Mr. Speaker, the very strength of the transitional jobs fund is the local consultations that are required to ensure that the community is advised of the initiatives being proposed.
My department recommended this project for approval because it met all the standard eligibility criteria under the transitional jobs fund. Part of the criteria is to take the input of all MPs in the areas that are eligible for the TJF.
The project continues to meet its contractual obligations and has created the 19 jobs forecasted.
