EXPLANATORY NOTE

Currently, the Ontario College of Trades and Apprenticeship Act, 2009 includes a section that is not in force that would prohibit a person from employing journeypersons or sponsoring or employing apprentices unless the person is a member of the College. The Bill repeals that section and related provisions. The Bill also eliminates the class of membership for persons who employ journeypersons or who sponsor or employ apprentices.
