Human Resources Minister Diane Finley: Perfect Sense

Foreign Workers Dept: But the Conservative cabinet minister, in Halifax on Tuesday, was off-base to suggest the provincial government is therefore somehow wrong to have already requested that skilled foreign workers be allowed into the country to build ships as part of the $25-billion contract won by the Irving-owned local shipyard, according to The Chronicle Herald. Some, but not all, of the unemployed would be suitable to be trained for skilled trade jobs and fEDERAL Human Resources Minister Diane Finley is right. It makes perfect sense to try to connect the 42,000 Nova Scotians looking for work with the growing numbers of skilled jobs that lack workers. It seemed needlessly partisan when, as Nova Scotia NDP Labour Minister Marilyn More also correctly noted, dealing with the looming shortage of skilled labour is a complex problem that will require a multi-pronged solution.
