Very simply put, it's an Alberta reality. We cannot find the people we need in order to fill the jobs required for us to continue to be the economic engine in Canada, which is, again, another economic reality at the moment. We have not seen the interprovincial movement of labour we have seen in the past that may have filled some of those jobs we now look to fill with temporary foreign workers.
We do commend the government for the work they have done, particularly in the EI areas, to promote interprovincial labour movement, but we think those programs are going to take some time to gain traction and before we can start to feel the positive effects of those programs.
The raw reality is we need people. Come to Alberta, the land of opportunity.
