What is the difference between a Labour Market Development Agreement (LMDA) and a Labour Market Agreement (LMA)?
The Labour Market Development Agreement is governed by Part II of Canada’s Employment Insurance Act. For example, a potential client must be EI eligible to receive LMDA programs. The Labour Market Agreement gives the Province the ability to develop programs and services for unemployed and low-skilled workers to improve their employability. A potential client would not need to be receiving EI to be eligible for these programs. As well, the LMA gives the Province a lot more flexibility to design programs that meet the unique needs of our economy.
