"Neoliberalism has led to increased contracting out of work and a job market that overall is less favourable to workers. Temporary employment agencies occupy a central place in this job market. These agencies provide businesses - their client companies - with qualified labour, without being subject to the usual constraints of labour and employment-related laws. In France a choice was made early on to regulate temporary employment agencies, while other jurisdictions, such as Quebec, have completely ignored this kind of tripartite employment relationship. Quebec should look to the French model for inspiration. "
