‘We have to start really focusing on our own, the people that we have in our communities,’ said one MLA
Some Indigenous MLAs in the N.W.T. are calling for a bigger push in the territory to hire Indigenous workers — and some suggest that could involve trimming the number of people accepted in the N.W.T.’s nominee program.
The nominee program began in 2009 and helps immigrants move to the territory to work for local employers, while also providing a path to immigration.
