If they really want to make the argument that we don’t have enough housing to support the number of people being brought in they should probably present the data in a more accurate and less manipulative fashion.
The public didn’t really seem to care about this program or the exploitation until people started using it as a scapegoat for high rent/housing prices but I doubt many are going to bother boycotting businesses that have and are abusing the system for cheap and subservient labour.
This stuff stops when people choose to hold the businesses accountable, regardless of how the government decides to handle it. Unfortunately too many people seem more worried about the consumer costs associated with businesses paying Canadians a wage they’d actually work for than they are with all of the other negative consequences that stem from not doing so. Pick your poison. Do you want to pay an extra 50 cents for your Big Mac or an extra 50% for your house?
