Prime Minister Stephen Harper met at Fanshawe College with representatives of the federal and local municipal government, Fanshawe College and local media to provide an update on the latest federal initiatives to combat escalating unemployment figures.
It was Harpers first trip to London since winning the federal election in October of last year. He was joined by Fanshawe College President Dr. Howard Rundle, MP Diane Finley, Minister of Citizenship and Immigration, London Mayor Anne Marie de Cicco-Best and Fanshawe students in design technology and architecture.
Speaking in both French and English, the Prime Minister highlighted the recent federally supported Transition Fund. "I think these dollars came out at just the right time to start assist people. We've always had labour market raises in place with the provinces to protect people. The fund was set up to help anyone who does not qualify for employment insurance in the close to sixty areas in Canada where citizens can pay into and collect from the fund for up to 26 weeks.
Harper said the initiative will allow 50,000 additional people who might previously have been ineligible to receive Employment Insurance benefits to take advantage of training money and to upgrade their skills before re-entering the workforce. He specifically noted that it would help those who had dropped out of high school and taken jobs.

Harper cannot be trusted - he's extremely calculating - for his own power.

Just because jobs are on the low, and so will be money, doesn't mean you can't do whatever you want to do, Im backpacking across Canada! :)
