Council Members: Member Council

council members: It a target, according to The Waterloo Record. The 14-member council was assembled by Finance Minister Bill Morneau to provide "bold" advice on how best to guide Canada struggling economy out of its slow-growth rut. For two of the most prominent voices inside the Trudeau government influential council of economic advisers, it much more than a passing fancy. One of their first recommendations, released last week, called for a gradual increase in permanent immigration to 450,000 people a year by 2021 — with a focus on top business talent and international students. The council members — along with many others, including Economic Development Minister Navdeep Bains — argue that opening Canada doors to more newcomers is a crucial ingredient for expanding growth in the future. That would be a 50-per-cent hike from the current level of about 300,000. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
