Quebecs Workers Memorial Day marks a rise in job-related fatalities, with 257 deaths in 2025, up from 246 the previous year. The majority of these deaths were due to occupational diseases and accidents, with healthcare, manufacturing, and construction leading in injuries. Labour Minister Jean Boulet acknowledges progress but emphasizes the need for prevention to become a daily culture. Unions criticize the government for lagging on safety tools and a new bill that cuts full-time safety reps, arguing it increases risks and endangers lives. The debate intensifies as stakeholders push for genuine solutions to protect workers.
