Finally, I'll reiterate two points that I've made before this committee in the past. First, there's a huge lack of data on the prevalence of internships and the characteristics of interns in Canada, which is a barrier to effective policy-making. The Canada labour program, Statistics Canada, and the Canada Revenue Agency should begin collecting data. To address illegal unpaid work, these departments also need to adopt proactive enforcement strategies.
Thank you for inviting us to appear before the committee.
