“Mr. Speaker, in March, the government increased the temporary foreign worker program from 10% to 15% for thousands of work sites in remote and rural communities across Canada. At the same time, Canada lost 112,000 jobs in that same period of time and the youth unemployment rate was at 14.3%. Through my Order Paper question yesterday, we learned that the program for temporary foreign workers cost $1.6 billion with a net loss of $509 million. What will the government say to the hundreds of thousands of unemployed youth in this country when they are increasing the number of temporary foreign workers this year?”
