Labour
During question period on labour, Conservatives asked about a government change set for November 3 that they said would end the requirement for employers to prove they tried to hire a Canadian before bringing in workers from abroad, arguing this came as 68,000 Canadians lost jobs and as the Edmonton video game company BioWare closed. Liberals said the policy favours workers with Canadian work experience for high-wage jobs and simplifies hiring in fields like health care, engineering, technology and the trades, citing Canadian Chamber of Commerce support and saying the change applies to permanent residents already in Canada and cuts red tape. The immigration minister accused a Conservative member of misleading Canadians on what the measure covers.Written by AI from the debate. Updated .
