There are a number of aspects to this issue. It is a very serious one. Often people—the temporary foreign workers, the live-in caregivers—come here from another country to fill these jobs. They're brought here under false pretence by some unscrupulous immigration consultants.
Our goal is to make sure these temporary foreign workers, whatever role they're playing, know their rights, for starters. This is why, when they arrive and we give them the work permits, they are told what their rights are. They are counselled in their home country as to what their rights are and what they can expect when they get here. Under Canadian law, they must be treated the same as any Canadian-born worker would be treated, in terms of work conditions, wages, and labour rights. All the same rules apply to them. It's incumbent upon the employers to live up to those obligations.
That being said, HRSDC is working with the provinces to develop enforcement. We've made a commitment as a government to work on this aspect with the provinces, because after all, each province has its own legislation dealing with labour law, to make sure there is enforcement, awareness, and follow-up. It would be up to the Minister of HRSDC to provide you with further details on that.
