An Act to restrain the Government of Canada’s expenditures in relation to employment

SHORT TITLE

1. This Act may be cited as the Expenditure Restraint Act.

INTERPRETATION

2. The following definitions apply in this Act.

“additional remuneration” means any allowance, bonus, differential or premium or any payment to employees that is similar to any of those payments.

“arbitral award” means an arbitral award governing employees to whom this Act applies.

“bargaining agent” has the same meaning

(a) as in subsection 3(1) of the Canada Labour Code, in relation to employees to whom Part I of that Act applies;

(b) as in section 3 of the Parliamentary Employment and Staff Relations Act, in relation to employees to whom that Act applies; and

(c) as in subsection 2(1) of the Public Service Labour Relations Act, in relation to employees to whom that Act applies.

“collective agreement” means a collective agreement governing employees to whom this Act applies.

“Her Majesty” means Her Majesty in right of Canada.

“National Joint Council” has the same meaning as in subsection 4(1) of the Public Service Labour Relations Act.

“rate of pay” means a base rate of pay, whether expressed as a single rate of pay or a range of rates of pay — or, if no such rate or range exists, any fixed or ascertainable amount of base pay — but does not include any additional remuneration.

“restraint period” means the period that begins on April 1, 2006 and ends on March 31, 2011.

3. For the purpose of this Act, any lump sum that an employer is required by an arbitral award to pay to employees is deemed to be a bonus.

4. Any reference in this Act to additional remuneration does not include any additional remuneration that is provided for by a directive, policy, regulation, agreement or other instrument issued or made

(a) on the recommendation of the National Joint Council and with the employer’s approval; or

(b) unilaterally by an employer in respect of a subject matter that, in the opinion of the Treasury Board, is the same as or is related to the subject matter of any instrument made in accordance with paragraph (a).

5. (1) For the purpose of this Act, a collective agreement is deemed to have been entered into before December 8, 2008 if it was actually entered into on or after that date but its parties had, before that date, agreed in writing to enter into it with effect on the expiry of a previous collective agreement and they entered into it without alteration.

(2) If subsection (1) applies in respect of a collective agreement and terms and conditions of employment were established on or after December 8, 2008, the provisions of those terms and conditions of employment that are identical in all material respects to those of the collective agreement and that are applicable to non-represented and excluded employees that normally have terms and conditions of employment that are similar to those of the employees governed by the collective agreement are, for the purposes of this Act, deemed to have been made before December 8, 2008.

EFFECTS OF ACT

6. Subject to the other provisions of this Act, the right to bargain collectively under the Canada Labour Code, the Parliamentary Employment and Staff Relations Act and the Public Service Labour Relations Act is continued.

7. Nothing in this Act affects the right to strike under the Canada Labour Code or the Public Service Labour Relations Act.

8. Nothing in this Act precludes the bargaining agent for employees governed by a collective agreement or arbitral award and the employer of those employees from amending, by agreement in writing, any provision of the collective agreement or arbitral award, other than a provision relating to its term, so long as the amendment is not contrary to any provision of this Act.

9. Nothing in this Act precludes the co-development of workplace improvements by bargaining agents and employers under the auspices of the National Joint Council or any other body that they may agree on.

10. Nothing in this Act is to be construed as precluding the entitlement of any employee to incremental increases — including any based on the attainment of further qualifications or the acquisition of further skills — or to merit or performance increases, in-range increases, performance bonuses or similar forms of compensation.

11. In the event of a conflict between a provision of this Act and a provision of any other Act of Parliament, including a provision in Part X of the Financial Administration Act, the provision of this Act prevails to the extent of the conflict, unless the other Act expressly declares that it or any of its provisions apply despite this Act.
