I would very much appreciate that. Thank you.

I've been hearing a lot of concerns from the industry that there's the potential for pulling agriculture out of the temporary worker program and putting it into some form of its own stand-alone. They're concerned that perhaps ESDC does not fully understand the importance of the seasonal agriculture worker program. What kind of representations are you making over to EDSC on the seasonal agriculture program and its component as a stand-alone entity?
