Judicial Review: Tumbler Ridge

Human Resources Minister Diane Finley Dept: The two unions that brought the case are pressing for an injunction that would stop any more workers from coming to the Murray River coal mine near Tumbler Ridge about a dozen recently arrived until there has been a judicial review of how they were hired, according to Globe and Mail. Once he establishes if we are allowed to even be discussing this with the courts, then I think he s concerned enough to make sure that the company and the government take a look at making sure that there is not an influx of workers in the interim until all of the decisions that have been put to the HRSDC have been decided, Lee Loftus, president of BC Building Trades said outside of court and in announcing the review of the Temporary Foreign Worker Program on Nov. 8, Human Resources Minister Diane Finley said litigation could impede this work and lead to court battles rather than a genuine fix. In Federal Court on Wednesday, Judge Douglas Campell gave the parties until Friday to come up with arguments and information about standing in the case. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
