You are talking about the percentage of temporary foreign workers, which has increased to 20%. We are pleased, as we have been calling for that for a long time. However, we found that it took a long time for the new cap to be applied. The announcement was made in August, but the increase came into effect in January.
Could the government not go a bit further and increase the percentage even more? Industry is proposing 30%, as its labour shortage has gone up to 25% or 30% in facilities.
Is the department considering that kind of an increase within a time frame shorter than six months or a year?
