Liberals Promising To Double Population Growth
Premier Graham is promising to double our population growth over the next four years if re-elected in this month's provincial election.
Graham made the pledge during a quick stop in the city -- he says our population has grown by about six thousand in the last four years and he wants to double that number.
Among other things he's promising to set up a pilot program for community based sponsorship of economic immigrants - press the Feds for a faster immigration process - and - use technology to link former New Brunswickers to employment opportunities here.
As far as a cost -- he would only say the price tag would be included when the full Liberal platform is rolled out.
