—an itinerant agricultural worker, and he made a living at it. Because we made it so easy for agricultural employers to get access to cheap and exploitable workers from places like Mexico, we transformed what had been an occupation that provided a living wage for Canadians into an occupation that paid so little that no Canadians wanted to do it. If we continue down this road of relying on foreign workers to supplement our market, we're going to transform many more occupations in the occupational pyramid into jobs that Canadians don't want.
