AND WHEREAS Newfoundland and Labrador is
facing significant demographic challenges in that the Province has Canada's
most rapidly-aging population and lowest birthrate and is projected by 2025 to
experience a 10 per cent decline in its working-age population resulting in
35,000 fewer people in the provincial labour market;
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that this Honourable House supports the Government of Newfoundland
and Labrador in its goal to increase immigration so that Newfoundland and
Labrador will welcome approximately 1,700 immigrants annually by 2022”.
