Ottawa veut investir 2 milliards $ de plus pour former des travailleurs spécialisés

Cette somme s’ajoute aux 6 milliards $ déjà annoncés par le gouvernement Carney dans son énoncé économique de printemps pour recruter, former et embaucher jusqu’à 100 000 nouveaux travailleurs spécialisés. 

  • Pour y parvenir, il compte notamment bonifier la rémunération des apprentis. 

Le gouvernement fédéral souhaite entamer prochainement des discussions avec les provinces afin de conclure des accords de financement. 

Christine Fréchette avait fait savoir en avril dernier au ministre fédéral des finances:

  • que la formation des travailleurs continuerait d’être gérée par le Québec;
  • qu’elle s’attendait à ce que les fonds fédéraux lui soient transférés.
