Federal Government

Federal Budget Dept: What hasnt been revealed ahead of Thursday's budget date, however, is how exactly that matching and funding will be implemented, according to CTV. Are we seeing the kind of employment outcomes that we expected to see? What is the degree of accountability? Finance Minister Jim Flaherty said earlier this month at a news conference, hinting that the government was not impressed with the results of the funding and The federal government has dropped strong hints that the upcoming federal budget will place greater emphasis on matching young Canadians skills with openings in the job market -- a bid to more efficiently fill labour gaps across the country while at the same time encouraging lower unemployment rates for those just starting their careers. With a youth unemployment rate in the range of 15 per cent, and an austerity budget in the works that offers little in the way of new programs, the government has indicated it will likely change the rules for provinces on an existing jobs skills program. The Conservative government currently gives the provinces $2.5 billion annually to train skilled workers, with little direction on how thatis spent. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
