Thank you.
There have been concerns raised about workers' exploitation through employer-specific or closed work permits. A report published by this committee back in 2021 noted that avoiding mistreatment and overwork is difficult for those with closed work permits, because they don't have the power to move around to another employer that would provide better working conditions. These workers are also unable to control their workload by finding additional work at other places later in the season.
What is currently being done to support TFWs with closed work permits, and where are the current gaps in enforcement for employers related to working conditions?
