Published Sunday, July 10, 2022 8:30AM EDTOntario Premier Doug Ford is planning to raise immigration and skilled labour shortage issues at a meeting of premiers from across the country next week in Vi
ctoria.
"I know the other premiers agree that provinces can’t do this alone," Ford said in a statement. "We need the federal government to work with us to tackle the labour shortfall to help ensure our economy remains strong during these challenging times." "That's why we're setting out to renegotiate the Ontario-Canada immigration agreement that expires this fall, to give Ontario more of a say in the the number of immigrants and the kind of immigrants that we want to build a stronger economy," he said in an interview.
Federal Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Minister Sean Fraser agrees with Ontario that immigration will be essential in a post-pandemic economic recovery, a spokeswoman said. She noted that Ontario already receives the highest allocation among the provinces as well as the largest share of economic immigrants.
"Labour shortages are being felt across Canada, be it in aviation, construction, hospitality, trucking and health care," Rossi wrote. "But the provinces cannot solve this on their own."
