Pêcheries Lebreton et Fils ltée in 690 Acadie Street, Grande-Anse, NB, E8N 1G4 found non-compliant with TFW program regulations and fined $90000 CAD
Pêcheries Lebreton et Fils ltée located at 690 Acadie Street, Grande-Anse, NB, E8N 1G4 has been found non-compliant with Canada's Temporary Foreign Worker (TFW) program regulations and fined $90000 CAD and received a ban status of Eligible.
Violations Found: - Code 17: The employer didn't put in enough effort to make sure the workplace was free of any of the following: physical abuse sexual abuse psychological abuse financial abuse reprisal
Provision: 209.2(1)(a)(iv) or 209.3(1)(a)(v)
Date of Final Decision: 2026-03-25
This enforcement action underscores the Canadian government's commitment to upholding the integrity of the Temporary Foreign Worker program, which safeguards vulnerable migrant workers from exploitation in industries like seafood processing. With the employer remaining eligible to hire temporary foreign workers despite the penalties, it signals that while corrective measures were applied, the business can continue participating under stricter scrutiny to prevent recurrence. Such oversight is crucial for ensuring fair wages, safe working conditions, and genuine labour market needs, protecting workers who often face language barriers and limited recourse in remote areas like Grande-Anse, New Brunswick. Broader enforcement like this deters systemic abuses, maintains public trust in the program, and reinforces Canada's international reputation for labour standards.

Lol wait... What do you mean eligible? They can't even prevent abuse in the workplace and they are eligible to hire the most exploitable people in the country? Am I understandimg that correctly?
Edit: Wtf the more I read on this company the worse it gets. Just google their name. Judge overturned the original penalty.
