While health-care still represents a small fraction of the overall temporary foreign worker program, federal data analyzed by CBC News shows the government greenlighted the hiring of 4,336 health-care workers last year — up from 447 such positions in 2018.

The Bank of Canada’s Tiff Macklem says the path back to the central bank’s two per cent inflation target appears close to the coveted “soft landing,” but he also warns consequences of the cooling labour market have not been spread equally.

Canada’s population of those 85 and older is expected to triple by 2073 to as many as 4.3 million people, an increase that will likely place new pressure on the country on several fronts, one demographer says.
