By Matthew McCully – Among the many announcements and consultations happening this week in conjunction with the federal cabinet ministers’ retreat in Sherbrooke, local business owners got the opportunity to bend the ear of Mary Ng, Minister of Small Business and Export Promotion and Ahmed Hussen, Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship. Accompanied by Compton-Stanstead MP and Minister of International Development Marie-Claude Bibeau, a handful of business owners gathered yesterday for a discussion about the labour shortage in the area, held in Lennoxville at the offices of Global Excel. “This was our opportunity to hear directly from businesses,” commented Ng, following the meeting.
