Canada’s provincial and territorial labour ministers will be meeting with their federal counterpart on June 17 to demand that the federal government reinstate $625 million that it cut from the Labour Market Transfer Agreements.

A statement distributed by the British Columbia government says the cut significantly impacts provinces’ and territories’ ability to maintain skills training services for priority sectors, such as construction and health care.
