Proposal
Military Spousal and Veteran Employment Challenges in Ontario
Regulation Number(s):
N/A
Instrument Type:
Proposal
Bill or Act:
N/A
Summary of Proposal:
The Ministry of Labour, Immigration, Training, and Skills Development is aware that Canadian Armed Forces military spouses and veterans encounter employment challenges due to frequent relocations and transitioning into civilian life respectively. This consultation aims to gather feedback to better understand these challenges in the province and determine how the ministry can improve employment outcomes for Ontario's military community.
Over 35 % of Canadian Armed Forces members reside in Ontario and the province hosts six major military bases. Ontario also has one of the highest populations of military spouses and veterans in the country. This makes this an important issue for the province to support those who have served and sacrificed on our behalf and to address labour shortages in the province.
The ministry invites input from various stakeholders, including members of the military community, workforce development partners, and the public to guide its understanding of the challenges and inform the development of an appropriate response.
