Its not necessarily a bad thing to employ people in other, less developed nations either from a global perspective.
Also word is they were just moving people to a different department and not necessarily firing them.

No, no they don't. Massive difference between outsourcing and bringing in TFWs. Massive.
The TFW program is designed to fill skill gaps, specifically when an employer proves that they have exhausted all reasonable options in order to employ Canadians for specific positions, then they are allowed to bring over TFWs.
Using it as a cost control method is completely against the intentions of the program and probably illegal.
