Saskatchewan's finance minister wants to talk about the labour force when he meets with his federal, provincial and territorial counterparts.
Ken Krawetz says Saskatchewan is concerned about a strategy to get more workers.
Krawetz is hoping to talk about how a new immigration program aimed at getting skilled workers into Canada faster will help a labour shortage in Saskatchewan.
The provincial government says at least 60,000 more workers will be needed by 2020.
The federal program is to start Jan. 2. and will accept a maximum of 3,000 applications in the first year.
The finance ministers meeting Monday is to focus on Canadian and global economic issues, including a labour shortage and improving Canada's retirement income system.
