Senator Diane Bellemare introduced her first bill, entitled An Act to establish Promotion of Essential Skills Learning Week (Bill S-254).
Bill S-254 designates the week starting on the first Monday of October of each year as “Promotion of Essential Skills Learning Week.” This bill aims to underline the urgency and the need for all Canadians to improve their skills to better meet the demands of today and tomorrow’s economy. It seeks to spark a social dialogue between different actors. It is also in line with the Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations’ 2030 Agenda.
