- Reducing the GST from 7% to 6% and now, to 5%.
- Providing $1,200 per year, per child under six, that parents can spend on their own child care priorities.
- Giving Canadians tax credits for money spent on transit passes, textbooks and kids’ sports.
- Strengthening Canada’s product safety laws, including the first ever federal mandatory recall law, and new rules for what can be called a “product of Canada”.

Canada Summer
Jobs 2013
Twitter Link: http://goo.gl/H5dGn
Today, May 11, 2013 the Harper Government announced the creation of
36,000 jobs for Canadian youth through the Canada Summer Jobs initiative.
- The Harper Government is
focused on what matters to Canadians – jobs, growth and long-term
prosperity.
- Since 2006, our Government has helped 2.1
million youth obtain skills, training and jobs.
- While our economy continues to
grow and create jobs, the global economy remains fragile and a growing
mismatch exists between available jobs and those looking for work.
- Today, Parliamentary Secretary
Leitch announced the creation of 36,000 jobs for Canadian youth through
the Canada Summer Jobs initiative.
- Through
the Canada Summer Jobs initiative, students gain tangible work experience
and earn money for the upcoming school year, while helping employers
address skills and labour shortages.
- Creating summer jobs for
students benefits not only youth and employers, but local economies across
the country as well.
- Today’s
students are tomorrow’s workforce, so by investing in them we are helping
contribute to Canada’s long-term growth, competitiveness and overall
prosperity.
Background Canada Summer Jobs provides funding to not-for-profit
organizations, public-sector employers and small businesses with 50 or fewer
employees to create summer job opportunities for young people aged 15 to 30
years who are full-time students intending to return to their studies in the
next school year.
Canada Summer Jobs helps students gain the skills and
experience they need to be successful now and in the future, while earning
money for the upcoming school year. In 2011, the Harper Government permanently
increased the annual budget for Canada Summer Jobs by $10 million, bringing the
total program budget to $107.5 million. The additional $10 million is allocated
using the most recent labour market data available on summer students to ensure
that the new funding is provided to areas where it is most needed.
The Canada Summer Jobs initiative is an important part
of the Harper Government’s Youth Employment Strategy (YES), which also includes
the Skills Link and Career Focus programs. With an annual budget of more than
$300 million, YES helps youth obtain career information, develop employment
skills, find jobs and stay employed.
Economic
Action Plan (EAP) 2013 proposes an additional investment of $70 million over
three years in YES to support 5 000 more paid internships. This is further to
the extra $50 million that was invested through EAP 2012 to enhance YES with a
new initiative that connects young Canadians with jobs that are in high demand
and helps them develop tangible skills and gain work experience.
