As Canadian businesses try to roll with an ever-changing tariff policy south of the border, there’s another issue creating challenges at home: recent changes to Canada’s immigration policy.
“The biggest threat to our business is immigration policy, and the lack of available workers,” said Blair Hyslop, co-owner of Mrs. Dunster’s Bakery in Sussex, N.B.
In the decade since Hyslop and his wife took over the business, it’s expanded, and he wants it to keep growing. “I can find alternative markets for my business, but as I set out to double our business again in three to four years, I can’t find alternative markets for my labour.”
Maybe he should pay his workers more? Funny how that never gets a mention in these stories.
