Good morning. Welcome to our witnesses.
Any one of you can answer my questions. My first one is about temporary foreign workers. Problems have come up for individuals under this program. Employers have threatened some workers or overworked or exploited them. The foreign workers don't feel they can speak up because they'll get expelled from the country, or the employer will say, “If you don't do what I ask, I'm going to ask Immigration Canada to revoke your temporary foreign worker permit.”
Has anyone denounced these issues to your department? If so, do you have any safeguards in place? Have there been any changes in your program to protect these often vulnerable workers?
