The legislation, formerly known as Bill C-69, was reviled in the oil-and-gas producing province, where industry leaders saw it as a roadblock to infrastructure development.

The Independent Contractors and Businesses Association says it is thrilled by the ruling, calling it an"unequivocal victory for Canada's economy and workers."
