Human Resources Minister Diane Finley: Foreign Worker

Federal Court Dept: A lawyer told Federal Court on Friday he's planning to apply for a contempt-of-court hearing against Human Resources Minister Diane Finley after her department failed to fulfil a Dec. 7 disclosure order related to foreign worker permits, according to CTV. Finley's department issued 201 foreign worker permits to HD Mining to bring Chinese miners to work in the Murray River coal mine near Tumbler Ridge, B.C., 140 kilometres west of Grande Prairie, Alta and vANCOUVER -- Two unions challenging Canada's temporary foreign worker program want a judge to order a federal minister to personally appear in court to explain why the government hasn't handed over documents linked to a controversial northern British Columbia mine. We say the minister clearly has the ability to enforce the order or she must, otherwise the integrity of the system is going to break down, said lawyer Charles Gordon. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
