Kenney made the announcement in question period. The news follows his announcement last Friday that 12 provinces and territories had negotiated a tentative agreement with the federal government about the skills training money.
“And so, Mr. Speaker, we will proceed with the Canada Job Grant,” Kenney said.
Quebec Labour Minister Agnès Maltais thanked Kenney for being open to negotiation and for recognizing Quebec’s “unique character.”
“We worked in total transparency, in good faith, and they finished by adhering to our idea that the Quebec way of doing it is the right one,” she said in Quebec City.
The agreement is for six years, Maltais said.
