With assistance of up to 50% of the wages of eligible employees from June to November 2021, we hope that this program will provide financial relief to our francophone businesses that have been struggling since COVID-19. &#8211; <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Richard Kempler, Executive Director of the FGA.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The FGA also supports the Trudeau government&#8217;s commitment to invest an additional $16 billion over five years for businesses; with a quarter of this envelope allocated to SMEs, in the form of micro-grants in particular, to help 160,000 small and medium-sized businesses that want to adopt new digital technologies in their operations and train their employees.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Finally, although the FGA regrets the lack of clarity on issues directly affecting the Franco-Ontarian community, such as the modernization of the Official Languages Act or the Laurentian University\u2019s crisis and the recovery of the Francophone economy, we would like to point out that the 2021 budget also announces the allocation of $392 million over three years for the promotion of both official languages, in particular to improve French immersion programmes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.budget.gc.ca\/2021\/report-rapport\/toc-tdm-fr.html\"><b>Consult the 2021 budget in Web version.<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.budget.gc.ca\/2021\/pdf\/budget-2021-en.pdf\"><b>Download the 2021 budget (PDF).<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><b>\u2013 30 \u2013<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><b>About the F\u00e9d\u00e9ration des gens d&#8217;affaires francophones de l&#8217;Ontario<br \/>\n<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The F\u00e9d\u00e9ration des gens d\u2019affaires francophones de l\u2019Ontario brings together, represents and advances the social and economic interests of its members with the various levels of government, business partners and the general public through principled policy development, resourceful business services and innovative activities focused on the development of Francophone business markets.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>Contacts and interviews<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>M\u00e9lanie Grenier<br \/>\n<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">media@fedefranco.ca<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Richard Kempler<br \/>\n<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Executive Director, FGA<br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">richard.kempler@fedefranco.ca<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Toronto, April 20, 2021 &#8211; The F\u00e9d\u00e9ration des gens d&#8217;affaires francophones de l&#8217;Ontario (FGA) is pleased with the investments announced by the federal government to provide lower-cost child care services to all Canadian families, a major structural measure to boost the Canadian economy. &#8220;The FGA is pleased with the federal government&#8216;s announcement to provide affordable [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":21,"featured_media":591,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[4,1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-622","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-actualites","category-uncategorized"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.2 -
