Foreign Workers: Human Trafficking

human trafficking: In a notice on New Years Day, the government said its original proposals aimed at employers convicted of human trafficking, sexually assaulting an employee or causing the death of a worker were too rigid and cumbersome, according to 660 News. Instead, the amendments introduce other measures that achieve the objective of ensuring a safe workplace for TFWs temporary foreign workers and that allow for a more timely ability to deal with abuse, the government said and OTTAWA Labour and business stakeholders say they re baffled by the Conservative governments recent removal of provisions from its Temporary Foreign Worker Program that would have barred criminal employers from participating. And so it removed them from its crackdown on abusers of the program. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
