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.

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.
