Diane Finley: Labour Shortage

Unemployment Line Dept: Rather than turn to immigrants to tackle a looming labour shortage, Finley said the province should look to its unemployment line, according to The Chronicle Herald. Finley was there to discuss the impact of changing demographics on the labour market and nova Scotia should close the widening gap between the supply and demand of skilled workers by getting the jobless back to work, says federal Human Resources Minister Diane Finley. With 42,000 Nova Scotians looking for work, the provincial government is already calling for the federal government to allow foreign workers to come to Canada to perform work on the ships, she said during a visit to Irving Shipbuilding Inc. in Halifax on Tuesday.
