Good. If a company is going to use TFWs, which should only be allowed after proving they can’t find local workers, they should have to pay them the same wages they pay Canadians.

This program is another factor in suppressed wages and increased housing costs. I can’t blame a foreign worker for wanting a better life, but I can blame our government for lowering our standard of living. A standard of living I would like all immigrants to enjoy as well.
