Another Harper/Alexander/Kenney screw up

"The list of jobs and payments to recruiters is shocking. This was never, ever, the original intent of the TFW program. It has been totally skewed and abused by the past government.

It was never intended to be what it has essentially become - trading in human workers to keep wages low. It is either an interim, short gap method of filling gaps in the labour force, or it is an alternate and abusive, but ever so much easier form of immigration?
