President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo (Philippines) and Canadian Prime Minister Paul Martin had a one-on-one meeting at the 21 Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation's (APEC) Annual Summit in Santiago. The Filipinos hope they talked about the conditions of the domestic workers in Canada towards a better protection of their rights. The Community Alliance for Social Justice made recommandations to the canadian government to change the LCP including: 1) granting immediate permanent residence status to caregivers; 2) making the live-in requirement with employers optional; 3) regulating and monitoring recruitment and employment; and 4) increasing support for immigrant and caregiver rights groups.
