Section 111.23 Disposition versions

2016-01-01

111.23. For the purposes of Chapters II and III, a logging operator is deemed to be the employer of all the employees assigned to logging operations involving the volumes of standing timber that the logging operator purchased under the timber supply guarantee or, in the case of a forest producer that supplies a wood processing plant from a private woodlot, all employees assigned to logging operations on that woodlot.

Despite the first paragraph, where two or more holders of a timber supply guarantee must conclude an integration agreement under section 103.7 of the Sustainable Forest Development Act (chapter A-18.1), they must identify, by an accord and within the time period fixed by the Minister of Natural Resources and Wildlife to prove the existence of the integration agreement, the deemed employer or employers, for the purposes of Chapters II and III, of the employees assigned to logging operations involving the volumes of standing timber which the guarantee holders purchased under their respective supply guarantees for the forest operations zones covered by the integration agreement. To that end, they may allocate responsibilities by specific forest operations zones or by the logging operations for which they assume responsibility, as long as each employee is able to identify his deemed employer. In all cases, the deemed employer may be one of the guarantee holders designated to carry out the harvest, a group comprising some or all of the guarantee holders concerned, or an employers’ association.

The accord referred to in the second paragraph must be sent, within the same time period, to the Minister of Natural Resources and Wildlife, the Minister of Labour, and the Tribunal. If the guarantee holders fail to reach such an accord or fail to send it to the proper authorities on time, the Minister of Natural Resources and Wildlife informs the Minister of Labour of the fact, who in turn submits the matter to the Tribunal so that it may designate a deemed employer after allowing the guarantee holders to make observations, in accordance with the procedure required by the Tribunal.

This section does not apply where it is not the logging operator who harvests the standing timber purchased, in accordance with section 103.5 or subparagraph 2 of the third paragraph of section 103.7 of the Sustainable Forest Development Act. Neither does it apply to employees who are members of a cooperative that carries out logging operations.
