"Prentice said the new rules are making it very difficult for some businesses to fill jobs and hopes to work with Harper on a solution.

I'm wondering what the end result will be, when the workers have to return to their respective countries. At the employment rate, Alberta may not have enough workers for fast food restaurants, and retirement homes.
