Bank of Canada Governor Mark Carney

Bank of Canada Governor Mark Carney: Even former Bank of Canada Governor Mark Carney recognized the very serious problems with the program in terms of its impact on the countrys labour market, wages and the economy, according to The Telegram. The program was supposed to be a last resort for employers dealing with skills shortages and used in a truly temporary fashion to fill high skill gaps until Canadians could be trained for those jobs and The Harper government has been repeatedly warned about the many perils associated with its rapid expansion of the controversial temporary foreign worker program to little or no avail. Last year Mr. Carney said: one doesnt want an over-reliance on temporary foreign workers for lower-skilled jobs which prevent the wage adjustment mechanism for making sure Canadians are paid higher wages, but also that the firms improve their productivity.
