Immigration
During question period, members questioned the immigration minister about changes to rules around temporary foreign workers. Conservative MP Michelle Rempel Garner said the changes remove what she called the last safeguard against employer immigration fraud and favour businesses over Canadian workers. Liberal MP Leslie Church replied that the Conservatives’ characterization was inaccurate, saying use of the temporary foreign worker program fell 50% over the past year, that such workers make up under 1% of the workforce, and that the changes are aimed at bringing in highly skilled workers to fill urgent job needs.Written by AI from the debate.
