Kelly McCauley Conservative
“The government knows some building projects it funds are using illegal and trafficked workers instead of Canadian workers. When will the government stop funding these projects and make sure the jobs go to Canadian trades workers?”
“Mr. Speaker, it has been well over a year since the Liberal government received evidence that federally funded infrastructure projects were using illegal and trafficked labour, violating funding agreements and leaving legitimate trades workers on the sidelines, unemployed. The Liberal response since then has been crickets. When will the Liberals stop funding projects that are using illegal, trafficked labourers and instead ensure the work goes to legitimate Canadian trades workers?”
