All federally regulated employers in Canada 🇨🇦 are now required to stock free feminine hygiene products such as tampons and menstrual pads in all male restrooms — including airports and military bases.
The new regulations, which went into effect earlier this month under Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s left-wing administration, specify that menstrual products must be in “all toilet rooms, regardless of their marked genders,” according to Canada’s Employment and Social Development website.
“This means that every female-identified, male-identified and all-gender toilet rooms will need to have menstrual products,” the website says, noting that the availability of these items “better protects menstruating employees and makes sure that they feel safe to use the toilet room that best reflects their gender.”
