Labour
During question period on labour, the Bloc Québécois asked the government to reverse a change that took effect April 1 requiring businesses to advertise jobs for eight weeks instead of four before hiring a temporary foreign worker, saying the longer wait would keep businesses in regions of Quebec from meeting contract deadlines. Liberal minister Joël Lightbound replied that the government is aware of how important temporary foreign workers are to Quebec’s regions, that as of April 1 Quebec can extend work permits by twelve months once a worker applies for permanent selection, and that Quebec businesses had asked for this measure. He also said the Conservatives want to end the program, which would hurt Quebec’s economy, and that the government is open to working on the program’s rules.Written by AI from the debate. Updated .
