Hours after the Appeal Court ruling, the government announced the repeal of Bill 124, as labor advocates and opposition critics had long demanded. The law, introduced by the Progressive Conservatives, aimed to assist in deficit reduction but prompted concerns about driving nurses out of the profession.
The law applied to various workers, including teachers and nurses, constraining their pay increases during the challenging times of the COVID-19 pandemic. The decision to repeal Bill 124 through an order in council marks the end of a contentious chapter in Ontario's public sector wage policies.
