Real Change: A New Plan For a Strong Middle Class (page 50)

"The Community Employment Benefits initiative provides a framework for establishing project targets and reporting on results. Participation in the initiative is not an eligibility criterion for the approval of project funding under the Investing in Canada Infrastructure Program.
Implicated projects are to provide employment and/or procurement opportunities for at least three of the groups targeted by the initiative: apprentices; Indigenous peoples; women; persons with disabilities; veterans; youth; recent immigrants; and small-sized, medium-sized and social enterprises. Provinces and territories will establish specific targets for each project, allowing for flexibility to consider various factors such as complementarity with existing local and regional employment initiatives or local labour market dynamics. The employment and procurement opportunities achieved against the project targets will be reported on an annual basis over the course of the project."
