Minister Copping speaks about getting Albertans back to work
By Lori Larsen
Government of Alberta minister of Labour and Immigration Jason Copping spoke to Camrose and District Chamber of Commerce members and guests present during the general meeting held via Zoom on May 31.
Copping spoke briefly on the government’s broad approach to economic recovery and the Alberta Jobs Now Program.
“The past 15 months has been an incredibly challenging time for our province. We are dealing with a worldwide pandemic, an economic recession and an historic crash in oil prices, all of which have hit Alberta particularly hard. Over these last 15 months, the focus of our government has been protecting lives and livelihoods. In the past year, we have put measures in place to control the spread of COVID-19, and we have also been supporting Albertans and Alberta businesses as vaccines are developed and being rolled out.”
He explained that the province has made significant investments in supporting businesses, including the small and medium enterprize Relaunch Grant. “We committed over $350 million to those grants to help keep businesses operating over these very challenging times.”
He also stated that the Labour and Immigration Department has made significant contributions to try to support businesses. “Last year, for example, we paid half of the WCB premiums for small and medium-sized businesses, which was approximately $300 million.
“We also increased the flexibility of the CanadaAlberta Job Grant. The Job Grant provides opportunities for businesses to keep Albertans employed by providing retraining so they are not laid off. Also, it will cover up to 100 per cent of training costs for Albertans who are laid off and collecting EI, whom employers want to bring in and train.
“Recognizing the challenges associated with the pandemic, we permitted the use of the CanadaAlberta Job Grant for mandatory training. Also, we heard loud and clear from the Chambers–concerns about small businesses being able to use training for family members, and business owners with four or fewer employees. So we made that change through the pandemic to enable that.”
Copping referenced the government’s Summer Plan for coming out of the pandemic. Phase 1 began on June 1, Phase 2 (with a 60 per cent vaccination rate and hospitalizations under 500) is slated for June 10, and Phase 3 is targeted for the end of June/beginning of July.
“As we come out of
COVID-19, our focus is returning to recovery,” noted Copping. “When I talk about recovery, it is both in terms of community and economy.”
With regards to community recovery, he said that the government is very aware of the impact COVID-19 has had on the mental health of Albertans. “Our government put forward significant funding to address mental health last year to help Albertans get through these challenging times, but also this year. In many circumstances, people dealt quite well going through the crisis, but it is after the crisis that it hits home and makes it challenging for individuals. We also have more funding for that.”
Copping said the government has also announced investments over the next year or two to assist with catching up on postponed surgeries and treatments.
“As well, we are looking at the impact that COVID-19–particularly closure of the schools–had upon students and how we can help them recover from an education standpoint.”
In speaking about the Alberta Economic Recovery Plan, he explained, “The Recovery Plan has three main components. The first is, we announced this year $20 billion in our current budget to invest in infrastructure with a focus of bringing forward dollars from future years into this year, so we can work on it now and get Albertans working now.”
He said the second component involves creating an environment for investment, which includes Alberta’s job creation tax cut. “We accelerated it last year to make our jurisdiction one of the most competitive in North America to attract investment. I am pleased to say it is starting to have an impact with a number of announcements, particularly in the IT field, and over the last couple of months, businesses that want to relocate here build here and take advantage of our environment. The whole objective of this is to create jobs here.”
Copping explained the third component is economic diversification, which involves developing and rolling out secto-
rial plans in a number of sectors, including energy, agriculture, IT, bio-medicine and tourism. We are not only focused on our single largest industry–energy– and putting out plans that we have already started in terms of blue hydrogen, different types of energy development, such as geo-thermal framework, but other sectors of the economy.”
He spoke specifically about the Alberta Jobs Now Program and thanked the Chamber for not only supporting the program, but providing input. “What we heard from the Chambers and businesses is there are a number of barriers to creating jobs, and some of those barriers are associated with the cost of training and putting more people into jobs.
“Our full Economic Recovery Plan is aimed at dealing with high levels of unemployment in Alberta, which still remains roughly two per cent higher than what it was prior to the pandemic, and even then, we were one of the highest in the country.””
In explaining the plan, he said the objective is to provide a grant worth 25 per cent of a job over a 52-week period that can be used for wage subsidy, onthe-job training or sending the individual to a third party to get the skills they need, or a combination. “This program is a $370 million program to support the creation of jobs and get Albertans back to work.”
Copping explained how the program works.
“Any private sector or
not-for-profit organization can apply. This includes small, medium or large enterprises, in any sector, anywhere in the province. It is targeted at businesses and organizations that have been operating for at least one year, that are creating new full-time positions for a minimum of one year.”
He further explained that the Jobs Now Program is not tied to a reduction in revenues. “If employers have a new job or create a new job and are willing to put 75 per cent of wages on the table, then they can apply for this. The provincial government will put up to 25 per cent to apply to either wage subsidy or training or both (up to a maximum of $25,000).”
Copping said the first intake opened last week, and applications will be taken until August 31. “If the employer meets the
criteria as outlined, they could be approved. Then they will need to go out and hire someone and, at the three-month mark, apply for 50 per cent of the grant, and at the 12-month mark, the other 50 per cent will be paid. There is also the option of applying at the end and getting the full amount.”
Eligible employees consist of unemployed, including new graduates and underemployed, those individuals who were laid off or cut back to part time and want to get back into full time. “We are asking businesses to contemplate how to use this program to expand their business, get training to Albertans that they need, and help get them back to work.”
Copping added that there is an element of the program that is focusing on those with disabilities. “We recognize that Albertans with disabilities have increased barriers to get into the workforce. As a result of that, the grant associated with this program is 1.5 times greater or 37.5 per cent up to a maximum of $37,500,” he said, adding that the number is higher than the $25,000 because of the costs often associated with setting up a work station for those with disabilities.
Copping said he is very optimistic about Alberta’s future. “I recognize that unemployment still remains incredibly high, and we are not out of the woods yet with the pandemic. But what I look forward to, in terms of our recovery, is going to be coming down the pipes in the next couple of months. We are poised for economic success. Many leading economists believe that Alberta will lead both economic and job growth in the country. We have an incredibly strong recovery plan which is getting stronger and, thanks to the input from organizations such as the Chambers and businesses, we will continue to refine that as we go along.
“Most importantly, we have an incredibly strong entrepreneurial spirit here in Alberta, and that is largely embodied by the Chamber and your businesses. Just on that alone, I look forward to saying we will come out of this, and will come out of this stronger.” On a final note, he asked the Chamber and members to continue to identify and send in ideas on how to reduce red tape and reduce the cost of doing business. “Because at the end of the day, we want our businesses to be competitive, in a position of growth, and create jobs for Albertans.”

Helpful Tips for Writing Classified Ads Which Get Results!
Be Thorough
Sure you want your ad to stand out from the rest, but don’t skimp on the sort of information that sells. The item’s condition, size, age, brand name, and colour are some of the basics readers want to know. Without them, your ad may be overlooked.
Steer Clear of Abbreviations
Okay, so you want to include all the important basics. Don’t use strange abbreviations because our ads are designed to spell all the important details. Besides, you are not paying by the line, but by the word, so there is really no need to abbreviate.
Be Honest
Exaggerating your item’s finer points may bring in a lot of responses, but a buyer who’s misled won’t appreciate it and will take his business somewhere else.
State Your Price
The cost of an item is one of the most important concerns of want ad readers. Ads showing prices are ones which get results. Giving a price also serves to “weed out” those buyers not in your price range.
Be Accessible
Including a telephone number or address puts you in touch with potential buyers. Be sure to state the hours you can be reached: a caller who can’t get through the first time often won’t call again.
Don’t hesitate to call us with any questions or problems you may have regarding advertising. Our professionally trained sales staff know the ropes, and would be happy to pass their know-how on to you. That’s why we’re here to help you get the results you deserve.
