A federal petition calls on Parliament to amend the Canadian Human Rights Act so volunteers, interns, trainees, and other unpaid individuals working under federal jurisdiction are explicitly protected from discrimination and harassment.

Subject: Invitation to support a federal petition to protect unpaid workers under federal jurisdiction
Dear Members,
We are sharing an important federal petition that concerns unpaid individuals working under federal jurisdiction — including national political associations, federal agencies, tribunals, and other federally regulated sectors.
Many volunteers, interns, trainees, and co-op students contribute essential work in these settings but are not clearly protected under the Canadian Human Rights Act.
This petition asks Parliament to amend the Act so unpaid workers receive the same fundamental protections as paid employees.
