Letters from top Ontario officials to Windsor’s acting medical officer of health scold him for sending now-rescinded written directives to businesses to halt the arrival of temporary foreign workers, CBC News has learned. 

The separate letters, addressed to Dr. Shanker Nesathurai and sent after his instructions to businesses were walked back, were from Minister of Citizenship and Multiculturalism Parm Gill and the province’s chief medical officer of health, Dr. Kieran Moore. Copies of their letters were obtained by CBC News.

Nesathurai’s letter of instruction told employers to cancel, suspend or postpone the arrival of temporary foreign workers to the region between Jan. 13 and Feb. 1.
