Don Butler: A flood of temporary foreign workers could mean lower wages, fewer jobs for Canadians |
||
| “If they didn’t have the option of bringing these temporary foreign workers in, presumably they wouldn’t leave the jobs vacant forever,” says Christopher Worswick, an economics professor at Carleton University. “They might start raising the wage offers.” | |||

Murray Brewster: Defence officials dismiss budget officer’s cost warnings on navy ships |

The recipient of the 2013 Bissett Distinguished Alumni Award is Sean Moore. HERE |
