I don't think some level of protectionism is so bad. We already incorporate that into our immigration policies. The aspect of the idea I like the most is that it creates an incentive for employers to hire f/t staff instead of taking advantage of lax legislation which is creating a class of working poor in Canada.

The alternative, I suppose, would be to change the employment legislation and ramp up the welfare state so that we would eradicate the working poor but, of course, we know that will never happen :)

We have to do SOMETHING to close the gap between rich and poor. Seems to me this is as good a solution as any.
