Federal Immigration Minister Jason Kenney: Employers

Federal Government Dept: CALGARY - The federal government is no longer allowing employers linked to the sex trade to hire strippers, escorts and massage parlour workers from outside the country, according to Winnipeg Free Press. "Why would we grant visas to girls that we have a strong suspicion are going to end up under the thumb of a criminal gang being exploited and trafficked? We're not going after the women we're protecting them from what they might not know will happen to them when they get to Canada." Federal Immigration Minister Jason Kenney speaks to reporters in Calgary on Wednesday, July 4, 2012. Kenney announced employers linked to the sex trade will no longer be able to bring in workers under the temporary worker program.
