What the TD report and Minister Kenny said was that wages haven't increased. There may be labour shortages, but the proper market response to those labour shortages is to raise wages and for employers to increase training if those are skilled jobs. That hasn't happened, so it's not really a labour shortage. They could raise wages.
Minister Kenny said it, not me. He said to raise wages. That's how the market responds to a labour shortage. That's how you signal to people who are unemployed that this is a good job, that there are jobs over here, that it's good money.
The other point is that Alberta is quite a hot labour market and so it can be quite expensive to live there. If you're looking for people to work in the food and accommodation industries, it's difficult to get them there because it's really expensive to live there. You don't move from Ontario to Alberta to wait on tables.
