“Young Canadians cannot find jobs. Yet the minister is approving 250,000 new work permits for foreign workers and international students. How many of them will work at Tim Hortons?”
“Mr. Chair, I will take that as her saying she will not cancel the permits and that Tim Hortons will continue to get TFW permits. It also claims that it is committed to hiring locally, but then admitted it could include non-citizens on foreign student visas. The minister is approving 250,000 new TFW and foreign student work permits this year during the middle of a youth jobs crisis. How many of those workers will be employed by Tim Hortons?”
