Tomoya Obokata , the Human Rights Council -appointed Special Rapporteur on the global scourge of modern slavery issued his statement at the end of a 14-day visit. He called on the Canadian Government to intensify its efforts to safeguard workers' rights and offer a clear pathway to permanent residency for all migrants. Migrant workers at risk "I am deeply disturbed by the accounts of exploitation and abuse shared with me by migrant workers," he said "Employer-specific work permit regimes, including certain Temporary Foreign Worker Programmes, make migrant workers vulnerable to contemporary forms of slavery, as they cannot report abuses without fear of deportation," Obokata said.
