Employment Minister Jason Kenney and Immigration Minister Chris Alexander are set to reveal reforms to the Temporary Foreign Worker Program Friday. This will include making public the names of employers that have been given the green light to hire temporary foreign workers, reports the CBC.
The size and scope of the program will also reportedly be cut down.
Temporary Foreign Worker program recently created headlines, after the program was allegedly being abused by several employers including McDonald's.
Minister Kenney put a halt on the fast-food industry's access to the Temporary Foreign Worker Program.
However, in an endeavour to make the program more transparent, the government will issue the names of companies that have been allotted a permit to bring in foreign workers along with the number of workers they are allowed to bring in.
In an interaction with media, Kenney further stated that the government would impose additional sanctions on employers that abuse the program.
