The Labour Funding Program (LFP) provides the financial support needed for Canada to enter into cooperative activities and provide technical assistance to partner countries. The International Trade and Labour stream (ITL) of the LFP provides the mechanism for Canada to meet commitments emanating from participation in key international institutions and forums, and international agreements. With funding received through the ITL stream, organizations may prepare and publish reports on labour issues, promote social dialogue, oversee cooperative activities, and intergovernmental consultations, and manage independent evaluations and dispute resolution related to the enforcement of labour laws.
