Canadian - Do switches near a sink require GFCI protection?

 Hi peeps, canadian here, help me settle a debate.  Do switches near a sink require GFCI protection?  I took a  couple year break and when I came back to work I'm pretty sure my boss had said code changed and switches within 1.5m of a sink need to be protected.  The other journeyman thinks that rule only applies to tubs and showers, and though we do protected the switches as a company standard,  he thinks it's unnecessary.  I have looked through the code book and can't find any rules to back me up, so am I wrong or just looking at the wrong spot?  

 If course I can just ask my boss, but where's the fun in that?
