e-1508 (Employment)
E-petition
Initiated by John Nicholby from Calgary, Alberta
Original language of petition: English
Petition to the Government of Canada
Whereas:
- The people of Canada deserve immigration policies that put the interests of Canadian workers first;
- The Temporary Foreign Worker Program has too often been used to undercut Canadian wages and has generated horrific stories of worker abuse; and
- By modifying the program rather than scrapping it, employers faced with a genuine labour shortage can still have access to needed workers.
We, the undersigned, citizens of Canada, call upon the Government of Canada to change the Temporary Foreign Worker Program so that employers must pay temporary foreign workers 25% more than the local prevailing wage, as of January 1, 2019.
