With the Government of Canada’s decision to cut $625 million in jobs funding nation-wide, almost 200,000 fewer people will be served across the country.
Federal government cuts have led to the suspension of the Canada-Newfoundland and Labrador Job Grant program. This means more than $16.8 million in funding has been reduced for this province. With the Government of Canada’s decision to cut $625 million in jobs funding nation-wide, almost 200,000 fewer people will be served across the country. As a result of this federal decision, the Canada-Newfoundland and Labrador Job Grant for employers and workers is suspended until further notice. Immigration, Population Growth and Skills Minister Gerry Byrne says, “This painful decision to suspend the Canada-Newfoundland and Labrador Job Grant still leaves more than a $15 million shortfall for Newfoundland and Labrador to grapple with, and the status of many other employment programs in question, unless the federal cuts to Labour Market Transfer Agreements are reversed. Across Canada, Provincial and Territorial governments are also grappling to make difficult cuts to much-needed funding that provides employment supports across a variety of groups, including persons with autism, Indigenous groups and persons with disabilities.”
