Quebec budget cuts hit English-speaking community, raising concerns over reduced service
The CAQ government’s most recent provincial budget has been met with mixed reactions, including from Quebec’s anglophone community. Yes Employment + Entrepreneurship, an organization based in Montreal that offers employment and entrepreneurship services dedicated to English speakers, had all of its provincial funding for employability services eliminated.
“Very frustrating, like I think we were in a period of shock,” said Marina Boulos-Winton, executive director of Yes Employment and Entrepreneurship.
The cuts total $466,000, which represents 17 per cent of their entire budget.
