OTTAWA — Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre says temporary foreign workers are taking jobs from young Canadians while youth unemployment is high.
Poilievre made the comment today during a press conference in Charlottetown, several days after the government released mid-year immigration data.
On Monday, Poilievre said on social media the government had exceeded caps it set for temporary worker visas, and accused the government of being “out of control” on immigration.
It's time to start NAMING AND SHAMING businesses like @TimHortons that hire foreigners for entry-level jobs that could easily be done by young Canadians.
