Excerpts:
....In its response released August 19th, the Conservative Government issued a sweeping blow against the hope of many foreign temporary workers including live-in caregivers.� The Government through Minister Jason Kenney of Citizenship, Immigration and Multiculturalism, outlined its strong opposition to proposed changes in the Live-in Caregiver Program...
...For us � the community - this is a time to reassert our basic demands such as to allow caregivers to come as landed immigrants without conditions; implement the �Juana Tejada Law� or the removal of the second medical exam when caregivers apply for permanent residence; make the work permit job-specific instead of employer specific; and remove the mandatory live-in requirement.� This is a time for us to insist on solid commitments from the candidates, and to make a case against political leaders who deal with us through false and broken promises.
