In all fairness laws like this have two sides.

On one side Canada wants to bring in new workers that will help build Canada's work force.

However bringing in foriegn (outside) workers, potentially means less jobs for those who are already in Canada, and the many that are unemployed.

The question then becomes do we want to bring in the best workers, or is it our duty to hire those with-in the system that need work, even though they may be less experienced or more costly.
