The Federal Budget is coming Monday, April 19, 2021, and CBTU (Canadian Building Trades Unions) has been lobbying hard for the inclusion of the following items, which would be beneficial to our membership:
– Infrastructure Stimulus
– Community Benefits Agreements
– A skilled trades workforce mobility tax deduction
A website has been launched recently to support our advocacy, and to make it easy for our membership to electronically send a letter to the government and their local MP. Simply, enter your name, email, postal code and click “Send Message”. It can be found at:
We encourage you to share this link with your family, friends and co-workers, as well as sharing it on social media.
We are hoping to get as many letters sent as possible to have input into the budget and make positive change!
