How will the changes in immigration impact Atlantic Canada?

Today on the Insights podcast, Don and David talk with Dr. Herb Emery from the University of New Brunswick about the changes to the immigration, temporary worker and international student levels announced by the federal government.  The cuts are significant and could have a big impact on Atlantic Canada.  The conversation covers a wide range of topics, from the importance of setting a population growth target to the implications in rural Atlantic Canada and the many communities that have been focused on immigration to help meet workforce demand.  Will the cuts be necessary to address concerns, or will they return the region to population decline?  Listen to this week's episode to find out.
