Territorial Counterparts and Provinces and Territories

provinces and territories: Federal Employment Minister Jason Kenney sent a final counterproposal to his provinces and territorial counterparts on Friday that addresses the primary obstacles to an agreement, according to The Star. That means, essentially, that the provinces and territories can use whatever federal funds they choose to or their own in order to participate in the program. They had railed against being forced to use money from so-called labour market agreements, the federal cash they insist successfully provides job training to their most marginalized citizens and The federal government has agreed to two key demands from the provinces and territories on its contentious Canada Job Grant that could pave the way for a deal on the national job training program. The offer, obtained by The Canadian Press, states that the federal government agrees with the main request by provinces and territories in their most recent offer and will allow maximum flexibility in the source of funding for the program.
