Canadians are divided on whether Ottawa should eliminate its temporary foreign worker program, although the scales tip in favour of scrapping the program, a new survey suggests.

Forty-four percent of Canadians said they support a recent proposal by Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre to phase out the temporary foreign worker program (TFWP) while 30 percent are opposed to such a move, a survey from Abacus Data found. An additional 18 percent of those polled said they were either neutral or undecided on the subject.
