Over the five years since it was established, Logan told me, the CICC has done little to enforce the code of conduct that’s supposed to deter the kind of malpractice Bansal and Mac’s were engaged in.
This right here is the core of the problem, and it isn’t unique to the TFW program. We write these carefully crafted laws and then don’t fund enforcement.
I think we ought to just drop the program. It doesn’t help Canadians (besides business owners who want cheap labour) and we clearly can’t make it live up to our aspirations.
Agreed. Canada seems to have an issue where we pretend we can do / accommodate far more than our infrastructure is actually able.
Auditor General report noting the Foreign student program had 75,000 cases of alleged fraud per year, while only being able to investigate 1000-2000 cases per year, is another easy recent example. Healthcare another. And as our political system inches towards a more ‘two party’ setup, where one party blindly promises the impossible and the other promises to destroy social supports to “Make Canada Great Again”, we’re on a not great trajectory.
