The Protecting a Sustainable Public Sector for Future Generations Act (Bill 124, 2019; French: Loi visant à préserver la viabilité du secteur public pour les générations futures) is a law in the province of Ontario limiting public sector salary increases to one per cent for each of the next three years. After a legal challenge from unions, it was struck down as unconstitutional in November 2022 by the Ontario Superior Court of Justice, a decision upheld by the Court of Appeal for Ontario in February 2024.
