WINNIPEG — Manitoba Premier Brian Pallister says changes being eyed by the federal government could cost the province a lot of aerospace jobs.
Pallister says a proposed law to change the requirements for Air Canada (TSX:ACE.B) maintenance jobs to be kept in Winnipeg could see some work shipped to other provinces.
He says if the bill is to pass, Manitoba would want to be compensated through investments in aerospace training.
Pallister is also concerned about media reports that say the federal government is looking at buying new Super Hornet fighter jets from Boeing instead of the Lockheed-Martin F-35 planned by the former federal government.
He says Manitoba companies have already planned for the F-35 purchase, and any move away from that should be open for bidding from all companies.
