Topic 3: The Government Needs to Do More to Regulate the Private Sector Introduction: Thesis: While the Canadian government has been instrumental in preventing abuses of labor, some of the polices enacted to address shortage of labor in the private sector, particularly, the Temporary Foreign Worker Program, have legal gaps that expose employees, migrant employees, in this case, to poor working conditions and various forms of exploitation; as situation that makes it imperative for all levels of the government to do more to regulate the private sector to safeguard the interests of migrant workers. Paragraph 1: Background on the Temporary Foreign Worker Program Topic sentence: The Temporary Foreign Worker program is one of the Canadian government's tools to address labor shortages in the nation. ➢ Point 1: The program's main objective is to fill temporary labor shortages in certain sectors and regions, hence the emphasis on temporary terms (https://www.oecdilibrary.org/sites/4abab00d-en/index.html?itemId=/content/publication/4abab00d-en). ➢ Point 2: In 2017 alone, around 214,000 temporary labor migrants were recruited, and it is estimated that temporary workers account for 1.1% of Canada's labor force (https://www.oecd-ilibrary.org/sites/4abab00den/index.html?itemId=/content/publication/4abab00d-en). The majority of these migrants help fill low wage occupations in precarious sectors such as agriculture, domestic work, hospitality, food services, and construction (https://doi.org/10.22329/wyaj.v34i2.5019) ➢ Point 3: A labor market test is required to warrant an employer to recruit temporary migrants. An LMIA (Labor Market Impact Assessment) test is conducted to assess whether the employer can recruit locally, thus verifying the existence of a genuine need for a temporary migrant (https://www.oecd-ilibrary.org/sites/4abab00den/index.html?itemId=/content/publication/4abab00d-en). ➢ Point 4: The work permit issued is typically employer-specific. An employer-specific permit holder can only work for that specific employer, at a specified duration, and the location specified in the permit (https://www.oecd-ilibrary.org/sites/4abab00den/index.html?itemId=/content/publication/4abab00d-en). Paragraph 2: Temporary citizen status and access to federal services Topic sentence: The recruitment of the migrants under temporary terms precludes them from citizenship status, which then denies them access to key federal services and essential rights protection. ➢ Point 1: First, the temporary migrants do not have access to a permanent resident. Most temporary migrants fall under the low skilled category that is denied access to permanent residence accessed by high skilled immigrants (https://ccrweb.ca/en/migrant-workersissues). ➢ Point 2: Temporary migrant workers do not have access to social support services. They have inadequate access to health services and information on the various services entitled to them. This is despite them paying taxes and contributing to social benefits schemes. Some provinces have started to offer these social support services, but still, they are not migrant-friendly. Others have no migrant services at all (https://ccrweb.ca/en/migrantworkers-issues) ➢ Point 3: Migrant workers have various barriers that deny them access to justice. On paper, migrant workers possess similar employment-related rights as permanent citizens. In practice, the core issue is that migrant workers rarely access these rights, and they have little recourse in challenging these violations (https://doi.org/10.22329/wyaj.v34i2.5019). Paragraph 3: Work Permit Terms Topic sentence: Employer-specific work permits granted to temporary migrants that bind them to their employer expose them to exploitation. ➢ Point 1: It is difficult for temporary migrants to escape abusive situations due to the work permit terms that tie them to a specific employer. Under the permit, they cannot look for another job or work in a different location. Consequently, the migrants are, therefore, fully dependent on their employer for their right to stay in Canada, employment, and other aspects such as housing (https://www.amazon.com/Farm-Workers-WesternCanada-Injustices/dp/177212138X) ➢ Point 2: There are stories of migrant workers being subjected to poor working conditions and inhumane treatment. For example, the seasonal agriculture workers housed by their employers have reported living in overcrowded bunkhouses that lack adequate amenities. Other complaints have been related to long working hours with no overtime pay, numerous workplace injuries, and contract agreement violations. With constant deportation threats, it is hard for the migrants to resist (https://lawofwork.ca/migrantworker-lay/). Conclusion ➢ Restate thesis ➢ Conclude works. Of course, ask yourself too if you need more info to explain hwo the system works (for example, how do foreign workers apply or know about it?) You have left them out of the explanation here - and since they are important to your argument, you will need to talk about this.

The Government Needs to Do More to Regulate the Private Sector
Canada's economy is modeled around the principles of open and free markets and
economic freedom. There is less government interference in economic activity, and instead, there
is a reliance on the demand and supply laws in dictating the market. The main consequence has
been the rise of a robust private sector that has significantly contributed to the country's
economic growth and the citizenry's wellbeing. However, the truth is that an unregulated system
is bound to create a power imbalance, and self-regulation is impractical in maintaining fair play.
Therefore, Canada has enacted a strong regulatory framework to guard against the private
sector's excesses and ensure that individual rights are upheld. Therefore, strong laws and policies
enhance fairness in different areas, such as labor, environment, and product standards. However,
despite this effort and success in creating a balanced market ecosystem, there are still arising
issues that warrant further regulation of the private sector. One such arising problem is in the
labor sector. While the Canadian government has been instrumental in preventing abuses of
labor, some of the policies enacted to address the shortage of labor in the private sector,
particularly the Temporary Foreign Worker Program, have legal gaps that expose employees,
migrant employees, in this case, to poor working conditions and various forms of exploitation; a
situation that makes it imperative for all levels of the government to do more to regulate the
private sector to safeguard the interests of migrant workers.

Background on the Temporary Foreign Worker Program
The Temporary Foreign Worker program is one of the tools to address labor shortages in
Canada. Notably, as the OECD observes, immigration has been crucial to Canada's heritage and
nation-building (30). As a settlement country, similar to the US and New Zealand, there has been
a reliance on labor migrants to fill the nation's human resources and skills gap. Additionally, the
nation's aging population and its sparse population means that the country relies on immigration
to access a young pool of workers and to replace those exiting the system. Overall, the OECD
estimates that about 22% of Canada's population is foreign-born (30). The nation's labor
migrants' annual uptake stands at 0.8% of its total population, making it highest compared to
other OECD nations.
Therefore, it is this recognition of the crucial role played by labor migration on the
nation's economy that has shaped Canada's immigration policies. The country has looked to
diversify its labor flow streams to ensure that its labor market needs...
