The federal government has failed to collect almost 40 per cent of the fines levied on employers for violating the rules of the Temporary Foreign Worker Program, a Globe and Mail analysis has found.
Since 2017, federal inspectors have penalized nearly a thousand companies that rely on foreign workers, imposing more than $11.8-million in fines for workplace infractions.
The fines are in no way a deterrent, just the cost of doing business.
