Jobs Minister Patty Hajdu said a federal probe into allegations of unpaid work in Canada’s airline sector will conclude by early December, with government consultations and two stakeholder roundtables planned. She warned the inquiry could prompt new legislation; the probe was launched amid the Air Canada cabin crew dispute.

Briefing
The minister set a firm timeline and signalled legislative consequences: the probe is to wrap by early December and "could prompt new legislation," making regulatory change a near-term possibility.
The inquiry was opened amid the broader Air Canada labour crisis, including the walkout that grounded much of the carrier, linking the probe directly to recent operational disruption and bargaining disputes (see the walkout that grounded the network).
Recent bargaining developments are core context: a tentative deal that recognised pay for previously unpaid ground tasks was negotiated but remains unratified, and flight attendants later overwhelmingly rejected a tentative wage pact, sending talks into mediation (recognition of pay for ground work; 99.1% rejection vote).
