A government health and safety officer had conducted a proactive investigation into whether federal law should govern labour relations
THUNDER BAY — The Federal Court of Canada has ruled Confederation College's Aviation Centre of Excellence is not subject to federal labour jurisdiction under the Canada Labour Code.
The officer's investigation was not conducted because of a complaint or occurrence in the workplace, but was launched proactively. ACE is operated by the college's School of Engineering, Technology, Trades and Aviation, and offers two full-time diploma programs – Aviation Flight Management and Aviation Technician-Aircraft Maintenance.
Education falls under provincial jurisdiction, but the Canada Labour Code states that a federal workplace, undertaking or business includes "aerodromes, aircraft or a line of air transportation." She also noted the officer himself recognized that ACE aircraft are not used for charter flights or for any other form of transportation.
