Subject Matter Details
Policies or Program
- Apprenticeship Training
- Redesign existing federal programs (i.e. EI-funded training programs) to provide more robust financial support to employers engaged in apprenticeship training
- Continue to exercise federal leadership in driving the harmonization of provincial and territorial apprenticeship training standards.
- Infrastructure
- Adopt the five recommendations included in the recent report by the Canadian Chamber of Commerce entitled The Infrastructure That Matters Most: The Need for Investment in Canada’s Trade Infrastructure.
- Labour Mobility
- Change EI policy to permit unemployed construction workers to obtain an advance from their approved benefits of up to $2,000 to support their employment searches outside their local area construction market.
- Taxation
- Increase the permissible depreciation rate for Class 38 assets from 30 to 50 per cent, which will better align depreciation policy with the productive life of these assets, improve overall construction sector productivity, and potentially lower infrastructure development costs for governments across Canada.
