NIAGARA-ON-THE-LAKE, Ont. Canadas provincial and territorial leaders say they want a meeting with Ottawa to hash out their differences over a controversial plan to provide jobs training for workers.

ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne says theres concern across the board over the federal governments plans for a new skills-training scheme called the Canada Job Grant.

The Harper government wants to divert some of the money it gives to the provinces to the new program, with the provinces and employers each kicking in a third.

But premiers gathered for the Council of the Federation meeting in Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ont., are worried that it wont give them enough flexibility to direct the money wher its needed most.

She says all the premiers are also calling for a meeting between the federal, provincial and territorial ministers to discuss the issue.
