CFIB president Dan Kelly said the Temporary Foreign Worker Program has become an easy target amid concerns about the youth job market. Cutting the program doesn’t hand jobs to youth, it creates staffing crises and puts even more Canadian jobs in jeopardy.” The largest group of temporary foreign workers is employed in agricultural harvesting, according to the report. More than half of the small firms using temporary foreign workers said the program had helped them stay open and continue employing Canadians. Most employers are limited to having temporary foreign workers fill 10 per cent of their low-wage positions.
