UNSPLASH - The Labourers’ International Union of North America in 2021/2022 released a report entitled The Political Economy of the TFWP and the IMP in Canada: Modern Slavery, Construction Cycles and National Output .
As the Liberal cabinet launches this policy shift, a United Nations report was released that describes the TFWP as a breeding ground for modern slavery. The TFWP and the International Mobility Program are the legal framework used to regulate migrant workers in the labour force. However, public debate on immigration policy ignores the IMP. In addition, it fails to discuss the impact of these programs on major industrial sectors, including construction.
The number of temporary residents increased at exponential rates, under Stephen Harper’s Conservative government . Prior to the 2015 federal election, the Liberal opposition said the rapid growth of the TFWP represented the failure of the Conservative government. After winning the election, the Liberal government defended and adopted the Conservative’s immigration policy.
The Conservatives’ policy reforms in 2014 were used to crack down on the TFWP, while continuing to expand the little-known IMP. Liberal and Conservative policy established the migrant labour force as a structural feature of the national economy. The IMP and TFWP have made it easier for contractors to profit from the unpaid labour of migrant workers on major construction projects.
