Labour Force Development in Canada
- The Federal government launched the Labour Force Development Strategy (LFDS) in 1989, a comprehensive, long-range plan for building a strong, highly skilled and internationally competitive work force.
- The strategy emphasized that the private sector must be prepared to put more time, effort and resources into developing a skilled, competitive work force. It also stated that Governments must be prepared to work more closely with the private sector - giving business, labour, and social action groups a more direct say in how federal and provincial resources are used to address labour market problems.
