A coalition of Alberta business groups is calling on the federal and provincial governments to work with industry to address labour shortages in western Canada.

"Every sector of the economy will be hit hard by a shortage of workers," said coalition spokesperson Richard Truscott, Alberta director of the Canadian Federation of Independent Businesses.

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

This shortage of labour will slow economic growth, costing jobs and reducing government revenue, said business groups.

"We need to recognize that we are competing not just with the United States, not just with western Canada, we are competing globally for a small pool of skilled workers out there so we need the system to become much more responsive and streamlined to the needs of the economy, 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.
