What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The government of Alberta is seeking a mandate to change immigration policy, specifically regarding temporary foreign workers. Minister Joseph Schow stated the changes would allow the provincial government to adjust the number of temporary foreign workers and require them to pay for some education and healthcare costs. A recent Ipsos Reid poll indicated that over 60 per cent of Albertans plan to vote yes on the five immigration questions on the ballot.
