Supported by federal backing and Prime Minister Mark Carney’s nation-building push, the deal with Quebec aims to unlock over 23,000 jobs across both provinces before Quebec’s October election. Trades N.L. sees this as a lifeline—offering steady work, economic revival, and a strong reason for displaced workers to come back and stay.
