On May 25, 2023, Ms. Geneviève Guilbault, Quebec’s Minister of Transport and Sustainable Mobility, tabled Bill 22, An Act respecting expropriation, which was adopted and came into force on December 29, 2023 (the “New Act”). It replaces in its entirety the Expropriation Act (CQLR, c. E-24) (the “Old Act”).
In this matter, the Canadian Union of Public Employees (the “Union”), which represents bus drivers and related services employees employed by the Réseau de transport de Longueuil (the “Employer”), alleged, through a group grievance, that a provision of the collective agreement concerning the granting of attendance credits discriminated against employees who had taken maternity leave, paternity leave or parental leave.

We are pleased to announce that three newly called lawyers are joining the firm: Samuel Gendron and Alexis Pineault in the Québec City office and Thomas Stelmazuk-Côté in the Montréal office.
