Prime Minister @MarkJCarney’s launch of the Federal Government’s Major Projects Office today is a big step forward in fast-tracking Canadian infrastructure projects of national importance. It’s apt that this announcement comes as we approach Labour Day. In designating projects.

Smart decision from the Fed Gov to build in Canadian lumber into procurement and invest more in mass timber development and training. It’s the building method of the future and Canada has the resources to be a global leader. Carpenters’ Union members are ready to get to work!.
Facing a shifting trade landscape, we’re turning challenges into opportunities. Canada’s new government is helping the softwood lumber sector to diversify its markets and products to seize new opportunities, as we massively scale up construction on housing and major projects.

Not including construction as one of the industries permitting open work permits for TFWs is a massive oversight. Construction employers are some of the worst offenders when it comes to worker exploitation. Why not allow for joint union-employer sponsorship to protect TFWs?.
New documents reveal Canada's proposed changes to the foreign worker program. Migrants respond 'this is not for us'

Yeah, let’s stop building the long overdue critical infrastructure we need to support both our current and growing population (mid-construction) while simultaneously laying off blue collar skilled tradespeople during an affordability crisis. Yeah, let’s do that.
This is lunacy. Transportation Critic @HarmanBhanguBC says the BC Conservatives would make cuts by stopping infrastructure projects that are already underway - starting with the Pattullo Bridge, which is almost complete. 1/3🧵

Thank you, @DavidPiccini and @fordnation for your exceptional leadership in investing in skilled tradespeople. Carpenters play an important role in building Ontario’s infrastructure and housing, and this funding will allow us to train the workforce we need to do it.
📢 Ontario is building the workforce of tomorrow!. Back in January, we announced a $27 million Skills Development Fund investment to train 2,600+ carpenters with @UBCBuilt_CRC for good-paying, in-demand jobs. ✅ $13M for 5 state-of-the-art training centres in Windsor, London,
