Quebec entrepreneurs have launched a $300 million lawsuit against the Federal Government over plans to reduce the number of temporary foreign workers from 7% to 5% of Canada's population.

The 23 business owners claim these reductions threaten their financial viability, highlighting a critical dependency on foreign labour. Their case emphasizes that despite offering competitive wages—including $25/hour training positions—Canadian workers are reluctant to fill these roles, particularly in manual labour and night shift positions.

This legal challenge highlights the complex reality of Canada's labour market, particularly amid rising unemployment rates among young Canadians.
