Quebec has decided to ban the sale of energy drinks for kids and teens under 16 due to harmful effects caffeine can have on young Canadians.
Some teens in Quebec may have a harder time staying up to study for exams next year, but their government says it’s for the best.
On June 11, Quebec became the first province in Canada to ban the sale of energy drinks for those under 16 due to harmful effects the drinks can have on young people.
Bill 9, which comes into effect in six months, means that shop owners will have to ask for ID when selling classic drinks like Red Bull and Monster.
“UNA has instructed its legal counsel to launch a legal challenge of this breach of the contract and violation of its members’ Charter rights through the courts.”
The union representing Alberta’s nurses has instructed its legal team to launch a legal challenge of the United Conservative government’s Bill 9, arguing it’s a breach of contract and in violation of nurses’ Charter rights.
Bill 9 imposes a delay on wage talks for unionized workers who took pay freezes in the first years of their contracts, but had the right to reopen pay negotiations this year — with arbitration if needed.
The government says the delay is only until November, but unions and the NDP predict arbitration will never take place and the government will begin imposing wage cuts as early as this fall.
The Public Sector Wage Arbitration Deferral Act passed third reading on June 19, despite heated debate through the night and the NDP doing “all it could” to fight the bill.
Nurses joined other public sector workers in the gallery at the legislature during Question Period on June 20 to “demonstrate their displeasure with the violation of their rights,” the United Nurses of Alberta (UNA) said in a news release Friday.
