Foreign Worker and Employment Minister Jason Kenney

Employment Minister Jason Kenney: The Liberals have in recent days been trying to embarrass Employment Minister Jason Kenney by citing letters from three Conservative MPs that raised concerns with their own government temporary foreign workers program. , according to Winnipeg Free Press. "His own leader asked us to overturn the refusal of a temporary foreign worker application by one of his favourite restaurants in Montreal," Kenney said in response to a question from John McCallum, the Liberal immigration critic. The political brawl over temporary foreign workers turned into a war of written words Thursday as partisan opponents brandished one another damning letters in the House of Commons in an effort to discredit their rivals. Kenney fired back Thursday, introducing a 2009 letter from Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau in which he seeks a work permit for a Chinese chef at a Canadian restaurant popular with his father, the late Pierre Trudeau.
