Yes. It is very important that both parties agree on the fact that the permanent residence criteria in many cases exclude people who ordinarily do this kind of unspecialized work.
We are talking about working conditions and the status of agricultural workers. Employers most for the most part behave properly, but when they don't, the fact that the workers are seasonal and they really want to be hired back the next year keeps them from filing complaints. I have conducted interviews with a number of agricultural workers, and they told me the simply could not imagine filing a complaint with the Commission des normes du travail or the CSST. They believed it was extremely difficult. I think only one worker has succeeded in doing this in Quebec.
The fact that these people are afraid of not getting hired back the next year and that recruiting for all of the employers is done by the same person is a real barrier. Even if a majority of employers behave properly, the ones whose conduct is unacceptable can be prevented from continuing to act as they do by giving these workers permanent status.
