Shelly Glover: Immigration

Winnipeg Tory MP Shelly Glover Dept: It is unlikely Winnipeg Tory MP Shelly Glover will ever thank provincial officials for what they did Thursday, although there is no doubt they did her a solid, according to Winnipeg Free Press. Ottawa recently decided to take over delivery of immigration settlement services. For the 15 years previous, Ottawa provided money to Manitoba, which delivered the services. Manitoba claims this will weaken the provincial nominee program entrants, the main stream of immigration to this province. The feds disagree, and have accused Manitoba of living unfairly off federal largesse and tory MP Shelly Glover, right, flanked by MP Joy Smith, said her party deserves credit for immigrant settlement. Glover and three of her federal caucus colleagues -- James Bezan, Joy Smith and Candice Hoeppner -- took the unusual step of visiting the Manitoba legislature to spar.
