Provincial and Territorial Involvement in Labour Cooperation Agreements
Labour Cooperation Agreements (LCAs) that Canada signs with its international trading partners respect the provinces ' and territories ' jurisdictional responsibility in the area of labour. Federal, provincial and territorial governments have developed a concrete set of practices for provincial and territorial participation in the negotiation of LCAs, as well as a shared understanding of the objectives that Canada will pursue in negotiating these. Canadian intergovernmental agreements have also been developed to provide for a mechanism by which provinces and territories can participate in the implementation of Canada's LCAs.
