đź‘ŹA positive step to connect young workers with real experience at a time when youth employment challenges are rising across Canada.
It aligns with CFIB research on the value of work-integrated learning, apprenticeships, & removing barriers so small firms can hire/train youth.

The key will be making sure the program is simple, accessible, and works for the employers expected to deliver it—especially small businesses on the ground.

Yesterday, I joined @GlobalWinnipeg to discuss why Manitoba entrepreneurs are concerned about the possibility of employer-paid sick days.
Businesses want clarity & consultation, & they need government to understand the added costs new labour mandates could place on small firms.
Small businesses are worried over a potential policy which would make them pay for five sick days a year.

Businesses understand the need for roadwork. No one questions the need to fix roads, water lines and aging infrastructure. But year after year, small businesses feel they are the last to know and first to pay the price — and the costs are significant. cfib-fcei.ca/en/research-eco…
