Absolutely. Under the work permits, most of the time, you're supposed to be an employee. Under the temporary foreign worker program, you're supposed to be an employee. The fact is that nobody pre-qualified the employers to see that they actually hired employees and then checked up on the employer later to make sure that those people were actually paid as employees.
You're not brought in as a temporary foreign worker to work as a contractor; you work as an employee. That's clear in the work permit and it's clear in the requirements. The fact that nobody follows up on it means that it's opened up to abuse. We shouldn't have people being incorporated as employees working as drivers.
There's also the question of incorporation. The T4As will only catch those drivers who are incorporated. There are people who are operating who are not necessarily incorporated; they're being paid as a separate contractor. The T4As wouldn't necessarily catch those people, either.
