A high-powered group of external advisers is calling for a dramatic increase in Canada's immigration levels, but Immigration Minister John McCallum says that might be too ambitious.

McCallum said Wednesday he's read the report by the Advisory Council on Economic Growth that calls for a 50-per-cent increase in targets to 450,000 people a year.

The measure would target skilled, entrepreneurial newcomers in an attempt to stimulate economic growth.

• McCallum acknowledges internal Liberal debate on immigration file
• Canada wants more Chinese workers, students & tourists, says McCallum
• McCallum wants to 'substantially increase' immigration to fill labour needs

The 14-member panel, chaired by Dominic Barton of the firm McKinsey and Co., is to deliver a set of recommendations to Finance Minister Bill Morneau on Thursday.

McCallum said meeting the target suggested by Barton's group would be costly and might not find broad national support.

"The figure he gives is a huge figure," McCallum said. "But this is not a universal view across the country."

Discussions are continuing and the government will announce immigration targets for 2017 next month, McCallum added.

McCallum's cabinet colleague, Economic Development Minister Navdeep Bains, told The Canadian Press on Wednesday that he's "worked very closely" with Barton's panel, and favours increased immigration levels. But he stopped short of endorsing the target in Barton's report.

"Clearly he's demonstrating an opportunity for Canada," Bains said. "We value our diversity, we value our multicultural society and we recognize immigration is an opportunity to create jobs."

The need for skilled labour

Bains said the government would need to sell the idea of higher immigration levels to the public.

"We, as a government, need to focus on communicating the benefits of growing the economy and part of that growth is investing in people and part of that equation is immigration."

Bains said bringing in more skilled workers is part of the government's broader agenda that includes investing in research and development, creating jobs and helping companies grow.

A survey released by Canadian Manufactures and Exporters said the most pressing challenge facing its member companies is "attracting or retaining skilled labour."

The response came from a survey and roundtable discussions with 1,300 member companies.

Matthew Wilson, the organization's senior vice president, said manufacturers have traditionally looked beyond Canada's border to find skilled workers.

"If we can expand that, that's good," he said in an interview.

Slower growth ahead

But the government needs to do more to make sure the immigrants they allow into Canada actually have skills that are needed, Wilson added.

"Just bringing in more immigrants isn't going to solve the skills-gap problem if they don't have the skills Canadian companies need."

The continuing need to address the country's sluggish economy was underscored Wednesday as the Bank of Canada downgraded its growth prediction.

The bank's latest outlook projected a real GDP expansion of 1.1 per cent this year, down from its earlier 1.3 per cent forecast.

Governor Stephen Poloz listed immigration as "one of the ingredients" for helping to reverse declining growth.

I can't believe McCallum had those thoughts. He must be drying out. Has anyone ever explained how "diversity" has helped Canada? I don't ever remember it being mentioned during Oshawa's Fiesta Week during its heydey.

Some talk on the CBC this morning & the reporter said most immigrants settle in the big cities, which doesn't help declining populations in rural & small town Canada. The reason those populations are declining is that there are no jobs there. Why would it make sense to plunk immigrants down in areas of unemployment? In Apsley, Asians already own the motel/restaurant and the "general store". I can't think of any other businesses they'd be interested in.

I was reposting a twitter war between MPs.  Jody is saying no election that isn't a secret.

Her pension would be minimal at this point in her career - MPs pay lots into their plan

 

Do you think the average Lawyer makes 188k a year plus expenses?  I am thinking that is twice what an average Lawyer makes in Canada

Sure Fail lawyers make less then school teachers and firemen.  

Top Lawyers are billed out at well over $450/hour. And they try to bill the full day everyday.

Even an average lawyer will be over $300/hour.

So if you think that the average lawyer who bills $600,000/yr only makes $100,000 keep puffing that shit you smoke.

top 5% make over 110k 

 1% is 189k in Canada

average Lawyer makes 100k -  posting what a firm charges is not what a Lawyer earns 

 

Federal MPs are among the highest paid people in Canada

So the previous governments spent a number of years compiling a list of Residential School Abusers still alive.  List was completed in 2013.

 5,300 past workers who were potential torturers and murderers and the Justin Trudeau Liberals have not done anything in 6 years with the list.   

No charges laid despite years of investigations.  

The government had a lot of details of abuse and torture   Probably murder too.

 

Now Justin Trudeau stands in front of the country and acts like this is all new to him!

What a true sack of shit.

Since when does a PM lay charges for anything?  seems odd.

 

I would like more info on these schools, turning this into HATE TRUDEAU is stupid.

Were these children sick and died or killed?  nothing has come out on this.

when were these kids buried? over the past centuries or all at once

none of this has been answered.

 

I saw a meme that blames PET for all murders of students and was all under his watch  ,  funny there was only 1 school left under PET who ended the schools,  and all these schools are Provincially run That is how Winnepeg kept one of theirs open until 1996.

  you started at 300 an hour then post 73 an hour and claim victory  

 

here is a quote that really isn't adding up

he average pay for a Lawyer is $151,600 a year and $73 an hour in Ontario, Canada.

The average salary range for a Lawyer is between $104,410 and $189,081. 

 

   something isn't adding up and no other of the hundreds of salary site has these numbers

lotsa hrs but in a good year can make close to six figures digging ditches

2700 fully vaccinated Canadians have got covid and 60 have died.
