Charles Sousa: Government Panel

Ontario Dept: If I had greater devolution power, I could better respond to the needs specific to the province, Charles Sousa told after he received a government panel s recommendations on how to fix Ontario s immigration woes, according to The Star. On Wednesday, the 13-member government-appointed panel presented a detailed report outlining the challenges faced by Ontario s economy and its newcomers, whose earnings have been in decline while their unemployment rate is on the rise and the province will seriously pursue an immigration strategy similar to Quebec s, which allows it to pick and choose its own immigrants, says Ontario s immigration minister. There are definitely gaps, he added. Different sectors, different municipalities are crying for skilled labour. Every province wants greater devolution power. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
