Temporary foreign workers taking jobs where Canadians available: HRSDC
A cabinet minister in the Harper government was warned two years ago
that jobs were going to temporary foreign workers even in areas where
there were Canadians available to do them, according to internal
documents.
In notes prepared for then-Human Resources Minister Diane Finley, HRSDC warned of a "disconnect between the Temporary Foreign Worker program” and Employment Insurance payouts.
“Evidence suggests that, in some instances, employers are hiring temporary foreign workers in the same occupation and location as Canadians who are collecting EI regular benefits,” the document stated.
It was evidently prepared by HRSDC ahead of a meeting between Finley and P.E.I. Innovation Minister Allan Roach in May, 2012.
The documents were obtained by the NTFW.ca blog, which campaigns against the TFW program.
Though the documents appear to be genuine government materials, HuffPost Canada was not able to independently confirm their authenticity.
