Spring Election Dept: There was "absolutely nothing" to boost job creation in Ottawa's $279-billion spending plan, said Finance Minister Dwight Duncan, according to CTV.

Ontario was also shortchanged on unemployment benefits, skills retraining and immigrant settlement policies compared to other provinces, he said. His calls for a modest improvement to the Canada Pension Plan also went unanswered. As reported in the news.
