Job Grant: Jason Kenney

Jason Kenney: Officials from emissary provinces New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island and British Columbia will meet with Kenney in Toronto after all the provinces and territories agreed to the terms of the counter-proposal last week, according to Huffington Post. But an official close to the talks says the provinces are seeking flexibility in funding that goes well beyond what Kenney offered them in a revised Job Grant proposal in late December. The Canada Job Grant is slated to take effect on April 1 and The provinces are poised to present federal Employment Minister Jason Kenney with a counter-offer to his Canada Job Grant proposals on Tuesday, but there's scant indication that any deal with the feds is imminent. They're united on measures that would give them more leeway in how they fund the program. The provincial proposals would also make it less financially onerous for small businesses to participate in the Canada Job Grant. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
