Retailers use the Temporary Foreign Worker Program because they often don’t have a choice and certainly never to exclude #Canadian workers. RCC is concerned with the coming changes to the program as they risk making it harder to fill critical jobs. We wrote to Minister Randy Boissonnault to flag retailers’ challenges and to put forward practical solutions. RCC will continue our work to ensure employers have access to the programs and tools they need to run their businesses. https://lnkd.in/g3nkeb62 #retail #TFW
