First of all, I think for someone making so little money, even 10¢ more an hour makes a big difference. That's crossing that situation you described.
In terms of the investment of the employers, the issue is that the program was designed for employers in the 1950s. I think attitudes have changed and the program must change with them.
I have to say—and please indulge me—that I also have trade files. When I look at the U.S. and the EU, I look at some of the rules they have around migrant workers and forced labour and at the human rights due diligence practices they have. If Canada wants to compete, I would say this is a good place to start. Bring the program up to speed and make sure that workers are protected under the temporary foreign worker program and paid and valued for the work they do.
