“The government let in over 170,000 foreign workers in the last year. These jobs were supposed to be temporary, but the program is now out of control. When will the government rein it in?”
“Mr. Speaker, young Canadians do appreciate the Canada summer jobs, but it does not omit the fact that this government let in over 170,000 foreign workers in the last four quarters. These programs were meant to be temporary, but under this government, they have become permanent and unchecked. The Globe and Mail calls it an “enduring problem” created by Ottawa’s overreliance on foreign workers. Why has this government let the temporary foreign worker program spiral out of control, and when will it finally rein it in?”
