Unclear whether N.B. employers will face consequences over alleged abuse of foreign workers
Industry rep says he hasn't seen abuse, responsibility of researchers to reveal names
Meanwhile an industry representative says the report does not reflect to his experience, and lays the responsibility on the researchers to produce names of offending employers.
On Wednesday, researchers from Dalhousie and St. Thomas universities released a report based on interviews with low-wage temporary foreign workers in New Brunswick in 2020 and 2021.
The report, funded by Cooper Institute and the Madhu Verma Migrant Justice Centre, includes first-person descriptions of cramped housing and verbal abuse.
Some workers said they were told "it's not a good idea to get sick," were reprimanded for calling an ambulance for a colleague, and felt they were not trained adequately to handle dangerous equipment.

Carla Qualtrough, the federal minister of employment, workforce development and disability inclusion, said in a statement the study's findings are "disturbing."
"All allegations of this nature are reviewed and acted upon. If criminal activity is suspected, the information is forwarded to law enforcement agencies," she said.
Qualtrough's office did not confirm whether a specific investigation was triggered by the report. The report did not name any workplaces in order to protect the identity of the interviewees, some of whom still work in New Brunswick and fear reprisals.
In an interview Thursday, Nat Richard, executive director of the Lobster Processors Association in New Brunswick, said the report relies on the first-hand experiences of 14 people out of more than 2,000, and that makes it inaccurate.
"What is portrayed in that report is nowhere close to the reality of our industry," he said.
Nat Richard of the Lobster Processors Association says the report does not match up with his experience of how temporary foreign workers are treated. (CBC)
The report said workers would only speak on conditions of strict anonymity, and few ever speak out against employers because they fear deportation or not being invited back to work next season.
"If that is true, I cannot condone that," Richard said.
When asked what role his association has in responding to the issues raised by the report, he said he would be happy to hear from the researchers directly.
"If they want to reach out to me and identify who these employers are, I will gladly put them in touch with the responsible federal authorities so these cases can be looked at more carefully," he said.
Raluca Bejan, lead author of the report, said the names of the employers mentioned by some workers will not be revealed. (Dalhousie University)
The report's lead author Raluca Bejan, who is an assistant professor of social work at Dalhousie University, said researchers spent months trying to find workers willing to speak.
She said a member of the team speaks Spanish, and that helped them gain the trust of the Mexican community. They were able to interview 15 people, she said, one of whom worked as a mushroom picker and the rest worked in seafood processing. She said researchers used all of the interviews they gathered to compile the report.
Research ethics and their policies dictate that they can't reveal identifying information of those who agreed to be interviewed, Bejan said.
"We cannot destroy people's livelihoods by doing that."
"We won't reveal the name of the employers and the locations because some people want to go back to the same workplaces."
She said even if the employers are identified, she believes the problem lies with the program itself. She said it does not have adequate protections, especially when it comes to housing standards.
A spokesperson for Qualtrough's office said threatening deportation, not adequately informing workers of health and safety regulation and not properly communicating healthcare insurance details are all considered to be contravening the temporary foreign worker program.
She said investigations are triggered by direct complaints from workers, but also from advocacy groups or news reports.
Typically, specific employer names are needed to start an investigation, but that doesn't mean it won't take place. She said the 24/7 tip line is still operational, and workers can always go to advocacy groups and ask them to make complaints on their behalf.
The government has amended the program since researchers conducted the interviews to require employers to make certain the people they hire did not pay recruiters who charge thousands of dollars to help workers secure contracts.
The government is also working on a national housing standards strategy for the low-wage stream of the program, alongside the provinces and territories.
'There's absolutely no obligation ... to return'
Richard said the fact that some workers come back year after year proves the report is not accurate.
"There's absolutely no obligation on the part of these workers to return to the same processing facility year after year, and the vast majority of them do," he said.
When asked whether that may be because some workers have no other option, Richard said working in seafood processing isn't easy, and employers pay several dollars more than the provincial minimum wage of $13.75.
"A lot of these workers tell me they make more in an hour in Canada than they would in their home countries over a whole day, assuming they can even find employment," he said.
"We need these workers desperately in our industry … I think we need to have a little bit more of a reasonable debate about this, not tar everybody with the same brush. Understand that most employers do work very hard to provide decent and safe and welcoming workplaces."

It would be interesting to read the actual report and not just way it was presented in media articles. According to the researchers, the purpose of the study was to present the federal government with areas for improvement in the overall program. However, after reading the news coverage, most people seem to have gotten the impression that the purpose was to go after specific employers. How much of that impression comes from the report itself? How much comes from the way it's presented in the news coverage? Or is it just that going after specific employers seems more direct, easier to accomplish and perhaps even more emotionally satisfying compared to making changes in a federal program.

Foreign workers at N.B. seafood plants face threats, cramped quarters and racism, study finds
Report calls on governments to regulate housing, working conditions to protect 3,000 workers
They take a two-hour bus ride to work at a New Brunswick seafood plant, making several stops, when a straight drive would have taken 15 minutes.
At a lobster processing plant, they stand in one place for 10 hours, facing dangerous, finger-crushing machinery with little training and can only nod when a supervisor screams abuse at them.
According to a new report, the situation faced by temporary foreign workers in New Brunswick is precarious.
Nat Richard, a spokesperson for lobster-processing plants, dismissed the report, saying it unfairly discredited the industry based on a small number of interviews with workers.
"New Brunswick processing plants are subject to extremely rigorous controls and inspections," he said Wednesday.
Work the industry relies on
The workers' experience is compiled from interviews with 14 temporary foreign workers in the province's seafood industry, and one hired to be a mushroom picker.
The workers spoke under conditions of anonymity to researchers from Dalhousie University, St. Thomas University, Cooper Institute and the Madhu Verma Migrant Justice Centre.
The report, released Wednesday, includes accounts of exploitation, racism, and threats of deportation, all affecting people paid $13 an hour to do work on which the industry relies.
"They pay us … the minimum wage, the lowest you can afford," one worker told the researchers.
"Because we're doing the work that a lot of Canadians don't want to do, well, be fair with the payment. I will not say that they have to pay us the same as some Canadians, but well, come closer, right?"
At the end of their shifts, some workers suspect their supervisor of under-weighing the meat they processed to avoid paying them a bonus, said the report, which does not identify the plants or their locations.
And the workers need the bonus to pay back more than $1,000 a recruiter charged each of them to help with the paperwork that got them to New Brunswick.
No visitors allowed
Back in their rural housing, the workers line up again to wash the smell of seafood off. Some of them want to invite friends over, but don't, because they fear their boss will find out and scold them.
The boss is their landlord and forbids visitors.
Raluca Bejan, the study's lead author and assistant professor of social work at Dalhousie University, said overall, working and living conditions in New Brunswick are "much more precarious," than what the researchers found in a similar study in Prince Edward Island.
"Here we have 10, 20 people living in one accommodation ... for the most part unsuitable," she said.
One worker lived in an unfurnished apartment and could not buy any furniture or appliances, except a second-hand microwave, the report said.

The worker slept "on the floor, just like that. [I] bought some blankets. A friend gave me a blanket and I bought another one, and that's how I stayed."
Most housing also had little hot water, low temperatures, and no internet access, Bejan said.
"Also housing tends to be very isolated. So workers have no way to go to a grocery store," she said.
The workers have to rely on their employers, some of whom dock paycheques for a van trip to the supermarket, Bejan said.
On these trips, they have one hour to shop, a worker said.
"Many times, you go out, and the van isn't there. They left you there. And you must get a taxi to your home."
Bejan said the researchers also found a lot more "verbal abuse and yelling" compared to P.E.I.
The workers were all interviewed after the COVID-19 pandemic was declared.
The report says the pandemic exacerbated problems that already existed, but the fear of foreign workers bringing in the virus made some issues worse, such as employers being unreasonably strict.
The report also says some workers felt they weren't equipped with enough personal protective equipment, and some had to buy their own cleaning supplies.
Several workers said they experienced racism and xenophobia, both from their employers as well as the wider community.
Some workers said they feel they're treated differently because they're foreign, and noticed preferential treatment to their Canadian counterparts. Some also recounted insults hurled from cars and being called "damn Mexicans," while trying to shop at a store.
One worker said they don't mind the long hours and difficult work, because it's the job, but it's all made almost impossible to manage because of the difficult living conditions.
Since the pandemic, the number of temporary workers has been growing "exponentially," Bejan said. In 2019, the province had around 1,600 temporary foreign workers.
At the end of 2022, there were around 3,600 temporary workers, 60 per cent of them coming from the low-wage stream and supplying the seafood industry.
What about government regulations?
Bejan said the researchers studied the low-wage stream of temporary foreign workers, mostly from Mexico and Philippines, which is the least regulated of the three streams.
Other streams, which bring in agricultural workers for example, have housing standards such as no more than two people per room. In this program, there is no such rule.
"There are a lot of things like that, which I think can be quickly remediated by introducing more regulations and guidelines," Bejan said.
The report asks the federal government to grant permanent residency to the workers, abolish employee-specific work permits that prevent workers from speaking up out of fear of deportation, establish minimum labour standards, ensure access to safe housing and create bilateral agreements with the countries that most of the workers come from.
The recommendations to the provincial government are similar, but include specifically strengthening the Employment Standards Act to protect workers from abuse, removing barriers to unionization, and providing health insurance and legal aid.
Carla Qualtrough, the federal minister of employment, workforce development and disability inclusion, declined a request for an interview Wednesday.
The New Brunswick government said it is still reviewing the report but issued a statement saying anyone with concerns about their workplace should report them to the employment standards branch.
"Anytime we hear stories or reports of this nature it is troubling," said Paul Bradley, spokesperson for the Department of Post-Secondary Education, Training and Labour.
Bejan said that when it comes to employers, there's no disagreement that their primary aim is to make a profit.
"The state needs to jump in and put some regulations so the employers behave," she said.

Totally agree, if, as you say, the report is totally factual. That's why I'm wondering why there's nothing here on the "employer side" of the equation.

It's not new to hear TFW's complain about everything from wages to worksafe safety and conditions, living accommodations, employer abuse, and the list goes on. Treating them like "slave labour" (if such is indeed the case) is despicable, and should be seriously addressed by employers and government. Forget studies and task forces.....just DO IT.
And, the TFW's should have representation/input in whatever action plans are developed.
There's one thing missing in this article though, and that's the "employer perspective".
It's hard to properly evaluate any issue without first getting all sides to the story.

Federal and Provincial Governments Invest in Westmorland Fisheries Ltd. to Expand Global Presence and Increase Growth
News Release
ACOA’s $4.3 million loan will help the company modernize and improve production
May 20, 2016 – Cap-Pelé, N.B. – Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency
Federal and provincial government officials were in Cap-Pelé today alongside company officials to announce a significant investment of more than $4.7 million for Westmorland Fisheries Ltd. (WFL) to modernize, improve efficiencies and position the firm as a world leader in lobster processing. The company’s privately financed contribution brings the total investment to over $10 million in 2016, the largest in its history.
On hand for the announcement were the Honourable Dominic LeBlanc, Member of Parliament for Beauséjour, on behalf of the Honourable Navdeep Bains, Minister of Innovation, Science and Economic Development and Minister responsible for the Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency (ACOA); the Honourable Victor Boudreau, Minister of Health and Minister responsible for the Regional Development Corporation; Russel Jacob, President, Westmorland Fisheries and Nat Richard, Director, Corporate Affairs, Westmorland Fisheries.
The project involves a significant investment in new technology and equipment to produce new lobster products and improve productivity and efficiency. As part of this effort, WFL will adopt new technology to support its automation system, upgrade equipment throughout the facility and carry out significant enhancements to the plant.
Global demand for quality seafood products is continuing to grow and lobster remains Canada’s highest value fish and seafood export product, accounting for $1.5 billion in exports in 2014. WFL is one of the largest lobster processors in Canada, purchasing lobster from hundreds of harvesters in the region. These investments will help to ensure that WFL is a modern and efficient processing facility and enhance its competitiveness in growth markets.
The Government of Canada, through ACOA’s Business Development Program, is providing a $4,321,000 loan towards the project, while the Province of New Brunswick is contributing $410,000 and WFL is investing $5,788,000 financed through the Business Development Bank of Canada.
Westmorland Fisheries Ltd. opened its doors in 1973 and has a workforce of more than 400 employees during peak production. The company operates mostly in the frozen food segment of the industry under the Rocky Point® brand. From its 78,000 sq. ft. plant in Cap-Pelé, raw product is processed into a broad range of products, such as lobster meat, whole lobster, and raw tails, for retail and foodservice customers throughout North America, Europe and Asia.
Quotes:
“Westmorland Fisheries Ltd. understands that in order to compete in the world it must be innovative, efficient and productive. Innovation and global competitiveness have never been more important than they are today. I am pleased that the Government of Canada can contribute to WFL’s international growth and sustainability.”
- The Honourable Navdeep Bains, Minister of Innovation, Science and Economic Development and Minister responsible for ACOA
“New Brunswick has abundant natural resources and our products are in demand around the world. Westmorland Fisheries Ltd. is a cornerstone of the lobster industry and an important employer in southeastern New Brunswick, I am pleased that the Government of Canada can support WFL to further build a solid foundation right here in Cap-Pelé.”
- The Honourable Dominic LeBlanc, Leader of the Government in the House of Commons and Member of Parliament for Beauséjour
“Supporting established New Brunswick companies to increase exports and competitiveness in global markets is key to creating and retaining jobs here at home. New Brunswick’s fish and seafood products are in demand around the world and I am pleased that the province of New Brunswick can support Westmorland Fisheries Ltd. as it expands to meet that demand.”
- The Honourable Victor Boudreau, Minister of Health and Minister responsible for the Regional Development Corporation

As the only bank exclusively dedicated to entrepreneurs, the Business Development Bank of Canada (BDC) is committed to helping Atlantic Canadian entrepreneurs grow and succeed at taking their business to the next level.”
- Gina Gale, Senior Vice President, Financing and Consulting, BDC, Atlantic Canada
“This modernization program represents the largest investment in Westmorland Fisheries Ltd.’s history. The expansion, plant enhancements and new equipment will result in a stronger, more efficient and more innovative Westmorland, better positioned to capitalize on growing demand for lobster products all around the world.”
- Russel Jacob, President, Westmorland Fisheries Ltd.

COMMENTARY: Blaming Canada’s lobster industry for North Atlantic right whales’ plight unfair
Share to TwitterShare to LinkedInShare to More
GEOFF IRVINE and NAT RICHARD • Guest Opinion
Geoff Irvine is executive director of The Lobster Council of Canada. Nat Richard is executive director of the Lobster Processors Association.
Since 2017, many of us in the Canadian lobster industry feel like we’ve been trapped in a South Park episode. There has been a steady drumbeat eager to blame Canada for the plight of North Atlantic right whales (NARWs). The recent unfair red-listing by Seafood Watch just adds fuel to the fire.
Right whales were rarely observed in the Gulf of St. Lawrence until recently. Historically, they never ventured much beyond their northernmost habitats in the Bay of Fundy and the Roseway Basin area, in the offshore south of Nova Scotia, during summer and fall, before moving to their traditional winter calving grounds in the southeastern United States.
All that changed in 2017, when a large number unexpectedly moved to the Gulf. Tragically, we lost 17 right whales: 12 in Canadian waters and five in the United States. Two deaths out of 12 Canadian whale fatalities were found to be caused by crab gear entanglements.
New protection measures the following year resulted in zero deaths in 2018. None of eight verified deaths in 2019 were linked to Canadian fisheries and no mortalities were recorded in 2020. There has been no NARW mortality — from any cause — since 2019.
NOAA’s data confirms that only two deaths out of 21 documented in Canadian waters since 2017 were linked to fishing gear — neither due to lobster gear. Most of the mortality — when a cause could be determined — was linked to deadly ship strikes by ocean freighters and cruise ships.
It is a plain fact that there has never been a single, documented right whale death linked to Canadian lobster gear in recent history. There are several reasons why lobster fishing presents a lower risk in Canada. It’s an inshore fishery conducted mostly in shallow waters of less than 20 fathoms, where right whales are rarely observed.
Our lobster fisheries are also managed differently. One key difference is that Canada’s Gulf lobster season in May-June is fixed at 60 days. Therefore, there is limited overlap with times of year when NARWs are most concentrated in the Gulf of St. Lawrence, from July to September. Another crucial difference is that our harvesters have an average trap limit of 300 per boat, compared with 800 in New England.
Our American peers have made huge strides and sacrifices in recent years to protect right whales and we commend them for their efforts. Canada has also been leading the way with the most aggressive management measures in the world. They are adapted annually (and in-season) based on the best science and the evolving distribution of NARWs in our waters.
Dr. Moira Brown, a senior scientist at the Canadian Whale Institute who has studied right whales for almost 40 years, recently stated that Canadian right whale measures were “unmatched in eastern North America.”
Canada’s lobster fisheries continue to maintain its third-party Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) certification. It was renewed in February 2021 and includes a rigorous annual analysis of the impact of our fishery on marine mammals, including NARWs.
Canadian snow crab harvesters have stepped up in a major way since the 2017 crisis. In 2022, many are testing ropeless gear units under special permits to harvest in closed areas, in what is the largest R&D trial in North America.
Much has been said about NOAA’s decision to make a 950 square mile area of the Gulf of Maine essentially off-limits to fishing from October to January. Consider that in 2021, Canada closed more than 29,000 square miles, either temporarily or for the whole season based on actual sightings or detections of right whales. While disruptive and costly, these targeted and adaptive closure protocols, widely supported by our fishermen, have closed massive areas to fishing whenever NARWs are present.
Since its 2020 launch, our ghost gear program has removed 7,560 units of lost gear and 155 kilometres of rope, thereby reducing threats to marine mammals. Canada is also working with harvesters to implement low-breaking strength rope or links to facilitate whales’ self-release in the unlikely event that entanglements should occur.
Canada has spared no effort to protect right whales since 2017. We implemented a broad suite of measures, including comprehensive closure protocols, mandatory speed restrictions for fishing and large vessels, unprecedented de-icing resources to allow for early crab fishing before NARWs arrive, massive aerial and at-sea surveillance with cutting-edge detection technology, elimination of all floating horizontal lines, “trawling” up to reduce vertical lines, 100 per cent gear marking for all fixed gear fisheries, among others. The fact that not a single NARW mortality has occurred for the past three years speaks volumes about their effectiveness.
For more than 150 years, North America’s lobster fishery has proven itself to be one of the most sustainable wild fisheries on the planet. For all of us, on both sides of the Canada-U.S. border, who care deeply about its future, the path forward is clear.
First, let’s remember that lobster in North America is a highly integrated, multibillion dollar industry. We are each other’s largest export market. Tens of thousands of fishing families, plant workers and hundreds of coastal communities depend on us setting the record straight and winning this fight.
Second, we need to stand up and push back on what Seafood Watch represents: activism masquerading as science. They lumped all fixed-gear fisheries into one basket, with blatant disregard of the facts and lacking peer-review validation. Canada and the United States have a proud record of global leadership on seafood sustainability. Cooler heads must prevail. We need more science, and less politics; more bi-national collaboration, less finger-pointing. Ensuring a sustainable future for the right whale — and addressing the threats facing them — knows no borders and needs to be addressed bi-nationally.
