Region: Atlantic Canada and Stephen Mcneil

region: We should be importing them to build on our dream here in Atlantic Canada, according to The Chronicle Herald. Without more people we cannot deliver on the services that you and I and our families expect in this region. I think the single biggest thing we can do as a region, as a population, is to welcome more new Canadians to our region and allow them the opportunity that all of us have been given to build a wonderful life for ourselves here, Stephen McNeil said during a panel with the three other Liberal premiers in Atlantic Canada. In a backhanded swipe at the previous NDP government, McNeil said when the Liberals were elected in 2013, we came in with a half-a-billion-dollar deficit, we had no migration of young people into the province and our population was declining. . . . The last two years we've had more young people move into our province than move out and we've seen a tremendous growth in new Nova Scotians who are coming here looking for hopes to build a new life here. During that period, 1,022 left the province. According to Statistics Canada, 4,356 people moved into Nova Scotia between June 2016 and June 2017. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
