Premier Jim Prentice says time is a critical factor in solving the temporary foreign worker shortage.
Prentice says he doesn’t believe the problem lies with Alberta business people trying to underpay.
He explains the employers he’s met across our province just need bodies to fill jobs.
Prentice will be meeting with Prime Minister Stephen Harper soon to discuss changes to the TFW program.
He says rule changes are starting to affect business in rural areas, as more people become concerned about a worker shortage.
