Dozens of foreign workers protesting changes in P.E.I.’s immigration strategy have entered the fourth day of a hunger strike in downtown Charlottetown.
The provincial government is cutting back on the number of workers it is nominating for immigration this year, from about 2,100 to about 1,600 — with a big drop in the number of hospitality workers in particular. More than 800 were nominated last year, and the plan is to nominate just 200 this year.
