Job loss notices go out to more than 1,000 workers at Fisheries and Oceans – BC Times Colonist

And while fish farms are being quarantined, the Federal Government of Canada slashes jobs in the Fisheries.
———————————
It’s the first round of notices to go to Fisheries employees since the federal budget, but Fisheries employees also faced a major wave last December when more than 400 letters went out warning of job losses as spending reductions from the department’s strategic review were rolled out.

    Harried, not sure you understand the post. Having Taylor decide to bring 100 trained workers to a privately owned farm is different than the Province or Federal Government laying off hundreds of workers. Sort of like the State of WA or the US Government laying off Fisheries people. And I doubt that Taylor will be able to keep those people up there longer than six months. Immigration rules, etc. But I’m not an expert on that law. Maybe there is a way to do it.

    Job losses? Then why did Mr. Taylor announce he was taking 100 workers from Washington to run his newly purchased 200+ acre mussel farm in BC? Can’t Canadians continue to run the operation?
