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
