The Public Service Labour Relations Board (French: Commission des relations de travail dans la fonction publique) is a Canadian independent quasi-judicial statutory tribunal that is responsible for administering the collective bargaining and grievance adjudication systems in the federal public service and in Parliament. By agreement with the Government of the Yukon, the Board also administers the collective bargaining and grievance adjudication systems under the following statutes:
- Yukon Education Staff Relations Act
- Yukon Public Service Staff Relations Act
Presently the Board reports to Parliament through the Minister of Canadian Heritage.
A new Public Service Labour Relations Act was passed by Parliament in 2003 (S.C. 2003, c.22) and came into force on April 1, 2005.

I talked with one of them, telling him that I had come all this distance partly to see where the white pine, the Eastern stuff of which our houses are built, grew, but that on this and a previous excursion into another part of Maine I had found it a scarce tree; and I asked him where I must look for it. With a smile, he answered that he could hardly tell me.”
