Amend the *Canada Labour Code* to allow workers to formally request flexible work arrangements.

What success looks like

Federally regulated workers are now able to request flexible work arrangements.

Government's narrative on progress

Budget 2017 aims to give federally regulated workers the right to request flexible work arrangements from their employer, such as flexible start and finish times and the ability to work from home. Changes will also provide federally regulated workers with new unpaid leave for family responsibilities, to participate in traditional Indigenous practices, and to seek care if they are victims of family violence. Changes will also make bereavement leave more flexible. Legislation to implement these changes was tabled in Parliament on October 27, 2017, as part of the *Budget Implementation Act*, 2017, No. 2, and received Royal Assent on December 14, 2017. The legislation will come into force once enabling regulations are complete.
