Quebec and Martial Leonard

Martial Leonard: Martial Leonard says he often goes overseas to find employees willing to tackle hard, back-breaking work with shifts beginning at 1 a.m. because it is difficult to find pastry chefs in Quebec, according to CTV. Leonard said nobody from Quebec has applied for his open position, leaving him no choice but to regularly hire a few foreigners and Quebec restaurants and other businesses are frustrated the federal government has halted its temporary foreign workers program, saying Ottawa is unfairly penalizing them for abuses of the program that were found Western provinces. "I definitely need a chef but it been six, eight months that I have been looking for one," said the owner of Le Palet D'Or in Quebec City. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
