I have a number of written questions for the Minister of Education, Culture and Employment. They are as follows:
What is the foreign worker assistance program designed to help small business owners fill skilled employment vacancies called?
What is the budget for this program?
When was this program instituted?
How often has this foreign worker program been used, both successfully and unsuccessfully?
What is the average processing time with these applications?
How many businesses have been assisted by this program?
Provide a breakdown of the communities that have businesses accessing this program.
What public information campaign was used to advertise this program to employers?
Who is the point of contact to access this service in Yellowknife?
Do we offer financial assistance in processing applications?
Will you provide me a copy of this program’s establishment policy, assuming there is one?
