Ban Non-Compete Clauses

A Nova Scotia Liberal government will ban the use of Non-Compete Clauses to attract workers in high-growth sectors, including the technology industry. This will encourage competitiveness and innovation by prohibiting unfair non-competes, which are used to restrict work opportunities and suppress salary increases. In 2021, the province of Ontario became the first Canadian province to prohibit employers from entering into employment contracts or other agreements with an employee that include a non-compete agreement.

Cost estimate: No additional spending required.
