The Premier of British Columbia, Christy Clark, was addressing the provincial leaders assembled in Halifax on the agenda of global economic trends, on Friday, when she stated that premiers shall assume better control of their own economies, specifically when it comes to immigration.
Clark asserted that “one of the things that I hope to see is a resolution from premiers that we need more control of our provincial economies, particularly with respect to immigration, which is a huge lever that drives our economies.” Greg Selinger, Premiere of Manitoba, stated that immigration is the key for his province’s economy, especially for small- and medium-sized businesses. He stated that “It’s that local texture that really makes a difference in our ability to have success.”
Clark explained that the meeting of all premiers proves the fact that provincial governments are controlling the national economy, and not Ottawa. Few premiers criticized Prime Minister, Stephen Harper, for being absent at the gathering, but he assured to meet them individually. Premier of Nova Scotia, Darrell Dexter, shared that “there are still unanswered questions I think in most people’s minds around where things like inflation are going to go over the next little while.”
Perhaps the best part of the meeting was a presentation by Bank of Canada governor, Mark Carney, on the bank’s overview of global and Canadian economies along with national inflation. Carney also took the time to raise concern about that the rising personal debt levels and the so-called U.S. fiscal cliff are the most immediate threats to the national economy.
