foreign workers: Bennett, owner of several McDonalds restaurants in St. Johns along with a raft of other businesses, has been heavily involved in this issue. Shes brought in people from other parts of the world to staff her fast-food restaurants. And in the House of Assembly, she wasnt apologizing for it. , according to The Telegram. The issue of foreign workers has been a hot-button topic in recent months, with stories emerging from across the country of businesses allegedly exploiting workers, or using them to displace Canadians. Bennett introduced a private members resolution Wednesday in the legislature calling for a registry of the companies that employ temporary foreign workers and a licensing requirement for the companies that recruit them. I am proud that I am able to bring in temporary foreign workers in management roles that could not be filled, to train my staff so they could step into those higher paying positions, Bennett said. I have long been an advocate for the rights of everyone particularly those who choose to work and live in our province which is what this private members resolution aims to do: protect everyone.
