Subject field(s)
  • Labour and Employment
  • Economic Fluctuations
DEF

An industry that has high peaks of employment at certain times of the year and troughs during other seasons.

CONT

We are well aware that seasonal industries underpin the economies of a great many communities throughout the country. We feel, however, that EI [employment insurance] is only a partial solution and that local economies must be stimulated to provide alternatives to seasonal work.

CONT

Nous savons très bien que l'industrie saisonnière est à la base de l'économie d'un grand nombre de localités du pays. Nous estimons toutefois que l'assurance-emploi ne représente qu'une partie de la solution et qu'il faut stimuler les économies locales pour offrir des solutions de rechange au travail saisonnier.
