Fraser has until September 8 to put forth a plan on the six points raised in the motion:
giving more weight to in-Canada work experience under economic immigration programs and expanding eligible occupational categories;
examining evidence from other federal immigration programs;
incorporating data on labour market and skills shortages to base immigrant selection on persistent labour gaps;
encouraging immigrant retention in smaller communities and Francophone immigration outside Quebec;
identifying mechanisms to reach quicker to changes in labour market needs and regional economic priorities; and
specifically consider occupations and essential services such as health services, caregivers, agriculture, manufacturing, service, trades, and transportation.
