  • For Immediate Release March 11, 2016 Ottawa Should Say “YES!” To
    For Immediate Release March 11, 2016 Ottawa should say “YES!” to Nova Scotia’s immigration request Halifax Chamber of Commerce disappointed feds cutting number of immigrants by more than 20 per cent News that the federal government is cutting the number of immigrants coming to Nova Scotia under the provincial nominee program is disappointing and surprising, according to the Halifax Chamber of Commerce. “Nova Scotia needs more immigrants, not fewer immigrants,” said Robert Batherson, Chair of the Board of Directors of the Halifax Chamber of Commerce. “We urge the federal government to reconsider its refusal of Nova Scotia’s request, stop the cuts planned for this year and say yes to bringing more new Canadians to our city and our province.” In September 2015, the Government of Canada approved the latest request from Nova Scotia to increase the number of new immigrants coming to the province through the nominee program from 1,050 to 1,350. Canada’s Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Minister John McCallum reportedly informed Nova Scotia Immigration Minister Lena Diab that the number for 2016 is going back to 1,050 – a cut of more than 20 per cent. In October 2015, Minister Diab announced that she was going to ask Ottawa to permanently remove the cap on the nominee program. Premier Stephen McNeil also raised the same question with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in January. The Halifax Chamber of Commerce echoed this call in meetings with Finance Minister Bill Morneau and Treasury Board Minister Scott Brison. “The Halifax Chamber of Commerce is a strong supporter of the work done by Premier McNeil and Minister Diab to convince federal governments – past and present – to ensure Nova Scotia gets our fair share of new Canadians,” added Batherson.

Lazier was born in 1708 and left France for America during the time of the extreme persecutions were being inflicted on the Huguenots. Settling presumably at Yonkers, near New York, he married an English woman whose Christian name was Maria. They had at least one son, called Nicholas Jacobus Lazier; but whether there were other children cannot now be ascertained, although the assumption is that there were, as other Lazier descendants have been traced living in the vicinity of Yonkers. Jacobus N. Lazier died in 1792, and was survived twelve years by his wife, who died at the age of eighty-eight years. "Nicholas Jacobus Lazier arrived in Canada on November 6th in the year before that of his father's death.
