Labour
During oral questions on labour, Christine Normandin of the Bloc Québécois asked the government to change temporary foreign worker program rules that group Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu with Montreal, saying the region’s low unemployment and local businesses, including defence firms, justify treating it separately. Liberals replied that temporary foreign worker use is down 50% in 2025 and accounts for less than 1% of the workforce, that employment insurance is meant to serve communities across the country, and that the government is engaging with Quebec on temporary foreign workers and recognizes the need for workers in its regions.Written by AI from the debate.
