Labour Market and Employment Minister Jason Kenney

Employment Minister Jason Kenney: Kenney cited growing research that the program has distorted the labour market, keeping wages virtually frozen in Albertas food-services sector, even at a time when the cost of living has jumped dramatically in that booming region, according to The Star. We want to prevent that from spreading to other sectors and regions and Employment Minister Jason Kenney is pushing ahead with a dramatic overhaul to the temporary foreign worker program, undeterred by complaints from business groups that the changes go too far. Those are the distortions we want to prevent, Kenney told reporters in Toronto after a Skills Summit brought together business groups, union leaders, and academics. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
