Human Resources Minister Diane Finley: The Canadian Labour Market

The Chinese Dehua Mines Dept: Until that fanciful day arrives, let s accept that this program fills a huge void in the Canadian labour market in 2012, according to The Chronicle Herald. Human Resources Minister Diane Finley has been forced into a long-overdue review of the program by organized labour in British Columbia after a subsidiary of the Chinese Dehua Mines advertised for workers fluent in Mandarin, ignoring the requirement that efforts first be made to locate Canadian workers to fill the mines jobs and the day Canadians decide en masse that they will relocate to northern Alberta or northern British Columbia to take available jobs, we can have a proper debate in this country over the need for the Temporary Foreign Worker program. There are two other more relevant questions to debate: why has this program been left open to such obvious abuse, and why has its use accelerated so quickly under the Conservative government?
