Thank you, Ms. Kusie.
I think the maximum length, which is going from 180 to 270 days per year, is a step in the right direction. However, there would certainly be a way that would allow for even more flexibility and opportunities for entrepreneurs to be able to keep these workers more long-term.
That is why the CFIB is calling for an introduction to Canada visa for workers coming here under the TFWP. After a certain number of years when workers come to Canada to work here and contribute to the Canadian economy, that visa would make it easier for them to stay here, and this would mean that companies could continue to rely on these workers more permanently.
