Yes, yes. I'm very short and sharp.
As you heard from my colleagues, immigration is a large irritant of any MP's office because people are quite concerned about backlogs, about the fact that they do not get visas on time. You have reduced it from up to 400,000. The professionals especially decide Canada is not really the place to be, if Australia is giving it to them. You said 42 million people want to come, but the world population is six billion. Even one quarter of Africa doesn't want to come here, and we need the people. So really let's be realistic about what we're looking at.
When I look at the temporary foreign workers and at what the Auditor General has said--that a number of key decisions have been made without benefit or risk analysis--I wonder whether temporary foreign workers are regarded as a panacea to overcome that backlog of permanent residents. That's number one.
Number two, do you have any data as to how many temporary foreign workers we have in the system? We had a recent incident in Toronto where five people fell to their death. These were temporary foreign workers with no security. As the Auditor General has rightly pointed out, they're vulnerable. They do not get the right checks and balances. They do not have security when they are doing construction work, and that's what we're hiring them for.
Do you have any data as to how many we have in the system and what the issues are? Madame Charest talked about the checks and balances and regulations. How many people do you have to ensure that the regulations are in place? How do you put in safety measures when you don't have the number of people? You're not there to police them on a daily basis.
If you could just help me understand this, perhaps we can have a discussion further on.
