Niagara farmers oppose Poilievre’s plan to end temporary worker program, citing risks to crop harvests and supply chains.
Niagara farmers oppose Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre’s plan to end Canada’s temporary foreign worker program, warning it would harm fruit and vegetable production.
They say the program is vital for harvesting delicate crops, as the work is too demanding for automation and relies on experienced, long-term workers.
Industry leaders caution that eliminating the program without a clear replacement could cause labor shortages, disrupt supply chains, and increase reliance on imports.
While the Conservatives argue the program displaces Canadian workers and should be replaced with a targeted agricultural system, farmers and advocates stress the need for policies that balance labor needs with worker protections, especially given risks like heat stress and poor working conditions.
