Hiring summer interns

NAFTA's future with Mexico's new president

On BIV Today...

It’s summer, which means offices across the province are likely sprinkled with eager, young interns looking to make their mark in the professional world. But what should employers know before taking on an intern to help fill in? Employment lawyer Leslie Whittaker (1:00) from Boughton Law breaks down some of the most common problems employers and interns face.

Then, SFU international studies professor Gerardo Otero (8:54) discusses the busy summer ahead for Canada’s international relations as it balances escalating trade measures with the Trump administration with a new populist president in Mexico who does not appear to be a big fan of NAFTA.
