Moe exploring Quebec-style control over immigration, taxes

Moe told reporters on Wednesday that he wants the province to have more “autonomy” over how many people are admitted through different immigration classes, as well as over the skills selection process. He said Saskatchewan needs new tools to help achieve his goal of growing the population to 1.4 million over the next decade.

“That’s unprecedented growth in this province, over the history of this province, and if we’re going to do that, we need to think outside the box,” he said.

The economic and family classes are the immigration areas Moe says he’s most interested in. He said few people will choose to move to Saskatchewan if they can’t bring their families with them, though he did not commit to exactly how the proportions between the two classes should change.

“The goal is not to say what the percentages would be. The goal is to have the flexibility to make the percentages work for the people and the industries in this province,” he said.
