3:30- Jinny Sims, NDP MP, Re: The Royal Bank of Canada says it plans to discuss some of its hiring practices with the federal government after a media report claimed the bank was employing temporary foreign workers to replace some Canadian staff.

Human Resources Minister Diane Finley issued a statement saying the RBC situation is unacceptable if it is true.
