In the last two weeks, 80% of my meetings were with people unemployed and looking for work. These are Ph.D.s, lawyers, and one nurse who had graduated but could not afford the $500 for the exam, all looking for work, in need of help to feed their families.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3626315\" data-originallang=\"en\">When will the government start addressing the needs of new Canadians?</p>",
