Since Mr. Banville mentioned a couple of Atlantic provinces, I'll ask this of Restaurants Canada. I won't guess which one of you will answer.
The Atlantic immigration pilot, as you probably know, makes some specialized adjustments to ease processing for workers and for employers. For example, there's the designated employer benefit to be exempt of the labour market impact assessment. Of course, for workers, spouses are able to apply for open work permits in more of the national occupational classification codes.
If the government is to embark on developing other region-specific immigration programs, should it follow the same approach?
