Canada’s future depends on good jobs
Canada's future depends on good jobs that pay good wages. Good jobs
provide people with the means to provide for their families, to put down
roots, plan and build a better future. They allow workers to exercise
their citizenship in full, with time to contribute to their communities
and build a better society. Good jobs, with family-supporting wages, are
the foundation upon which prosperous and progressive countries like
Canada are built.
