“We need Canadian businesses to invest in training and technology, not increasing their reliance on low-cost foreign labour. It's not fair to Canadians struggling to find a good job, and it's not fair to those temporary foreign workers, some of whom are being mistreated and exploited,” Trudeau stated, underlining a shift in government policy to prioritize local employment and ethical treatment of workers.
Syed Hussan criticized the government's narrative, arguing, "High unemployment, low wages and unaffordable housing are not being caused by immigrants and migrants; these are caused by employer exploitation and policy failures. Migrants build communities, and they deserve equal rights and respect, not scapegoating.” His comments highlight a call for more equitable treatment of migrant workers.
Raul Gatica from Dignidad Migrante Society emphasized the plight of temporary foreign workers, stating, "Temporary foreign workers were able to do the work that nobody wanted to do and now we are disposable. They use us and now they throw us away." His statement sheds light on the exploitation and lack of job security faced by these workers.
