Feds can’t — or won’t — say how many illegal workers found at job sites

Subhead:The federal government is refusing to disclose basic information about inspections to root out illegal workers, claiming it doesn’t track the data in a usable way.# The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) admitted it cannot provide details on how many workplace inspections uncovered illegal workers over the past five years, including on construction sites in Edmonton, in a response to an Order Paper Question from Conservative MP Kerry Diotte. Holy cow: the percentage of non-permanent residents as a portion of the population was 2.5% in 2022. It's now 7.26%. @CostasMenegakis asks @LenaMetlegeDiab if her Immigration Ministry is the human resources department for Tim Hortons. pic.twitter.com/O6qGoYqDhj — Sheila Gunn Reid (@SheilaGunnReid) December 4, 2025
