Atlantic Canada has traditionally been a region that is rich in labour and where public policy has focused on finding jobs for people rather than finding people for jobs. With an aging population, the out-migration of young people, and low immigration levels, our labour force is changing and we must now deal with the fact that the future prosperity of the region requires us to do more with less. The region needs to be more productive.
