The article discusses the market for skilled workers and the immigration policy in Canada. Rodney MacDonald is the only provincial immigration minister in Atlantic Canada. His new position can be seen as a sign that provinces across the country are taking on a more significant role in how immigration policy operates in Canada. Manitoba and Quebec, in particular, already exert considerable control over their own immigration policies. One of the most pressing immigration challenges is the fact that 76% of all newcomers have chosen to settle in the three major urban centres: Montreal, Toronto and Vancouver. The so-called MTV Problem has put pressure on the three big cities to integrate a large number of immigrants while denying most other areas of the country the benefits of an expanding pool of labour that immigration can bring. It seems clear that the federal immigration system is crumbling under the weight of its own processes and internal politics. And since no immediate solutions to these problems are in the offing from Ottawa, it is now up to the provinces to chart their own course. The key to provincial plans for taking a greater role in immigration is the provincial nominee program. The innovation allows provinces to select their own immigration candidates separate from the backlogged pool of permanent visa applicants overseen by Ottawa. The selection criteria can be based on the unique circumstances of the provincial labour market or other factors the individual provinces find desirable. The federal government's involvement is limited to the security, health and documentation checks that are standard for all immigrants. That makes the process considerably faster and allows the provinces to make their case directly with potential immigrants to avoid the MTV problem.

This article focuses on Canada and the budget proposed by Finance Minister Ralph Goodale. Last week, after Goodale tabled this year's fiscal blueprint, it was tough to find anyone peddling a convincing rant among the lobbyists and special interest groups camped out in the annual budget-reaction bazaar. Amid the sunny spending promises and surplus projections, Goodale slipped in a bit of anxiety: America is not what it once was. How much do the American elephant's ailing economic fundamentals threaten the fiscally healthier Canadian mouse? "The American situation," Goodale warned in his otherwise celebratory speech, "could lead to higher interest rates, slower U.S. growth and a further depreciation in the American dollar -- any of which could negatively affect us here in Canada." While Goodale acknowledged the dangers posed by the precarious U.S. situation, his working assumption is that this year and next will be good times. Other key budget measures can also be viewed through the lens of the Canada-U.S. relationship, economic and otherwise.
