TFW Employment Minister Jason Kenney

Employment Minister Jason Kenney: But no sooner had Employment Minister Jason Kenney and Immigration Minister Chris Alexander unveiled the new-look program than it was denounced by critics who fear it could force some employers to close or cut back hours, according to CTV. "This change represents a 'gutting' of the TFW program for many in the restaurant, hotel and retail sectors and is the most small business-unfriendly move ever made by this government." - The Conservative government controversial temporary foreign worker program got another makeover Friday with limits on where low-paid hires can work and strict penalties for companies that fudge their requests for cheap help. "For a government that has made significant strides to reduce the red tape burden on small business, this is a complete 180-degree turn," said a fiery statement from Dan Kelly, president of the Canadian Federation of Independent Business.
