Employment
- Work is a good thing; people are happiest when they are working and contributing to society.
- Essential services (medical, emergency services, postal services, transportation, border services) should never be at risk due to strikes or lockouts.
The CHP would put Canada back to work with a nationwide infrastructure stimulus package that would fix our cities, our highways and our bridges.
Jobs stimulate the economy. The CHP would revive the plan that was successfully used in Canada to combat unemployment after the Second World War. The Bank of Canada was ordered to make virtually interest-free loans to provinces, municipalities and cities for infrastructure projects: roads, highways, bridges, rail lines, ports—today we could include hospitals, urban and inter-urban passenger rail lines, water and sewage treatment plants. Building and repairing this infrastructure would create employment within the construction industry while providing employment in the facilities when they are operational.
There must be a symbiotic relationship between industry and employees recognizing their dependance on one another and working together to resolve issues.
CHP Canada would work together with industry to ensure that we have a robust employment market.
