Federal Budget 2014

The Federal Government's budget contains some goodies for people looking to fine tune their trade.  Finance Minister Jim Flaherty announced Tuesday a new loan for apprenticeships.  Other highlights include 300 million dollars for the disadvantaged to find jobs, one and a half billion dollars over 10 years for university research.  There will also be 300 million set aside for clean water on First Nations reserves and 250 million dollars for municipalities to prepare for natural disasters.  The government is also raising taxes on cigarettes by as much as 6 dollars a carton.
