Great article from CBC.  Manitobans hit hard by the global recession are getting some help from the federal government, which is investing $34 million in the province’s employment and training programs. Manitoba MP Vic Toews, president of the treasury board, announced Friday that the money will help an estimated 3,400 Manitobans get back to work. The money is in addition to almost $128 million the federal government previously announced it would provide to Manitoba over the next two years for employment and training programs. $23 million will go specifically toward training programs to help employment insurance-eligible residents in recession-hit industries. The remaining $11 million o will support provincial initiatives that help low-skilled workers, whether or not they are eligible for employment insurance, retain their jobs or make the transition to new ones.
