List of federally regulated companies in Canada (2024)

What is a federally regulated company?

A federally regulated company is a business that is governed by Canada’s federal laws. These laws are collectively called the Canada Labour Code (CLC), enacted by the Constitution Act, 1867. The CLC establishes basic rights and responsibilities for employees and employers, including wages, health and safety laws, and statutory holidays.

How many employees are federally regulated?

Only about 6% of workers in Canada are federally regulated.

While various industries are federally regulated (including banks, airports, broadcasters, fisheries, and interprovincial/international transportation), most employees in Canada work for provincially regulated businesses; they are ultimately governed by legislation administered by the province they work in.

List of federally regulated companies and employers

While no level of government keeps an official list of federally regulated employers, certain departments within the federal government keep lists of large employers that fall under this designation.

For instance, the Legislated Employment Equity Program (the LEEP) generates an annual list of all federally regulated companies that boast over 100 employees.

Here is the latest list of businesses that fall under the federally regulated category:
