Submission to the Standing Committee on Finance and Economic Affairs Review of Bill 79: Working for Workers Act, 2023

April 18, 2023

This joint submission from the Migrant Workers Alliance for Change, the Workers’ Action Centre and Parkdale Community Legal Services only addresses Schedule 1 of Bill 79 dealing with changes to the Employment Protections for Foreign Nationals Act, 2009 (EPFNA). In it, we make five main recommendations to the Ontario government on how to improve this law to protect low-income, migrant workers. These include implementing the recruiter licensing regime promised in the Working for Workers Act, 2021 and increasing the proactive enforcement of both EPFNA and the Employment Standards Act.
