The Alberta government is forecasting there will be 114,000 more jobs than people to fill them in coming years, he said.

The Alberta government agrees the cap on immigrant workers allowed to come to the province needs to be much higher, said Shipton.

"We will be more successful in this effort if the federal and provincial governments make the necessary changes to help employers gain access to the human resources we need,” Shipton said.
