The Law Society of Ontario is holding its Workplace Investigations 2026 webcast on Tuesday, November 10, 2026. The program is approved for LAWPRO’s Risk Management credit.

O’Neill Associates Partner Hayley Yorke will present “Investigations in Federal Jurisdiction” with Mihad Fahmy. They will discuss practical considerations in workplace investigations under the Canada Labour Code (CLC), including how its preventative approach and procedural requirements can differ from provincial processes. The presentation will address jurisdictional questions that may arise when working with First Nation employers. Hayley and Mihad will consider how CLC requirements may shape an investigation’s scope and report, including the distinction between a report prepared for statutory compliance and a more comprehensive report, and the importance of understanding who will receive it.

The session will also flag First Nation-specific planning considerations, such as confidentiality and anonymity in small communities and the importance of community context. Cultural safety, privacy, credibility assessments, and culturally appropriate remedies may require further learning and care; investigators should be mindful of the limits of their expertise and qualifications.
