− MS. CATHY BENNETT (Virginia Waters) − To Move:
“WHEREAS
Newfoundland and
Labrador communities face very real challenges due to population decline and
population aging;
AND WHEREAS the Province can no longer
rely on employment alone to successfully compete and attract and retain skilled
workers needed for growth in global environment;
AND WHEREAS the significant economic,
social and cultural contributions of newcomers to our Province are
well-recognized;
AND WHEREAS international migrants,
including immigrants, temporary workers and international students will
continue to play an increasingly important role in helping to sustain and grow
a diverse and prosperous future;
AND WHEREAS Newfoundland and Labrador
has among the lowest newcomer attraction and retention rates in the country;
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that this
House of Assembly urge Government to implement a Worker Recruitment and Protection Act similar to Nova Scotia or
Manitoba which would require an employer registration process as well as a licensing
requirement for companies/individuals recruiting foreign workers.”
