Eye on the Me examines Job Race Between Provinces
The piece analyzes Premier Frank McKenna of New Brunswick and Gary Filmon of Manitoba in the battle to attract call center and telecom jobs. It cites relocation of 870 UPS Canada jobs to New Brunswick, 2300 telecom positions claimed by New Brunswick, and debates over incentives and the Interprovincial Trade pact. It notes opposition from Ontario and British Columbia premiers and an ongoing inquiry into incentives. Deputy Premier Downey downplays wrongdoing while Manitoba officials point to future job deals.
