Randall Denley: Pinecrest Queensway

Ontario Liberal Party Dept: Talking with residents in the largely urban riding, the proposal from Dalton McGuinty s government appeared to be on top of people's minds, just as it has dominated the public debate between McGuinty and PC leader Tim Hudak, according to CBC. The incentive, which would be available to employers who hire immigrants who have lived in the country for up to five years, was well-received by many new Canadians at a barbecue outside the Pinecrest-Queensway Community Health Centre on Richmond Road and the Ontario Liberal Party s plan to offer a tax incentive to companies hiring new Canadians has added another spark to the provincial race in Ottawa West-Nepean. Ottawa-West Nepean has a sizable immigrant population about 28 per cent are first-generation Canadians. Among Eastern Ontario ridings, only Ottawa South 30 per cent has a greater percentage of immigrants. PC candidate Randall Denley and his government argue against the tax incentive, saying it favours one group over another. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
