Jason Kenney: Foreign Workers

Foreign Workers Dept: But he acknowledges mistakes may have been made in the case involving a Chinese-owned mining company in B.C. that's now before the courts, according to CBC. "Let me say categorically we completely oppose the idea of facilitating access to large-scale temporary foreign workers for developments owned by foreign companies," he said and immigration Minister Jason Kenney says his government's approvals of foreign investment deals are "absolutely not" contingent on giving foreign companies the green light to bring in temporary foreign workers. In a year-end interview with News, Kenney tried to debunk any perception that the government's decision to allow deals such as Chinese state oil firm CNOOC's takeover of Alberta's Nexen Inc. is somehow tied to approving foreign workers.
