​Description: Arshdeep Singh - Prime Minister Justin Trudeau isn’t ruling out the idea of a four-day work week in Canada as a way to boost the economy after the COVID-19 pandemic. However, if we talk about immigrant communities, they come to Canada to strengthen themselves financially. Many people from Punjab, India who come to this country, whether as international students, on a work permit or as skilled immigrants, have a dream of a better life including strengthening their economic situation in Canada. Economically, they start from scratch here. They need to work hard for 7 days a week to establish themselves in this country. Less working days would mean less money for them. Therefore, a four-day work week may not suit them.
