An Act to amend the Canada Labour Code (menstrual products)

Bill C-307 was an NDP Private Member's Bill amending the Canada Labour Code (R.S.C. 1985, c. L-2) to require federally regulated employers to provide free menstrual products in all workplace washrooms. Brought after several provincial frameworks: BC (mandatory in K-12 schools 2020), Manitoba (mandatory in workplaces 2024), and PEI (mandatory in K-12 schools 2023). The bill would have applied to federally regulated industries (banking, telecoms, interprovincial transport, federal public service) employing approximately 6 percent of Canadian workers. The 2024 federal Bill C-50 (Sustainable Jobs Act, S.C. 2024, c. 19) addressed related workplace-equity issues. C-307 did not pass third reading; the federal-jurisdiction free-menstrual-products framework was delivered via Treasury Board policy effective December 15, 2023.
