The Seasonal Agricultural Workers Program (SAWP) is currently under review, this program decides the conditions under which thousands of foreign agricultural workers will work and live in our country.

The team of Conseil Migrant and the signers of this petition want to ensure that the foreign agricultural workers who come to Canada to work are treated with respect and dignity and that the program is amended to achieve this.

While the SAWP has been meeting the needs of the agricultural industry for decades, it has placed workers in a perpetual state of disadvantage, vulnerable to abuse and mistreatment.

The COVID-19 pandemic revealed how essential these individuals are to Canada’s food system, but also to what extent they struggle to assert their rights in the workplace.
