NDP scrapped plan to create jobs via tax credits
Alberta's NDP ditched a two year Job Creation Incentive Plan set to reward employers with a 10 percent refund of new hires' salaries up to 50 000 and 89 million in the first year. Premier Notley touted the program which could cost the government up to 178 million, but Economic Development Minister Deron Bilous said feedback prompted its cancellation. A new Calgary Edmonton job creation package with 10 million was promised in Thursday's budget.
