Foreign Workers Program and Federal Government

federal government: Its been two weeks since the federal government suspended its temporary foreign workers program in the food services industry amid allegations of exploitive labour practices across the country and accusations that immigrants are displacing Canadians who want to work. , according to The Telegram. The federal government, based upon their assessment of the data and information that came forward to the minister was so severe he decided to suspend the program, and my point to him is fine enough, suspend the ones who have abused it, but dont negatively impact the ones that havent. Its not fair to the rest. Thats my opinion, he said. You take the fast food industry in Labrador West. It is going to be severely and negatively affected because of one major player right across Canada including here in this province that has abused the system in my opinion, Kevin O Brien told Friday afternoon. O Brien, and the Canadian Federation of Independent Businesses as well as some other provinces, are lobbying Ottawa to reinstate the program until after a review of it is done.
