Canada: Controversial Program

controversial program: While some dispute the government's insistence that the controversial program is needed to address a serious skills shortage in Canada, those on the front lines beg to differ and they're fully supportive of the government's original proposals to combat the problem, according to Huffington Post. "Rumours are that they may give in to the provinces, and I hope those rumours are wrong, because if they do, they won't gain much and the problem will persist." OTTAWA - Businesses hungry for skilled Canadian workers say they will be intently watching the upcoming federal budget, nervous that the Conservative government will water down its Canada Job Grant amid provincial and territorial opposition. "They introduced what seemed to us to be a very good program in the last budget," said Serge Buy, head of the National Association of Career Colleges, which represents an array of schools across the country that provide training in sectors with skilled worker shortages.
