Robert Ghiz: Skills Development

Stephen Harper Dept: Robert Ghiz, the premier of Prince Edward Island, said he would have welcomed the prime minister's ideas at the table on how to improve the country's sluggish economic growth, according to CTV. Whether it's skills development, university funding ... immigration, trade, all these things. There are federal ties in all those areas. HALIFAX -- Stephen Harper's refusal to meet with the premiers dampens the chances of economic progress for provinces struggling with tepid growth and rising debt, several of the provincial leaders said ahead of Friday's discussion in Halifax. There is a difference when he is here, Ghiz said late Thursday after arriving in the port city. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
