Immigration, Nurse Retention in Alberta, "The Travel Lady”, Lesley Keyter

‌According to Federal Immigration Minister Marc Miller, Canada is seeing an alarming trend of more international students claiming asylum. Is Canada’s immigration system ‘broken’ and what needs to be done to reform how Canada handles immigration? We tackle the topic with Mercedes Stephenson, Global News Ottawa Bureau Chief & Host of the West Block.   Next, close to fifty-percent of new nurses in Alberta are leaving the profession before the age of 35. Why are we having so much trouble retaining nurses and how do we compare to other provinces? We get details on a new report on the topic from Krystle Wittevrongel, Director of Research at independent public policy think tank ‘M.E.I.’ Finally, she’s back from a Las Vegas travel conference just in time for her regular segment on “Mornings with Sue and Andy”. We catch up with “The Travel Lady”, Lesley Keyter, for details on the steps being taken by the industry to remain sustainable.
