I understand the difficulty, of course. If we welcome your workers and families to our province, that may cause a problem in yours. The fact remains, however, that your workers need work. If they stay in your province and have no work, they will look for and seize job opportunities elsewhere.
I believe that Air Canada and WestJet are businesses that employ the most workers from New Brunswick and Quebec who shuttle back and forth. Some of the people who settle temporarily in Alberta, say for 5 or 10 years, will make their fortunes and may one day return to their home province with their wealth. What is important is that, if the families follow the workers, their children will attend French-language schools. That will help enrich the francophone community in Alberta and that is what we would like.
Why do people choose to settle in Alberta? As you mentioned, it is because there are jobs there, jobs that pay quite well.
What industries do these francophone workers wind up in? Many obviously find jobs in the energy industry and in related services. The hotel and construction industries also attract a lot of workers. In short, francophone workers essentially occupy jobs in the energy, construction and tourism sectors.
