Immigration Policy: Dangerous Path

Migrant Workers Dept: What we are seeing now is a shift and expansion of the temporary foreign workers program from agriculture and live-in care to food industry, restaurants, hospitality and tourism, said Sonia Singh of the Migrant Workers Alliance for Change , the coalition to be launched this week, according to The Star. Despite the recent economic downturn, the number of temporary foreign workers in Canada has skyrocketed from 160,908 in 2006 to 283,096 in 2010 and foreign farm workers, nannies and other temporary labourers in Canada are forming a united front to fight for better treatment by employers. We are seeing worsening work conditions for these workers. It sets a dangerous path to have our immigration policy based on temporary work. As reported in the news.
