Party leaders make announcements across the country on the 14th day of the federal electoral campaign, committing to fight against the shortage of family physicians, to support qualified professions and to reduce the administrative formalities of the government.
In Oakville, Ontario, Liberal leader Mark Carney has announced a plan which, according to him, will help stimulate the workforce of Canada’s qualified trades.
Without acting, Canada will see a lack of tens of thousands of skilled workers, said Carney. He has promised a new learning subsidy, increased access to training initiatives led by a union and a new capital financing flow of $ 20 million for colleges to support new training spaces for learning.
The liberal plan would also increase the mobility of the workforce between the provinces and the territories, with the aim of “building a Canadian economy” – a reference to the abolition of interpromincial trade barriers which have become more and more concern since US President Donald Trump was elected.
Carney’s announcement follows a week to signal him to the Canadians that he is seriously trying to strengthen the economy in the face of the threats of the White House, spending a large part of his week in factories and training schools.

Meanwhile, the leader of the NPD, Jagmeet Singh, is in Atlantic Canada, where he promised to make sure that all Canadians have access to a family doctor by 2030.
Singh made its announcement to St. John’s earlier during the day, promising that an NPD government will offer an additional percent in the financing of Canada’s health transfer to the provinces that guarantee access to a family doctor.
Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre is in British Columbia, where he should make an announcement on reducing administrative formalities later in the day.
Hairyvre should promise to reduce bureaucratic administrative formalities by 25% in two years. The plan for what he calls a law “two for one” would oblige the repeal of two regulations for each new one which is brought. It would also be necessary that for each dollar in administrative costs, two dollars must be reduced elsewhere to mitigate the burden.
With just over three weeks until the Canadians vote on April 28, the polls indicate that the Liberals direct the Conservatives of the Canadians’ voting intentions.
A new light survey suggests more than one in five who plans to vote for liberals are motivated by their conviction that Carney is the best option to deal with Trump.
The survey suggests that the capacity of hairy to resist Trump does not stimulate the vote of a small number of people who said that they voted for his party, because conservative voters seem to be more motivated by anti-liberal feeling and a desire for change.
The survey, led by Leger for the Association for Canadian Studies, questioned 1,628 people between March 29 and 31.
