Immigration Minister and Corner Brook MHA Gerry Byrne is raising concerns about what he calls is a worrisome move by Ottawa. He says the feds have indicated that they will administer Workforce Development Funding across the country, not the provincial government. Byrne says they’re also cutting $625 million a year in funding.
