That has now become doctors. I guess the cons felt that the Canadian public would be more comfortable with a bunch more doctors driving cabs than welders tearing up Fort McMurray. Predictable - tell 'em what they want to hear, but never tell the whole truth.<BR/>The other issue is the backlog. They still trot out the 900,000 applicant backlog as another justification, yet the bill does nothing to address those currently in queue. It will only affect applications received after, what, February 28, 2009 or something like that (too lazy to look it up this early).Canajunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17529505799866207528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1892827037183316611.post-8699253593483980802008-04-12T22:38:00.000-04:002008-04-12T22:38:00.000-04:00Hey good post, interesting backgroundthe proposed ...Hey good post, interesting background<BR/><BR/>the proposed change gives far too much power to a minister/party of any stripe current or future, has been my opinion of this thing <BR/>now - after your post - I have a good grasp of why the timing (get it done for Alberta before they might lose an election) and method:budget bill!
