Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is calling on the Liberals to scrap the temporary foreign worker program and to stop issuing visas under the program.
Poilievre argues a jobs crisis among young people has been caused in part by corporations hiring foreigners who work for less than Canadian citizens.
He is calling out specific fast-food chains he claims are hiring foreigners over locals, including through job postings that call specifically for temporary foreign workers.
Poilievre accuses the government of creating conditions that frustrate the efforts of young people to start their working lives.
Poilievre also says Prime Minister Mark Carney has not lived up to his promise to launch major infrastructure projects, saying the government has been calling meetings instead of getting things built.
He also predicts Carney will have a much higher deficit than his predecessor Justin Trudeau in the budget his government is expected to table next month.
