Even before this law, non-competes in Ontario were mostly an intimidation tactic. I'm not entirely sure if this change does anything, since it appears that employers can still put in a non-compete agreement (which is void, but still works as an intimidation tactic). The only thing here that I can see the benefit of, is that the news coverage of non-competes being void, will make more employees aware that they're void.
