It doesn’t matter which party is in power – governments can’t help themselves when it comes to offering Canadian businesses whatever they say they need

Standing by a lectern with a sign that read “Bring Home Our Jobs,” Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre had words for both the government and for businesses that he implied were abusing Canada’s temporary foreign workers program.

“Trudeau has destroyed our entire immigration system,” he said, referring to the massive expansion of workers applying under the low-wage labour market impact assessment stream. “Our temporary foreign worker program should only be available to fill jobs that employers have proven beyond a doubt cannot be filled by Canadians,” Mr. Poilievre said. “It should never be used to bring in low-wage workers from poor countries to take jobs away from or suppress the wages of Canadian workers.”

It’s the right message, but it’s not clear why Mr. Poilievre needed to make a whole show of it.

This is not really shocking. The use, or misuse, of the temporary foreign worker program is not a Liberal or Conservative thing; as Brian Lilleyin the Toronto Sun last week, a land-surveying company owned by Liberal MP Sukh Dhaliwal hired “legal administrative assistants” through the program in 2023. Rather, it is a business thing, aided by whichever government is in power at the time.
