorities known. In unity, Tim Perry—ALPA Canada President
