  • Promises to “crack down” on abuse of unpaid internships, and ensure health and safety protections for interns (13)

  • Tabled Bill C-636, the ‘Intern Protection Act’ (November, 2014), which would have made unpaid interns entitled to the same protections as regular employees under the Canada Labour Code (14-15)


  • Promises to create 40,000 youth jobs every year for the next 3 years by investing $300 million annually into Canada’s Youth Employment Strategy, and would subsequently set its funding at $385 million per year (17-18)

  • Pledges to work with provinces and other institutions to develop and expand pre-apprenticeship training programs (19)

  • Will give $25 million per year to a new ‘Youth Service Program’ designed to give young people experience by participating in “community building projects” across the country (21)

  • Believes that the federal government must do a better job of streamlining labour market development transfers to the provinces and territories (22)

  • Will require businesses above a certain size to allocate at least 1% of their annual payroll toward training new workers (as currently exists in Quebec) (23)

  • Will abolish tuition fees for post-secondary education and job training by 2020 (25)

  • Promises to ban unpaid internships (26)
