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...
