Poilievre calls for Liberals to end temporary foreign worker program

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre at a press conference in Mississauga, Ont., on Wednesday. He argues that a jobs crisis among young people has been caused partly by corporations hiring foreigners instead of Canadian citizens.

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is calling on the Liberals to scrap the temporary foreign worker program and to stop issuing visas under the program.

Poilievre argues a jobs crisis among young people has been caused in part by corporations hiring foreigners who work for less than Canadian citizens.

He is calling out specific fast-food chains he claims are hiring foreigners over locals, including through job postings that call specifically for temporary foreign workers.

Poilievre accuses Liberals of allowing temporary foreign workers take jobs from Canadia
