Canada: Must address worker shortfall
Canadian Construction Association head Wayne Morsky says more than 300,000 new construction employees will be needed within the next decade

Construction within Mexico is going to go up during this time frame. The Canadian should looked for their own poor to train.
I support enforcement and see its lack as bad for the 3rd World as well. Remittances are now mostly spent on consumption not production assets. Join our efforts to Secure America's Borders and End Illegal Immigration by Joining ALIPAC's E-Mail Alerts network (CLICK HERE)
