Lhe council of ministers adopted, Tuesday afternoon, in Quebec, the repeal of the decree on hairdressers in the Outaouais region. The Minister of Labor, Employment and Social Solidarity, Jean Boulet, is due to make the official announcement later today in a press release. The repeal will come into force on July 15.
The repeal of the decree will have the effect of eliminating the minimum prices for hairdressing services in the region, the framing of the opening hours of salons, as well as the rules relating to the commission paid to hairdressers and assistant hairdressers. The measure targets 694 workers.
The subject, very polarizing in the hairdressing industry in the Outaouais, has been the subject of discussions since 2015. It was the third time that this old protectionist decree implemented during the Great Crisis was the subject of ” a repeal procedure, but the bills died on the order paper in the 2018 elections.
“We are taking action,” launched Minister Boulet. It has been 25 years since the 14 other hairdressing decrees in Quebec were abolished. Although the collective agreement decrees are relevant to protect the working conditions of employees in certain sectors, that of the Outaouais region was no longer adequate, due to the proximity to Ontario. ”
