A timely analysis of why the Seasonal Agricultural Workers Program is needed. Basok argues while Mexican workers do not necessarily constitute cheap labour for Canadian growers, they are vital for the survival of some agricultural sectors as they are always available for work, even on holidays and weekends, or when exhausted, sick, or injured.
