• Issues
• New Federal Government
• New Liberal Government policies could include new emissions standards
• FDI investment could be influenced
• Taxation policies, i.e. targeting small businesses/tax shelters
• ORPP
• Ontario government is moving forward with ORPP. Businesses have warned that added
costs will force either reduction in employees or cut to hours
• Alberta
• Alberta’s taxation policies may influence FDI

147. Labor Analysis - Canada
• Employment – All I see from your comments is opinion and no facts.
It seems you call me a troll, right? The only reason people call me a
troll is they cannot defend their opinion with facts, right? Let me
crunch a few things based on the below links –
• Since 2010 there has been 722K full-time jobs and 118K part-time jobs
created in Canada. So, 86% of the new jobs are full-time. So, where is the 80%
number you quoting coming from in terms of its accuracy?
• The main sector of growth are the following sectors
• Accommodation/food services approximately 98K
• Healthcare approximately 249K – this ties to more money being spent on healthcare by
provinces to support need for additional services
• Professional jobs approximately 170K
• Construction approximately 220K – does this not benefit skill trades and tied to the
housing market being solid in Canada

148. Labor Analysis - Canada
• Summary:
• The bulk of jobs are in areas that pay good salaries. http://www.statcan.gc.ca/tables-
tableaux/sum-som/l01/cst01/labor93a-eng.htm. The only sector that would see the bulk of
minimum wage would be accommodation/services.
• Food/Services jobs are created due to people spending money on meals and entertainment
and travel - http://www.statcan.gc.ca/tables-tableaux/sum-som/l01/cst01/trad15a-eng.htm
