Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre called on the federal government to scrap the temporary foreign worker program, and create a separate immigration stream for farm workers under the Seasonal Agricultural Worker Program. Poilievre claims the TFW program has made it harder for young people to find work, but economists are pushing back on that assessment. So what are the facts about the TFW program and what kinds of reforms should be looked at? Just Asking was joined by Armine Yalnizyan, an economist and the Atkinson Fellow on the Future of Workers, and Amanda Aziz, a staff lawyer at the Migrant Workers Centre in B.C.
