Premier Darrell Dexter: Labour Demand

Ray Bassett Dept: It s a question of where the labour demand is, Ray Bassett, Irish ambassador to Canada, said Tuesday afternoon after a meeting with Premier Darrell Dexter, according to The Chronicle Herald. At a private meeting with Dexter later, the two discussed Canada s immigration agreement with Ireland, which will be hugely expanded over the next two years and canada is opening its gates for a flood of educated Irish young people, and the country s ambassador thinks some would head to Nova Scotia if only they knew more about it, such as what skills are in short supply here. Bassett visited Halifax, and specifically the Brewery Market, for the unveiling of new signage for the city s Historic Irishtown cultural district near the waterfront at Pier 21.
