Donation .$2.00, Mrs. Trewar- tha. — I ! I Hansard Extract JUNE 11, 1941 Hon. N. A. McLarty (Minister of Labor) Mr. Speaker, it is felt desirable that all persons who have left em- ployment to enlist should, in so far as possible, be relieved of worry about their reinstatement on their return. The government accordingly has ap- proved of the principle of legislation to provide for civil employment rein- statement of those who have enlisted in His Majesty's forces during the war. • When the house re -convenes' the government will submit this leg- islation for the approval of parliament It will provide -that employers of those who enlist for service in His Majesty's forces shall reinstate the employees in employment at the term- ination of that service in so for as practical, under conditions not less favourable to the employee than those which would have been available to him had he not enlisted. 2. Conditions will necessarily be contained in the Bill which will re- lieve. the employer, under certain cir- cumstances, of his obligation to re- emnploy as, for example, if the em- ployee fails to apply for such rein- statement within a given period after discharge or demobilization, or hav- ing awing been -offered reinstatement by the employer, the former employee, fails to present himnself for employment. 3. The legislation will be generally modelled on legislation existing in Great Britain as to its terms and con- ditions but will be subject, of course, to the -necessary variation in indus- trial conditions between the two coun- tries. ' 4. The Draft Bili has been suppor- ted by the Labour Co-ordination Com- mittee, the National Labour Supply Council and the Committee on Em- ployment of the General Advisory Committee 'of Demobilization and Re- habitation.
