Hi,
I am looking to find out some information related to our economy and it's potential expansion. Does anyone know how much of a brake on the economy the lack of qualified help is putting on things here in the West? Does it reduce our growth by a certain amount? I have been hearing amongst my talks with small business owners in Alberta that they aren't able to pursue expansion opportunities due to the lack of qualified help. Also, it seems that the federal governments tinkering with the temporary foreign worker program is making it harder to access this labour pool. What different strategies are you hearing that business owners are using to be able to compete? Thank you in advance.
