Manitoba government is now working on a program called a model for the rest of the country. The working condition and health condition of the temporary foreign workers have been serious concerns. The reason why it’s hard to monitor is that no one is really taking responsibility of it. In 2009, Manitoba’s government passed Worker Recruitment and Protection Act (WRAPA), and they centres it. I think it’s a really efficient way of taking care the problems above. It requires the local businesses must register their temporary foreign workers with the government, so that the inspectors can check on their working conditions to make sure the workers are being treated appropriately and fairly.Manitoba’s government is trying to set themselves as a model and let other provinces’ governments to follow their actions. It’s hard to achieve, but it’s doable.
Nowadays, Canadian people talks a lot about the working condition and health condition of the temporary foreign workers. I think if the government of every other province could address the issue, and improve those’s workers’ safety problem and working condition, then “working in Canada” would sounds more attractive to people who seeks job abroad all around the world. Thus, an increase in production efficiency level would raise.
