Alberta Economy: Canada and Immigrants

alberta economy: I was interested to hold these in Alberta because, as you know, Alberta economy is not in the greatest shape, according to CTV. So I was interested to hear what people attitudes would be towards immigration. McCallum spoke with the media at the Harry Hays building on Friday morning and announced that there has been overwhelming support for more immigrants to enter Canada from everyone he spoken to so far. I can tell you in this group this morning and also in Edmonton, there a strong consensus that they are in favour of more immigrants, not less immigrants. Immigration will also be important for Canada when the economy rebounds and businesses are looking for workers to fill empty positions. The federal government says that Canada aging population is creating a gap in the workforce and immigration is the key to growing the labour force. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
