Given the demographic characteristics and future population growth in Canada, is there a role for government immigration policy to address the labor shortages in certain sectors of Canadian businesses? Explain clearly, logically and carefully.arrow_forwardMy perspective is that the interests should be the paramount concern of government trade poly between producers and consumers for different reasons. The key interests for the producers would be the economic growth and maintaining a competitive domestic industry. These two ideas are very important for business and their employees because these two parts are the key for how producers will make enough money for their company. In addition, rules that will support a competitive domestic industry will help reserve jobs and will still have competition. Consumers are very important because they will benefit from the competitive trade that is out there for good competitive prices. The whole goal of consumers is that they make trade very beneficial, so the interests should be towards the consumers as well. please help reply to this discussion post, needs to be 150 words at leastarrow_forward
