OTTAWA—Veterans Affairs will spend upwards of $10 million to have a private company help veterans find work in the private sector, taking over a role that had been done by a charity. “A charity can’t compete against a publicly funded private company. We really don’t have an option,” said Blake Goldring, a Toronto businessman who is the founder and chairperson of Canada Company. In recent years, the charity has run an employment transition program to assist personnel who are leaving the military find work in the private sector. “It will be offering a much broader set of services,” Nicholson said.
